Continuity of lattice operations in Banach lattices In $L_2(0,1)$ take '$X_n = \{1_{A_i} : 1 \le i \le 2^n \}$', where `$A_i = [(i-1)/2^n, i/2^n]$'. This gives an order bounded counterexample to Q2 which can be generalized to any order continuous non discrete Banach lattice. But the lattice generated by the $X_n$ is not totally bounded. |

Explicit form of the homeomorphism between $C[0,1]$ and $C[0,1]\setminus 0$ I would try to adapt the construction for $\ell_2$ to $c_0$ and use the fact that $c_0$ is isometric to a norm one complemented subspace of $C[0,1])$ in a natural way. |

Range of the Fourier transform on L^1 Easier, Yemon: $C_0$ contains a subspace isomorphic to $c_0$ while no $L_1$ space does (e.g. by cotype or weak sequential completeness or...). |

almost projective Banach space, complex scalars Well, for example from $E^{*}$ being one injective you get that $E^{**}$ is contractively complemented in an $L_1$ space, which gives what I said. |

$(1+\epsilon)$-injective Banach spaces, complex scalars Sure, because for dual spaces you can use weak$^*$ compactness. A similar proof shows that a dual space that is $\pi_{\lambda}^\infty$ for every $\lambda > 1 $ is $1$-injective. |

What is the largest possible operator norm of a sparse (0,1)-matrix? Sure, Survit. That is the Hilbert-Schmidt, which dominates the operator norm, and the norms are the same for rank one operators. More generally, $k^{1/2}$ is the right answer for all $k \le n$ for the same reason--put all the ones in one column. I guess when $n^2 \ge k > n$ you get the max when you fill up as many columns as possible with ones and put the left over ones into one column. |

almost projective Banach space, complex scalars I don't recall seeing anything for the complex case for this question or your one on injective spaces. This one looks easier to me. You get that the inclusion from $E$ into its second dual isometrically factors through some $L_1$ space and that $E$ is almost isometric to $\ell_1(\Gamma)$. Is that enough to get $E$ contractively complemented in some some $L_1$ space? That would do it, yes? Aren't the contractively complemented subspaces of $L_1$ spaces treated in Lacey's book? I am travelling and cannot easily check. |

Unambiguous “weak” vector valued $L^{+\infty}$ spaces? More generally, if $E'$ is separable, then weak$^*$ measurability into $E'$ gives strong measurability. This is in books; Diestel-Uhl comes to mind. It follows from the fact that the unit ball is weak$^*$ measurable when $E'$ is separable. |

Counterexample of non-negative sequence weakly converging in $\mathscr{M}^1$ but not $L^1$ For $x$ in $D$ let $N(x)$ be the set of $n$ s.t. $f_n(x) < f(x) + 1$. Since $D$ is infinite, $\cap_{x \in D} N(x)$ can be empty. |

Dual space of Bochner space: is there an easier proof to show they’re isometric? No, this is all there is to it. I wonder why this question has hung around for four days. I just voted to close. |

Counterexample of non-negative sequence weakly converging in $\mathscr{M}^1$ but not $L^1$ Well, one mistake in your proof is that the final inequality in Step 3 only holds for $n$ sufficiently large, where "sufficiently large" depends on $x$. |

Counterexample of non-negative sequence weakly converging in $\mathscr{M}^1$ but not $L^1$ The intervals do intersect, but the functions are a small perturbation of a disjoint sequence of functions (multiply $f_n$ by the characteristic function of the complement of the union of the supports of $f_m$ for $m>n$). |

Almost orthogonal vectors in subsets of euclidean space Well, for a random subset (where random can mean various things) the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma gives $ \exp ( b \epsilon^2 m)$ for some positive constant $b$ independent of $n$ and $\epsilon$, Dustin. Presumably the OP is interested in more precise results and low dimensions. |

A characterization of Hilbert spaces? Nice, Sergei. If some duality map is biLipschitz, then must the Banach space be isomorphic to a Hilbert space? I have a (possibly false) recollection that this is true but don't see a proof. |

A Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma for finite fields? How can scaling help? $\{1,2,\dots, N\}$ embeds isometrically into $F_2^N$, while in $F_2^n$ there are only $n$ distances. Every finite subset of $L_1$ embeds into $F_1^N$ with arbitrarily small distortion (allowing scaling, of course) if $N$ is sufficiently large, so you are asking more than having $m$ element subsets of $L_1$ embed into $\ell_1^n$ with $n$ small relative to $m$. Here there are negative results due to Brinkman-Charikar (simplified by Lee-Naor and further simplified by Schechtman and me). Only recently was it proved that $m$ element subsets of $L_1$ embed... |

Inductive limit of C*-algebras with injective connecting maps No, for trivial reasons. Take a strictly increasing sequence $K_n$ of cardinal numbers and consider $A_n=c_0(K_{2n-1})$, $B_n=c_0(K_{2n})$. |

Sz.-Nagy dilation for uniformly convex Banach spaces The point is that, modulo abstract nonsense, for spaces that possess the approximation property, all the difficulty is in the finite dimensional version of the problem. BTW, I doubt this has a positive answer even in the setting of $L_p$ spaces. |

Sz.-Nagy dilation for uniformly convex Banach spaces If you can prove it for all finite dimensional spaces with a given common modulus of uniform convexity with the dilation spaces all having a (possibly different) common modulus of uniform convexity, then you get the same result for all spaces that have the approximation property and have that given common modulus of uniform convexity. This follows from a standard Banach space ultraproduct argument (basically the same one I used to extend the finite dimensional Akcoglu-Sucheston theorem, which they already knew, to the infinite dimensional setting).... |

Extension of power bounded operators over a finite subspace In general you cannot do better than the projection constant of $\ell_p^n$, which is of order $n^{1/p}$ when $p \ge 2$ and $n^{1/2}$ otherwise. To see that, look at $Y= \ell_p^n \oplus_p C(K)$ and take an isometric copy $E$ of $\ell_p^n$ in $C(K)$. On $\ell_p^n \oplus_p E$ let $T$ be an isometry that maps $\{0\} \oplus E$ to $\ell_p^n \oplus \{0\}$ and $\ell_p^n \oplus \{0\}$ to $\{0\} \oplus E$. |

Finite codimensional subspaces of L(X,Y) So if $X$ does not have a subspace isomorphic to $\ell_1$ and $Y = \Bbb{R}$, then it is true (because then each functional in $X^{**}$ is a pointwise limit of elements in $X$ by the Odell-Rosenthal theorem). What else do you know about the question, Kevin? |

Finite codimensional subspaces of L(X,Y) There is something wrong with your final paragraph, Kevin. A normed closed subspace of $X^*$ need not be weak$^*$ closed--consider the kernel of a functional in $X^{**}\sim X$. |
