Consider an operator $T: L^2 \mapsto L^2$ of the form $TA = g (h \ast A)$ where $g$ is and $h$ are bounded $C^\infty$ functions. This operator $T$ can be shown to be Hilbert-Schmidt, hence compact. T …

Let $C_c^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$ be the functions from $\mathbb R^n$ to $\mathbb R$ with compact support, further let $X$ be a separable Hilbert space with a fixed orthonormal basis $(e_n)_n$. Define the …

Let $J_1$ be the Bessel function of the first kind and let $H_1(x) = \frac{J_1(|x|)}{|x|}$ for $n = 1$. Define the operator $Tf(x) = (f * H_1)(x)$ from $L^2$ to $L^2$. Since the $H_1$-function is the …

James' theorem states that a Banach space $B$ is reflexive iff every bounded linear functional on $B$ attains its maximum on the closed unit ball in $B$. Now I wonder if I can drop the constraint tha …
