In this paper, we study the hypercyclic composition operators on weighted Banach spaces of functions defined on discrete metric spaces. We show that the only such composition operators act on the "little" spaces. We characterize the bounded…

We consider similarity transformations of a perturbed linear operator $A-B$ in a complex Banach space $\mathcal{X}$, where the unperturbed operator $A$ is a generator of a Banach $L_1(\mathbb{R})$-module and the perturbation operator $B$ is…

The powerful concept of an operator ideal on the class of all Banach spaces makes sense in the real and in the complex case. In both settings we may, for example, consider compact, nuclear, or $2$--summing operators, where the definitions…

In this article we introduce several new examples of Wiener pairs $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathcal{B}$, where $\mathcal{B} = \mathcal{B}(\ell^2(X;\mathcal{H}))$ is the Banach algebra of bounded operators acting on the Hilbert space-valued…

In this article, we give a representation for compact operators acting between reflexive Banach spaces, which generalizes the representation given by Edmunds et al. for compact operators between reflexive Banach spaces with strictly convex…

We investigate weak amenability of the Banach algebra A(X) of approximable operators on a Banach space X and its relation to factorization properties of operators in A(X). We show that if A(X) is weakly amenable, then either A(X) is…

We give a brief overview of the area of Banach algebras, intended for a general mathematical audience.

Let $\mathbb{B}$ be the unit ball of a complex Banach space $X$. In this paper, we will generalize the Bloch-type spaces and the little Bloch-type spaces to the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ by using the radial derivative. Next, we define an…

This thesis addresses Pour-El and Richards' fourth question from their book "Computability in analysis and physics", concerning the relation between higher order recursion theory and computability in analysis. Among other things it is shown…

Non-commutative $L^p$-spaces are shown to constitute examples of a class of Banach quasi *-algebras called CQ*-algebras. For $p\geq 2$ they are also proved to possess a {\em sufficient} family of bounded positive sesquilinear forms…

We show the existence of a compact metric space $K$ such that whenever $K$ embeds isometrically into a Banach space $Y$, then any separable Banach space is linearly isometric to a subspace of $Y$. We also address the following related…

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space and $A$ a Banach algebra. We investigate amenability properties of the algebra $C(X,A)$ of all $A$-valued continuous functions. We show that $C(X,A)$ has a bounded approximate diagonal if and only if $A$…

A well-known result going back to the 1930s states that all bounded linear operators mapping scalar-valued $L^1$-spaces into $L^\infty$-spaces are kernel operators and that in fact this relation induces an isometric isomorphism between the…

The purpose of this article is to characterize the quasi-isometry type of a proper metric space via the Banach algebra of Higson functions on it.

We describe the proper closed invariant subspaces of the integration operator when it acts continuously on countable intersections and countable unions of weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disc or the complex…

We initiate a study of structural properties of the quotient algebra $\mathcal K(X)/\mathcal A(X)$ of the compact-by-approximable operators on Banach spaces $X$ failing the approximation property. Our main results and examples include the…

It is proved that the relation of isomorphism between separable Banach spaces is a complete analytic equivalence relation, i.e., that any analytic equivalence relation Borel reduces to it. Thus, separable Banach spaces up to isomorphism…

We study best approximations to compact operators between Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, from the point of view of Birkhoff-James orthogonality and semi-inner-products. As an application of the present study, some distance formulae are…

Let X be a complex Banach space of dimension at least 2, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on X such that the rank of AB - BA is at most 1 for all pairs {A,B} in S. We prove that S has a non-trivial invariant subspace…

It has been very recently discovered that there are compact linear operators between Banach spaces which cannot be approximated by norm attaining operators. The aim of this expository paper is to give an overview of those examples and also…
