Let $K$ and $L$ be compact Hausdorff spaces, let $f:K\times L\to [0,1]$ be continuous and let $\varepsilon>0$. Can we find continuous $g_{1},...,g_{n}:K\to[0,+\infty)$ and $h_{1},...,h_{n}:L\to[0,+\in …

Let $K$ be a Hausdorff compact space and let $C(K)$ be the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$. A sequence $(h_n)$ in $C(K)$ is called almost disjoint if there is a sequence $(g_n)$ with …

I think I've found a counterexample in the literature. I would really appreciate if somebody verified that I didn't get confused about the terminology of Orlicz spaces. Recall that a Banach space $E$ …

Let $E$ be a Banach space, let $e_{n}\in E$ and $g_{n}\in E^{*}$ be biorthogonal basic sequences (i.e. $\left<e_n,g_m\right>=\delta_{mn}$ ). Moreover, both of these sequences are weakly null. (note th …

Let $X$, $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ be a compact Hausdorff spaces and let $\varphi_i:X\to Y_i$ be a continuous surjection (and so a quotient map). Let $\sim$ be the minimal closed equivalence relation on $X$ tha …

This answer is supplementary to the one of Bill Johnson, to fill in some details. A sequence $\{e_n\}$ in a Banach space $E$ is called a basic sequence of type P* if (among other equivalent definitio …

Let $E$ be a Banach space. Let $F$ be the collection of all $f\in E^*$ such that $\left<f,e_n\right>\to 0$, for every normalized basic sequence $\{e_n\}$. It is easy to see that $F$ is a closed subspa …

Recall that a Hausdorf topological space $X$ is called compactly generated if any set whose intersections with compacts are compact is closed. Locally compact and first countable spaces are compactly …

The title says it all: Let $E$ be a Banach lattice, which is isomorphic to a Hilbert space (as normed spaces). Is there an equivalent Hilbert norm on $E$, which still makes it a Banach lattice with r …

Let $E$ be a Banach space. Recall that the collection of all closed linear subspaces of $E$ can be turned into a metric space in a number of ways. In particular, consider the notion of a gap: if $G$ a …

Let $X$ be a Tychonoff topological space and let $x\in X$. Let $B\subset C(X)$ be convex and compact in the topology of pointwise convergence, and such that $f(x)=1$, for every $f\in B$. Is there an …

Jochen Wengenroth suggested to look at Carleson's interpolation theorem, and it seems like it completely answers my question. Namely, the following is true. Let $E$ be a subset of $D$. Then $H^\infty …

It is known that the space $H^{\infty}$ of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk $D$ is non-separable with respect to the supremum norm $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}^{D}$. Let $E\subset D$ be connected …

It is known that the only Banach space that satisfies the von-Neumann inequality is the Hilbert space: Theorem (see e.g. Pisier, "Similarity Problems and Completely Bounded Maps", p 27) For a Banach …

Let $E$ be a normed space and let $F\subset E^{*}$. It is known that $F$ is dense if and only if the restriction of $\sigma(E,F)$ on $B_E$ coincides with the weak topology. Hence, if $F$ is dense and …
