Let $A+B$ be the pointwise (Minkowski) sum of two convex subsets $A$ and $B$ of a Banach space. Is it true that every continuous mapping $h:X \to A+B$ splits into a sum $h=f+g$ of continuous mappings $f:X \to A$ and $g:X \to B$? We study…

We construct a weak Hilbert Banach space such that for every block subspace $Y$ every bounded linear operator on Y is of the form D+S where S is a strictly singular operator and D is a diagonal operator. We show that this yields a weak…

We study automatic injectivity of surjective algebra homomorphisms from $\mathscr{B}(X)$, the algebra of (bounded, linear) operators on $X$, to $\mathscr{B}(Y)$, where $X$ is one of the following \emph{long} sequence spaces: $c_0(\lambda)$,…

For an operator $A$ on a complex Banach space $X$ and a closed subspace $M\subseteq X$, the local commutant of $A$ at $M$ is the set $C(A;M)$ of all operators $T$ on $X$ such that $TAx=ATx$ for every $x\in M$. It is clear that $ C(A;M)$ is…

A Banach space X has the SHAI (surjective homomorphisms are injective) property provided that for every Banach space Y, every continuous surjective algebra homomorphism from the bounded linear operators on X onto the bounded linear…

Assume that $X$ is a complex separable infinite dimensional Banach space and $\mathcal{B}(X)$ denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators from $X$ to itself. In 1970, P.R. Halmos raised ten open problems in Hilbert spaces.…

The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…

We show that there exist infinite-dimensional extremely non-complex Banach spaces, i.e. spaces $X$ such that the norm equality $\|Id + T^2\|=1 + \|T^2\|$ holds for every bounded linear operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$. This answers in the…

Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand. We also…

We study a hypercyclicity property of linear dynamical systems: a bounded linear operator T acting on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space X is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector x in X such that {T^{n}x : n>0} is…

In the article is introduced a new class of Banach spaces that are called sub B-convex. Namely, a Banach space X is said to be B -convex if it may be represented as a direct sum l_1+ W, where W is B-convex. It will be shown that any…

There has been a long-standing conjecture in Banach algebra that every amenable operator is similar to a normal operator. In this paper, we study the structure of amenable operators on Hilbert spaces. At first, we show that the conjecture…

It is known that any separable Banach space with BAP is a complemented subspace of a Banach space with a basis. We show that every operator with bounded approximation property, acting from a separable Banach space, can be factored through a…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex) Banach space $X$. If $(a_n)$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers tending to 0. Then, the set of $x \in X$ such that $\|T^nx\| \geqslant a_n \|T^n\|$ for infinitely many $n$'s has…

We show that if the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on a separable Banach function space $X(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and on its associate space $X'(\mathbb{R}^n)$, then a pseudodifferential operator $\operatorname{Op}(a)$ is bounded on…

An operator $T$ on a Banach space is said to be of chain $N$ if there exist non-scalar operators $S_1,...,S_{N-1}$ and a non-zero compact $K$ such that $$T \leftrightarrow S_1 \leftrightarrow S_2 \leftrightarrow ...\leftrightarrow S_{N-1}…

We furnish a simple way of constructing an unbounded closed linear operator in a complex Banach space, whose spectrum is an arbitrary nonempty closed, in particular compact, subset of the complex plane.

We examine the phenomenon when surjective algebra homomorphisms between algebras of operators on Banach spaces are automatically injective. In the first part of the paper we shall show that for certain Banach spaces $X$ the following…

Let $1 \leq p <\infty$. A sequence $\lef x_n \rig$ in a Banach space $X$ is defined to be $p$-operator summable if for each $\lef f_n \rig \in l^{w^*}_p(X^*)$, we have $\lef \lef f_n(x_k)\rig_k \rig_n \in l^s_p(l_p)$. Every norm…

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…
