Continuity of lattice operations in Banach lattices

Let $L$ be a Dedekind-complete Banach lattice. Let $\mathcal{B}$ be the family of nonempty norm-compact subsets of $L$ that are bounded from below. Endow $\mathcal{B}$ with the to …

$(1+\epsilon)$-injective Banach spaces, complex scalars

It is well known that a real Banach space which is $(1+\epsilon)$-injective for every $\epsilon >0$ is already 1-injective (Lindenstrauss Memoirs AMS, 1964). Using common terminol …

Counterexample of non-negative sequence weakly converging in $\mathscr{M}^1$ but not $L^1$

Hi. Consider a a sequence of non-negative functions $(f_n)_n$, bounded in $L^1([-1,1])$ and weakly$-\star$ converging in $\mathscr{M}^1([-1,1])$ to some $f\in L^1([-1,1])$. What I …

almost projective Banach space, complex scalars

It is well-known that if a real Banach space $E$ is "almost metrically projective" then $E$ is isometrically isomorphic to some $\ell^1(\Gamma)$. We say $E$ is "almost metrically …

Special kind of operators

Consider an operator $A: H \longrightarrow X$ ($H$ is a Hilbert space and $X$ is a Banach space) that has a representation $$ A = \sum_{j=0}^\infty a_j \langle \cdot, e_j\rangle \c …

Is scalarwise measurability determined by the strong dual?

Since this question has not received an answer so far, I try to reformulate the question in a simpler manner as follows: Do there exist $E,F,\ell,f$ such that $E$ and $F$ are se …

Categorical notions involving $\ell_p$ spaces.

First of all, apologies for a somewhat vague question but let me give a try. We know what the projective objects in the category of Banach spaces are: these are precisely $\ell_1(\ …

radon-nikodým property of $\ell^\infty$

I am wondering whether $\ell^\infty(\mathbb N)$ has the Radon-Nikodým property. Of course $\ell^1(\mathbb N)$ does, but I was unable to find out whether (e.g.) duals of spaces with …

Martingale-cotype vs cotype on super-reflexive spaces

I'm have difficultly nailing down the direction of some implications. For $2 \leq q < \infty$, there are (at least) two ways to say that a Banach space $B$ has "cotype $q$". …

Extensions of Carathéodory’s theorem

We know about the Carathéodory's theorem which is on the convex bodies of $\mathbb{R}^d$. My question is, how far we can extend it? Is it true for say, any convex object of Banach …

Are compact sets in a Banach lattice order bounded?

Given a compact subset $A$ of a Banach lattice $E$, is the following true? There exist $u,v\in E$ so that $u\leq a\leq v$ for all $a\in A$. This is true in case $E=C(X)$, $X$ c …

On hyperplanes of $L\infty$

Consider the hyperplane $H=\{f\in L^\infty: \int f = 0\}$ of $L^\infty = L^\infty[0,1]$. My question is: 1. What is the Banach-Mazur distance between $H$ and $L^\infty$? Are ther …

Is the set of the absolutely continuous functions a Borel set of the space of the continuous functions ?

Does anyone knows whether the set of the absolutely functions $F :[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}^d$ of the form $$F(t)= a + \int_0^tf(s) ds$$ where $f$ is an integrable function is a Borel se …
