A well known application of Ramsey's Theorem to Banach Space Theory is the notion of a spreading model (e'_i) of a normalized basic sequence (x_i) in a Banach space X. We show how to generalize the construction to define a new creature (e_i), which we call an asymptotic model of X. Every spreading model of X is an asymptotic model of X and in most settings, such as if X is reflexive, every normalized block basis of an asymptotic model is itself an asymptotic model. We also show how to use the Hindman-Milliken Theorem--a strengthened form of Ramsey's Theorem--to generate asymptotic models with a stronger form of convergence.
A Hereditarily Indecomposable asymptotic $\ell_2$ Banach space is constructed. The existence of such a space answers a question of B. Maurey and verifies a conjecture of W.T. Gowers.
These notes concern the nonlinear geometry of Banach spaces, asymptotic uniform smoothness and several Banach-Saks-like properties. We study the existence of certain concentration inequalities in asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach spaces as well as weakly sequentially continuous coarse (Lipschitz) embeddings into those spaces. Some results concerning the descriptive set theoretical complexity of those properties are also obtained. We finish the paper with a list of open problem.
In this note, we extend to the setting of quasi-reflexive spaces a classical result of N. Kalton and L. Randrianarivony on the coarse Lipschitz structure of reflexive and asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach spaces. As an application, we show for instance, that for $1\le q<p$, a $q$-asymptotically uniformly convex Banach space does not coarse Lipschitz embed into a $p$-asymptotically uniformly smooth quasi-reflexive Banach space. This extends a recent result of B.M. Braga.
We present condition on higher order asymptotic behaviour of basic sequences in a Banach space ensuring the existence of bounded non-compact strictly singular operator on a subspace. We apply it in asymptotic $\ell_p$ spaces, $1\leq p<\infty$, in particular in convexified mixed Tsirelson spaces and related asymptotic $\ell_p$ HI spaces.
For $1<p\le \infty$, we show the existence of a Banach space which is both injectively and surjectively universal for the class of all separable Banach spaces with an equivalent $p$-asymptotically uniformly smooth norm. We prove that this class is analytic complete in the class of separable Banach spaces. These results extend previous works by Kalton, Werner and Kurka in the case $p=\infty$.
We give a quantitative result about asymptotic moduli of Banach spaces under coarse quotient maps. More precisely, we prove that if a Banach space $Y$ is a coarse quotient of a subset of a Banach space $X$, where the coarse quotient map is coarse Lipschitz, then the ($β$)-modulus of $X$ is bounded by the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $Y$ up to some constants. In particular, if the coarse quotient map is a coarse homeomorphism, then the modulus of asymptotic uniform convexity of $X$ is bounded by the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $Y$ up to some constants.
We introduce a flexible almost isometric version of the almost transitivity property of Banach spaces. With the help of this new notion we generalize to several directions a strong recent rotational characterization of Hilbert spaces due to Randrianantoanina. This characterization is a partial answer to the classical Banach-Mazur rotation problem.
Two examples of asymptotic $\ell_{1}$ Banach spaces are given. The first, $X_{u}$, has an unconditional basis and is arbitrarily distortable. The second, $X$, does not contain any unconditional basic sequence. Both are spaces of the type of Tsirelson. We thus answer a question raised by W.T.Gowers.
For $1<p\leqslant \infty$, we study the complexity and the existence of universal spaces for two classes of separable Banach spaces, denoted $\textsf{A}_p$ and $\textsf{N}_p$, and related to asymptotic smoothness in Banach spaces. We show that each of these classes is Borel in the class of separable Banach spaces. Then we build small families of Banach spaces that are both injectively and surjectively universal for these classes. Finally, we prove the optimality of this universality result, by proving in particular that none of these classes admits a universal space.
In this paper, a strong convergence theorem for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex and smooth Banach space is proved by using metric projections. This theorem extends and improves the recent strong convergence theorem due to Matsushita and Takahashi [ Appl. Math. Comput. 196 (2008) 422-425] which was established for nonexpansive mappings.
In this work, a new concept of nonself total asymptotically nonexpansive mapping is introduced and an iterative process is considered for two nonself totally asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. Weak and strong convergence theorems for computing common fixed points of two nonself total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings are established in the framework of Banach spaces. Finally, we give an example which show that our theorems are applicable.
In this paper, we study the coarse Lipschitz geometry of Banach spaces with several asymptotic properties. Specifically, we look at asymptotically uniformly smoothness and convexity, and several distinct Banach-Saks-like properties. Among other results, we characterize the Banach spaces which are either coarsely or uniformly homeomorphic to $T^{p_1}\oplus \ldots \oplus T^{p_n}$, where each $T^{p_j}$ denotes the $p_j$-convexification of the Tsirelson space, for $p_1,\ldots,p_n\in (1,\ldots, \infty)$, and $2\not\in\{p_1,\ldots ,p_n\}$. We obtain applications to the coarse Lipschitz geometry of t…
In this paper, we present some common fixed point theorems for a commuting pair of mappings, including a generalized nonexpansive single valued mapping and a generalized nonexpansive multivalued mapping in strictly convex Banach spaces. The results obtained in this paper extend and improve some recent known results.
We provide a short characterization of $p$-asymptotic uniform smoothability and asymptotic uniform flatenability of operators and of Banach spaces. We use these characterizations to show that many asymptotic uniform smoothness properties pass to injective tensor products of operators and of Banach spaces. In particular, we prove that the injective tensor product of two asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach spaces is asymptotically uniformly smooth. We prove that for $1<p<\infty$, the class of $p$-asymptotically uniformly smoothable operators can be endowed with an ideal norm making this class…
In this paper structure of infinite dimensional Banach spaces is studied by using an asymptotic approach based on stabilization at infinity of finite dimensional subspaces which appear everywhere far away. This leads to notions of asymptotic structures and asymptotic versions of a given Banach space. As an example of application of this approach, a class of asymptotic $l_p$-spaces is introduced and investigated in detail. Some properties of this class, as duality and complementation, are analogous to properties of classical $l_p$ spaces, although the latter is more ``regular'' than its classic…
Every new inner product in a Hilbert space is obtained from the original one by means of a unique positive operator$.$ The first part of the paper is a survey on applications of such a technique, including a characterization of similarity to isometries$.$ The second part focuses on Banach limits for dealing with power bounded operators. It is shown that if a power bounded operator for which the sequence of shifted Cesàro means converges (at least in the weak topology) uniformly in the shift parameter, then it has a Cesàro asymptotic limit coinciding with its $φ$-asymptotic limit for all Banach…
We introduce the notion of an asymptotically equicontinuous sequence of linear operators, and use it to prove the following result. If $X,Y$ are topological vector spaces, if $T_n,T:X\to Y$ are continuous linear maps, and if $D$ is a dense subset of $X$, then the following statements are equivalent: (i) $T_nx\to Tx$ for all $x\in X$, and (ii) $T_n x\to Tx$ for all $x\in D$ and the sequence $(T_n)$ is asymptotically equicontinuous.
Let $(e_i)_i$ denote the unit vector basis of $\ell_p$, $1\leq p< \infty$, or $c_0$. We construct a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis that admits $(e_i)_i$ as a uniformly unique spreading model while it has no subspace with a unique asymptotic model, and hence it has no asymptotic-$\ell_p$ or $c_0$ subspace. This solves a problem of E. Odell. We also construct a space with a unique $\ell_1$ spreading model and no subspace with a uniformly unique $\ell_1$ spreading model. These results are achieved with the utilization of a new version of the method of saturation under constrai…
It is shown that a separable Banach space $X$ can be given an equivalent norm $|\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|$ with the following properties:\quad If $(x_n)\subseteq X$ is relatively weakly compact and $\lim_{m\to\infty} \lim_{n\to\infty}\break |\!|\!| x_m + x_n |\!|\!| = 2\lim_{m\to\infty} |\!|\!| x_m|\!|\!|$ then $(x_n)$ converges in norm. This yields a characterization of reflexivity once proposed by V.D.~Milman. In addition it is shown that some spreading model of a sequence in $(X, |\!|\!|\cdot |\!|\!|)$ is 1-equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_1$ (respectively, $c_0$) implies that $X$ con…
According to the von Neumann-Halperin and Lapidus theorems, in a Hilbert space the iterates of products or, respectively, of convex combinations of orthoprojections are strongly convergent. We extend these results to the iterates of convex combinations of products of some projections in a complex Banach space. The latter is assumed uniformly convex or uniformly smooth for the orthoprojections, or reflexive for more special projections, in particular, for the hermitian ones. In all cases the proof of convergence is based on a known criterion in terms of the boundary spectrum.
We have derived that on certain Banach spaces having a graph structure $G$, the iterations for asymptotically $G$-nonexpansive map will converge weakly towards a fixed point. This result unifies and extends several theorems on fixed points proved by various authors for class of nonexpansive and asymptotically nonexpansive maps. As an application of this result, we derive that for maps satisfying the nonexpansive condition locally on special Banach spaces, the successive approximations converge weakly towards a fixed point.
For $1\le p <\infty$, we present a reflexive Banach space $\mathfrak{X}^{(p)}_{\text{awi}}$, with an unconditional basis, that admits $\ell_p$ as a unique asymptotic model and does not contain any Asymptotic $\ell_p$ subspaces. D. Freeman, E. Odell, B. Sari and B. Zheng have shown that whenever a Banach space not containing $\ell_1$, in particular a reflexive Banach space, admits $c_0$ as a unique asymptotic model then it is Asymptotic $c_0$. These results provide a complete answer to a problem posed by L. Halbeisen and E. Odell and also complete a line of inquiry of the relation between speci…
We define and study asymptotically symmetric Banach spaces (a.s.) and its variations: weakly a.s. (w.a.s.) and weakly normalized a.s. (w.n.a.s.). If X is a.s. then all spreading models of X are uniformly symmetric. We show that the converse fails. We also show that w.a.s. and w.n.a.s. are not equivalent properties and that Schlumprecht's space S fails to be w.n.a.s. We show that if X is separable and has the property that every normalized weakly null sequence in X has a subsequence equivalent to the unit vector basis of c_0 then X is w.a.s.. We obtain an analogous result if c_0 is replaced by …
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of an asymptotically almost periodic ultradistribution and asymptotically almost automorphic ultradistribution with values in a Banach space, as well as to further analyze the classes of asymptotically almost periodic and asymptotically almost automorphic distributions with values in a Banach space. We provide some applications of the introduced concepts in the analysis of systems of ordinary differential equations.
The new class of Banach spaces, so-called asymptotic $l_p$ spaces, is introduced and it is shown that every Banach space with bounded distortions contains a subspace from this class. The proof is based on an investigation of certain functions, called enveloping functions, which are intimately connected with stabilization properties of the norm.
We give a criterion ensuring that the elementary class of a modular Banach space E (that is, the class of Banach spaces, some ultrapower of which is linearly isometric to an ultrapower of E) consists of all direct sums E\oplus_m H, where H is an arbitrary Hilbert space and \oplus_m denotes the modular direct sum. Also, we give several families of examples in the class of Nakano direct sums of finite dimensional normed spaces that satisfy this criterion. This yields many new examples of uncountably categorical Banach spaces, in the model theory of Banach space structures.
For each ordinal $ξ$ and each $1<p<\infty$, we offer a natural, ismorphic characterization of those spaces and operators which admit an equivalent $ξ$-$p$-asymptotically uniformly smooth norm. We also introduce the notion of $ξ$-asymptotically uniformly flat norms and provide an isomorphic characterization of those spaces and operators which admit an equivalent $ξ$-asymptotically uniformly flat norm. Given a compact, Hausdorff space $K$, we prove an optimal renormong theorem regarding the $ξ$-asymptotic smoothness of $C(K)$ in terms of the Cantor-Bendixson index of $K$. We also prove that for …
We study the 'no-dimension' analogue of Carath{é}odory's theorem in Banach spaces. We prove such a result together with its colorful version for uniformly smooth Banach spaces. It follows that uniform smoothness leads to a greedy de-randomization of Maurey's classical lemma \cite{pisier1980remarques}, which is itself a 'no-dimension' analogue of Carath{é}odory's theorem with a probabilistic proof. We find the asymptotically tight upper bound on the deviation of the convex hull from the $k$-convex hull of a bounded set in $L_p$ with $1 < p \leq 2$ and get asymptotically the same bound as in Mau…
It is known that Dobrushin's ergodicity coefficient is one of the effective tools in the investigations of limiting behavior of Markov processes. Several interesting properties of the ergodicity coefficient of a positive mapping defined on ordered Banach space with a base have been studied. In this paper, we consider uniformly mean ergodic and asymptotically stable Markov operators on ordered Banach spaces. In terms of the ergodicity coefficient, we prove uniform mean ergodicity criterion in terms of the ergodicity coefficient. Moreover, we develop the perturbation theory for uniformly asympto…
Recently, Lima and Randrianarivony pointed out the role of the property $(β)$ of Rolewicz in nonlinear quotient problems, and answered a ten-year-old question of Bates, Johnson, Lindenstrauss, Preiss and Schechtman. In the present paper, we prove that the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of the range space of a uniform quotient map can be compared with the modulus of $(β)$ of the domain space. We also provide conditions under which this comparison can be improved.
We study four asymptotic smoothness properties of Banach spaces, denoted $\textsf{T}_p,\textsf{A}_p, \textsf{N}_p$ and $\textsf{P}_p$. We complete their description by proving the missing renorming theorem for $\textsf{A}_p$. We prove that asymptotic uniform flattenability (property $\textsf{T}_\infty$) and summable Szlenk index (property $\textsf{A}_\infty$) are three space properties. Combined with the positive results of the first named author, Draga, and Kochanek, and with the counterexamples we provide, this completely solves the three space problem for this family of properties. We also …
We study spaces with directionally asymptotically controlled ellipsoids approximating the unit ball in finite-dimensions. These ellipsoids are the unique minimum volume ellipsoids, which contain the unit ball of the corresponding finite-dimensional subspace. The directional control here means that we evaluate the ellipsoids with a given functional of the dual space. The term asymptotical refers to the fact that we take '$\limsup$' over finite-dimensional subspaces. This leads to some isomorphic and isometric characterizations of Hilbert spaces. An application involving Mazur's rotation problem…
We study the asymptotics of strongly continuous operator semigroups defined on locally convex spaces in order to develop a stability theory for solutions of evolution equations beyond Banach spaces. In the classical case, there is only little choice for a semigroup's speed in approaching zero uniformly. Indeed, if a strongly continuous semigroup on a Banach space converges to zero uniformly at any speed then it converges already uniformly at exponential speed. Semigroups with this property are said to be exponentially stable. Leaving the Banach space setting, the situation changes entirely; fo…
A. Szankowski's example is used to construct a Banach space similar to that of "An example of an asymptotically Hilbertian space which fails the approximation property", P.G. Casazza, C.L. Garc\'ıa, W.B. Johnson [math.FA/0006134 (math@arXiv.org)].
Following Davie's example of a Banach space failing the approximation property [D], we show how to construct a Banach space E which is asymptotically Hilbertian and fails the approximation property. Moreover, the space E is shown to be a subspace of a space with an unconditional basis which is ``almost'' a weak Hilbert space and which can be written as the direct sum of two subspaces all of whose subspaces have the approximation property.
The notion of retro Banach frame with the help of b-linear functional in n-Banach spaces is being presented. Some properties related to the construction of new retro Banach frame in n-Banach space have been studied. In n-Banach spaces, some perturbation results of retro Banach frame have been discussed. Finally, we give a condition in which finite sum of retro Banach frames is a retro Banach frame in n-Banach space.
We prove that the spaces $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty, p\ne 2$, and all infinite-dimensional subspaces of their quotient spaces do not admit equivalent almost transitive renormings. This is a step towards the solution of the Banach-Mazur rotation problem, which asks whether a separable Banach space with a transitive norm has to be isometric or isomorphic to a Hilbert space. We obtain this as a consequence of a new property of almost transitive spaces with a Schauder basis, namely we prove that in such spaces the unit vector basis of $\ell_2^2$ belongs to the two-dimensional asymptotic structure and w…
A recent result of Freeman, Odell, Sari, and Zheng states that whenever a separable Banach space not containing $\ell_1$ has the property that all asymptotic models generated by weakly null sequences are equivalent to the unit vector basis of $c_0$ then the space is Asymptotic $c_0$. We show that if we replace $c_0$ with $\ell_1$ then this result is no longer true. Moreover, a stronger result of B. Maurey - H. P. Rosenthal type is presented, namely, there exists a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis admitting $\ell_1$ as a unique asymptotic model whereas any subsequence of the b…
In this paper we first take a detail survey of the study of the Banach-Saks property of Banach spaces and then show the Banach-Saks property of the product spaces generated by a finite number of Banach spaces having the Banach-Saks property. A more general inequality for integrals of a class of composite functions is also given by using this property.
We present a new proof of Zippin's Embedding Theorem, that every separable reflexive Banach space embeds into one with shrinking and boundedly complete basis, and every Banach space with a separable dual embeds into one with a shrinking basis. This new proof leads to improved versions of other embedding results.
Within the class of reflexive Banach spaces, we prove a metric characterization of the class of asymptotic-$c_0$ spaces in terms of a bi-Lipschitz invariant which involves metrics that generalize the Hamming metric on $k$-subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. We apply this characterization to show that the class of separable, reflexive, and asymptotic-$c_0$ Banach spaces is non-Borel co-analytic. Finally, we introduce a relaxation of the asymptotic-$c_0$ property, called the asymptotic-subsequential-$c_0$ property, which is a partial obstruction to the equi-coarse embeddability of the sequence of Hamming g…
We obtain Lebesgue-type inequalities for the greedy algorithm for arbitrary complete seminormalized biorthogonal systems in Banach spaces. The bounds are given only in terms of the upper democracy functions of the basis and its dual. We also show that these estimates are equivalent to embeddings between the given Banach space and certain discrete weighted Lorentz spaces. Finally, the asymptotic optimality of these inequalities is illustrated in various examples of non necessarily quasi-greedy bases.
It is shown that if a Banach space X has the weak Banach-Saks property and the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and Y satisfies property asymptotic (P) (which is weaker than the condition WCS(Y)>1), then the direct sum of X and Y endowed with a strictly monotone norm enjoys the weak fixed point property. The same conclusion is valid if X admits a 1-unconditional basis.
The free Banach lattice over a Banach space is introduced and analyzed. This generalizes the concept of free Banach lattice over a set of generators, and allows us to study the Nakano property and the density character of non-degenerate intervals on these spaces, answering some recent questions of B. de Pagter and A.W. Wickstead. Moreover, an example of a Banach lattice which is weakly compactly generated as a lattice but not as a Banach space is exhibited, thus answering a question of J. Diestel.
Our aim in this paper is to present a new type of the modular space. This space contains the classical modular space. There are some mappings that do not have contractive condition in the usual modular space but become contraction in this new space.
We introduce asymptotic analogues of the Rademacher and martingale type and cotype of Banach spaces and operators acting on them. Some classical local theory results related, for example, to the `automatic-type' phenomenon, the type-cotype duality, or the Maurey-Pisier theorem, are extended to the asymptotic setting. We also investigate operator ideals corresponding to the asymptotic subtype/subcotype. As an application of this theory, we provide a sharp version of a result of Brooker and Lancien by showing that any twisted sum of Banach spaces with Szlenk power types $p$ and $q$ has Szlenk po…
In the first part of the paper we study the structure of Banach spaces with a conditional spreading basis. The geometry of such spaces exhibit a striking resemblance to the geometry of James' space. Further, we show that the averaging projections onto subspaces spanned by constant coefficient blocks with no gaps between supports are bounded. As a consequence, every Banach space with a spreading basis contains a complemented subspace with an unconditional basis. This gives an affirmative answer to a question of H. Rosenthal. The second part contains two results on Banach spaces $X$ whose asympt…
EP Banach space operators and EP Banach algebra elements are characterized using different kinds of factorizations. The results obtained generalize well-known characterizations of EP matrices, EP Hilbert space operators and EP $C^*$-algebra elements. Furthermore, new results that hold in these contexts are presented.
We analyze a proof of Bruck to obtain an explicit rate of asymptotic regularity for Cesàro means in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our rate will only depend on a norm bound and a modulus $η$ of uniform convexity. One ingredient for the proof by Bruck is a result of Pisier, which shows that every uniformly convex (in fact every uniformly nonsquare) Banach space has some Rademacher type $q>1$ with a suitable constant $C_q$. We explicitly determine $q$ and $C_q$, which only depend on the single value $η(1)$ of our modulus. Beyond these specific results, we summarize how work of Bruck has inspire…
Several characterizations of EP and normal Moore-Penrose invertible Banach algebra elements will be considered. The Banach space operator case will be also studied. The results of the present article will extend well known facts obtained in the frames of matrices and Hilbert space operators.
We refine Amitsur's theory of radicals in complete lattices and apply the obtained results to the theory of radicals in the lattices of subspaces of Banach spaces and in the lattices of ideals of Banach and C*-algebras and of Banach Lie algebras.
