tr(ab)=tr(ba), part 2.

This is a Banach space version of Andre Henriques' question Trace Question for Hilbert spaces. Let $a:X\to Y$ and $b:Y\to X$ be bounded linear operators between Banach spaces s.t. $ba$ and $ab$ ...

Is the space of Hankel operators complemented in B(H)?

Let $H$ be $\ell^2({\mathbb N})$ and let $S:H\to H$ be the unilateral forward shift, so that $S^*S=I\neq SS^*$. Then a bounded operator $T:H\to H$ is Hankel if and only if it satisfies $TS=S^*T$. Let ...

Does the generator of a 1-parameter group of Banach space isometries know which elements are entire?

Let $X$ be a complex Banach space. Let $(\sigma_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$ be a 1-parameter group of linear isometries of $X$ which is strongly continuous i.e. $t \mapsto \sigma_t(x)$ is continuous for ...

If the cardinality of $B(X)$, the space of operators on $X$, is continuum, must $X$ be separable?

Does there exits any non-separable Banach space $X$ such that the size (cardinal number) of $B(X)$, bdd linear operators on $X$, is just of the continuum?

An equivalent condition for separability of $X^*$

Let $X$ be a Banach space. By the weak operator topology on $B(X)$, we mean the locally convex topology implemented by the following semi-norms: $$B(X)\to[0,\infty) : T\to|\langle Tx,x^*\rangle|$$ ...

Are nuclear operators closed under extensions?

Given $X_i, Y_i$ Banach spaces, $f_j, g_j, T_i$ bounded linear operators for $i=1,2,3$ and $j=1,2$. We have the following diagram $\require{AMScd}$ \begin{CD} 0 @>>> X_1 @>f_1>> X_2 ...

Non-empty resolvent set, then operator closed?

On Hilbert spaces, the following is true: Let $T$ be a densely-defined linear operator with non-empty resolvent set, then $T$ is closed. The obvious proof I see to show this uses explicitly the ...

The Bochner integral about a semigroup of bounded linear operators on a Banach space

Let $T(t)$ be a semigroup of bounded linear operators on a Banach space $X$. When does the following hold $$ \int_0^t T(s)x ds = \Big(\int_0^t T(s) ds\Big)x, \quad x \in X \, , $$ where $ t \in (0,1)$?...

Reference request: Baire's theorem for operator ranges

Let $F$ be a Banach space. A vector subspace $U \subseteq F$ is called an operator range if there exists a Banach space $E$ and a bounded linear mapping $T: E \to F$ such that $TE=U$. By a quotient ...

Is $I-S$ in my attempt of Fredholm alternative injective?

Let $E$ be a Banach space. Let $\mathcal K(E)$ be the space of all compact (bounded linear) operators from $E$ to $E$. For a linear map $T$, we denote by $R(T)$ its range and by $N(T)$ its kernel. Let ...

Approximation Property: Characterization

Problem Given a Banach space $E$. Denote compact sets by $\mathcal{C}$, compact operators by $\mathcal{C}(X,Y)$, and finite rank operators by $\mathcal{F}(X,Y)$. Suppose it has the approximation ...

Minimal norm problem with linear combination of translation operator to be estimated

Follow up question from this one Suppose $X = L^2(G)$, where $G$ is some locally compact group. Let $x, y \in G$ I for fixed $n$ I am seeking for an operator $H \in B(X)$ of the form $$ H = H(\alpha_1,...
