Explicit element of $(\ell^{\infty})^* - \ell^1$? [duplicate]
Possible Duplicate:
What’s an example of a space that needs the Hahn-Banach Theorem?
It is well known that the dual of $\ell^{\infty}$ properly contains $\ell^1$ (over $\mathbb{N}$, say). ...

Radii and centers in Banach spaces
Suppose I have a Banach space $V$ and a set $A \subseteq V$ such that for all $\epsilon > 0$ there exists $v$ such that $A \subseteq \overline{B}(v, r + \epsilon)$. Does there exist $c$ such that $...

Generating cones having no surjections [in operator spaces]
Is this little toy known ?
Let $E$ be some Banach space, and let $K$ be the closed unit ball
of its dual, endowed with the weak-star topology. Also, let $j:E$ $\rightarrow$ $C(K)$
be the natural ...

Convergence of operators to the identity on Banach spaces
Let $U_\infty$ be a compact space, and let $U_r$ be an increasing family of compact subspaces whose closure is all of $U_\infty$. That is, $U_r \subseteq U_{r'}$ if $r \le r'$ and $U_\infty = \...

A proof about an unconditional basis theorem
Hello everyone. I'm in a little trouble trying to find the proof of a theorem stated by W. T. Gowers. It is the Lemma 1.6 in his article 'An infinite Ramsey theorem and some Banach space dichotomies' (...

Show a linear operator is not compact
For $f\in L^2(0,\infty),$ define $(Tf)(x)=x^{-1}\int_0^x f(s)ds,$ for $x\in(0,\infty),$ then from hardy's inequality, $T\in B(L^2),$ my question is how to show that $T$ is not compact?

Info about Elton–Odell theorem
Hello everyone, could anyone please tell me where can I find information about the Elton–Odell theorem?
It states:
For any infinite dimensional Banach space $X$ there is a $q > 1$ so that $X$ ...

What is the tensor product of $L^p(\bf R)$ with $L^q(\bf R)$?
I'm wondering: What is the tensor product of $L^p({\bf R})$ with $L^q({\bf R})$?
(For p=q=2, the answer clearly should be $L^2({\bf R}^2)$; for other values of $p$ and $q$, it is not at all obvious ...

Embeddings of Weighted Banach Spaces
Let be $d$ a positive integer, $\Omega=\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ and fix $R\geq 2$. We define weighted Banach spaces
$$ \Omega_p:=\left\{ x\in \Omega\left| \left[\sum_{i\in\mathbb{Z}^d}\frac{|x_i|^...

Nonlinear Nuclear Operators ?
Is there a "right" definition of the nuclear
operator in the nonlinear framework ? Of course, such an operator
must be compact, while a linear operator should be "nonlinearly"
nuclear iff it is ...

Finite Rank Commutators
My former student Detelin Dosev and I are interested in classifying the commutators in $L(X)$, the bounded linear operators on the Banach space $X$ (see our joint paper on my home page or the ArXiv ...

Yet more on distortion
I would like to elaborate a little bit on my previous question which can be found
here.
Firstly, let me recall that a separable Banach space $(X, \| \cdot \|)$ is said to be
arbitrarily distortable ...

What are the right categories of finite-dimensional Banach spaces?
This is inspired partly by this question, especially Tom Leinster's answer.
Let me start with some background. I apologize that this will be rather long, since I'm hoping for input from people who ...

Topological "Interpolation" ?
Let E be a normed space, and let $T$:E * $\rightarrow$ E * be
a nonlinear operator.
Suppose that :
1) $T$ is continuous from (E *, ||.||) to itself (i.e., it is norm-continuous).
and
2) $T$ is ...

Which Banach spaces have categorical duals?
I was looking carefully at all the definitions, trying to understand exactly what was going on in this question on categorical duals in Banach spaces. It seems that in the category of Banach spaces ...

Continuous automorphism groups of normed vector spaces?
Consider the metric space on, say, ℝ2 induced by the various $L^p$ norms, and the group of isometries from that space into itself that preserve the origin. When $p=2$ I get the continuous group ...

Asymptotic non-distortion of the separable Hilbert space
By the work of E. Odell and Th. Schlumprecht, we know that the
separable Hilbert space $\ell_2$ is arbitrarily distortable. But
I don't know if an "asymptotic" version of their result is true.
To ...

Closed, complemented subspaces of $l^1(X)$ when $X$ is uncountable

Can we distinguish the algebraic and continuous duals of a Banach space without choice (or HBT)?
The algebraic dual of a normed vector space is the space of all linear functionals to the ground field (either $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ for this question). The continuous dual is the subspace of ...

opposite Banach space
I heard this from Haskell Rosenthal many years ago.
If V is a complex vector space, say the opposite of V is the complex vector space with the same elements, the same operations except switch scalar ...
