Is $H^\infty$ a second dual space?

If you only require isomorphism in the sense of an invertible, continuous linear bijection, then the answer is yes. If you require isometric linear isomorphism, the answer is no (because the unique is …

Is $L(\ell_2,\ell_2)$ dense in $L(\ell_2,c_0)$?

Choose finite sets $A_n\subset{\bf N}$ with $\max(A_n)<\min(A_{n+1})$, and then define $T:c_{00}\to c_0$ by $T(e_n)=\chi_{A_n}$. It is easy to check that $T$ extends to a norm 1 linear map $\ell^2\to …

A proof about an unconditional basis theorem

I'm not a Banach-space specialist, and don't have a copy of Lindenstrauss-Tzafriri to hand (though maybe the Albiac-Kalton book would be a friendlier read, if your library has a copy?) but it seems to …

Convergence of operators to the identity on Banach spaces

Contrary to my original muddled guess, the answer is no: the problem is that your `extension operators' don't give enough control over what happens in the gap between $U_\infty$ and $U_r$. For a conc …

opposite Banach space

Does this paper of Kalton do the trick? (disclaimer: I haven't read through the details)

Question about a characterization of Grothendieck spaces

(Posting this comment as an answer, just so the question doesn't still show up as "unanswered".) Your first claim is not justified (as you yourself suspected). If $T:X\to Y$ has separable range, th …

Complemented subspace constructed from finite pieces

No. Take $X=\ell_\infty({\bf N})$ and take $E_n = \operatorname{span}(e_1,\dots, e_n)$. Then $Y=c_0({\bf N})$ which is well-known – by a non-trivial argument – to be uncomplemented in $X$ (in the sens …

Preannihilators of subspaces of separable duals

The answer to Q2 is negative. One way to see this (which might not be the first, and might not be the easiest) is to combine the following results. A separable dual (Banach) space has the Radon-Niko …

Banach spaces with few linear operators ?

Examples were constructed (about two years ago?) by Argyros and Haydon. See this blog post for some non-technical discussion. It seems worth noting, as one is almost obliged to, that the space origina …

The first counterexample that comes to my mind, which is probably overkill (memory is easier than thought!) is J. Bourgain, A counterexample to a complementation problem. Compositio Mathematica, Volu …

Which Banach spaces have categorical duals?

My internet access at the moment is limited & sluggish, so I haven't been able to look up all the details; but I think your reasoning is correct. Certainly my impression is that duals in the sense bel …

Embeddings of Weighted Banach Spaces

This is a special case of a much more general phenomenon, so I'm writing an answer which deliberately takes a slightly high-level functional-analytic POV; I think (personally) that this makes it easie …

Extension of weakly compact operators from $\ell_1$ into $c_0$

Edit: it seems that I probably misunderstood the question, see Bill Johnson's comments below. No. The identity map factors through $\ell^2$, so it is weakly compact (no doubt one can also see that …

In a different direction from Yves Cornulier's suggestion: how about something based on Cauchy kernels as elements of Hardy space? I'm writing this off the top of my head so I might not be taking the …

Reference request: $\alpha$-Hölder spaces as double duals

First of all, I am not sure what you mean by $L^\infty(X)$ for a general complete metric space $X$. Don't you want $C_b(X)$? Secondly: when $X$ is compact and $0<\alpha<1$, the result you want is The …
