It is shown how to construct, given a Banach space which does not have the approximation property, another Banach space which does not have the approximation property but which does have the compact approximation property.
Two new Banach space moduli, that involve weak convergent sequences, are introduced. It is shown that if either one of these moduli are strictly less than 1 then the Banach space has Property($K$)
We prove that a Banach space $E$ has the compact range property (CRP) if and only if for any given $C^*$-algebra $\cal A$, every absolutely summing operator from $\cal A$ into $E$ is compact.
In this short note we give a proof of the refined version of the uniform invariant approximation property for compact (non-commutative) groups following the Bourgain's approach.
We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for numerical radius restricted to the case of compact operators (BPBp-nu for compact operators in short). We show that $C_0(L)$ spaces have the BPBp-nu for compact operators for every Hausdorff topological locally compact space $L$. To this end, on the one hand, we provide some techniques allowing to pass the BPBp-nu for compact operators from subspaces to the whole space and, on the other hand, we prove some strong approximation property of $C_0(L)$ spaces and their duals. Besides, we also show that real Hilbert spaces and isometric preduals of $\…
We present a characterization of the continuous increasing surjections $ϕ:K\to L$ between compact lines $K$ and $L$ for which the corresponding subalgebra $ϕ^*C(L)$ has the $c_0$-extension property in $C(K)$. A natural question arising in connection with this characterization is shown to be independent of the axioms of ZFC.
Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $C$ be a closed convex bounded subset of $X$. It is proved that $C$ is weakly compact if, and only if, $C$ has the {it generic} fixed point property ($\mathcal{G}$-FPP) for the class of $L$-bi-Lipschitz affine mappings for every $L>1$. It is also proved that if $X$ has Pełczyński's property $(u)$, then either $C$ is weakly compact, contains an $\ell_1$-sequence or a $\mathrm{c}_0$-summing basic sequence. In this case, weak compactness of $C$ is equivalent to the $\mathcal{G}$-FPP for the strengthened class of affine mappings that are uniformly bi-Lipschitz. We…

We construct a Bourgain-Delbaen $\mathscr{L}_\infty$-space $\mathfrak{X}_{Kus}$ with strongly heterogenous structure: any bounded operator on $\mathfrak{X}_{Kus}$ is a compact perturbation of a multiple of the identity, whereas the space $\mathfrak{X}_{Kus}$ is saturated with unconditional basic sequences.
For a locally convex $^*$-algebra $A$ equipped with a fixed continuous $^*$-character $\varepsilon$, we define a cohomological property, called property $(FH)$, which is similar to character amenability. Let $C_c(G)$ be the space of continuous functions on a second countable locally compact group $G$ with compact supports, equipped with the convolution $^*$-algebra structure and a certain inductive topology. We show that $(C_c(G), \varepsilon_G)$ has property $(FH)$ if and only if $G$ has property $(T)$. On the other hand, many Banach algebras equipped with canonical characters have property $…
We prove that a closed convex subset of a Banach space is (super-)weakly compact if and only if it is (super)-ergodic. As a consequence we deduce that super weakly compact sets are characterized by the fixed point property for continuous affine mappings. We also prove that the M-(fixed point property for affine isometries) implies the Banach-Saks property.
A hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $\mathfrak{X}_{\mathfrak{nr}}$ is constructed that is the first known example of a $\mathscr{L}_\infty$-space not containing $c_0$, $\ell_1$, or reflexive subspaces and answers a question posed by J. Bourgain. Moreover, the space $\mathfrak{X}_{\mathfrak{nr}}$ satisfies the "scalar-plus-compact" property and it is the first known space without reflexive subspaces having this property. It is constructed using the Bourgain-Delbaen method in combination with a recent version of saturation under constraints in a mixed-Tsirelson setting. As a result, the s…
We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property (BPBp for short) for compact operators. We present some abstract techniques which allows to carry the BPBp for compact operators from sequence spaces to function spaces. As main applications, we prove the following results. Let $X$, $Y$ be Banach spaces. If $(c_0,Y)$ has the BPBp for compact operators, then so do $(C_0(L),Y)$ for every locally compact Hausdorff topological space $L$ and $(X,Y)$ whenever $X^*$ is isometrically isomorphic to $\ell_1$. If $X^*$ has the Radon-Nikodým property and $(\ell_1(X),Y)$ has the BPBp for compact operators, then …
We show that the space of bounded and linear operators between spaces of continuous functions on compact Hausdorff topological spaces has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property. A similar result is also proved for the class of compact operators from the space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity on a locally compact and Hausdorff topological space into a uniformly convex space, and for the class of compact operators from a Banach space into a predual of an $L_1$-space.
In this paper, we introduce the concept of a pseudo weakly compact operator of order $ p $ between Banach spaces. Also we study the notion of $ p $-Dunford-Pettis relatively compact property which is in "general" weaker than the Dunford-Pettis relatively compact property and gives some characterizations of Banach spaces which have this property. Moreover, by using the notion of $ p $-Right subsets of a dual Banach space, we study the concepts of $ p $-sequentially Right and weak $ p $-sequentially Right properties on Banach spaces. Furthermore, we obtain some suitable conditions on Banach spac…
In this article we prove that every isometric copy of C(L) in C(K) is complemented if L is compact Hausdorff of finite height and K is a compact Hausdorff space satisfying the extension property, i.e., every closed subset of K admits an extension operator. The space C(L) can be replaced by its subspace C(L|F) consisting of functions that vanish on a closed subset F of L. We also study the class of spaces having the extension property, establishing some closure results for this class and relating it to other classes of compact spaces.
Let $X$ be a Banach space and $μ$ a probability measure. A set $K \subseteq L^1(μ,X)$ is said to be a $δ\mathcal{S}$-set if it is uniformly integrable and for every $δ>0$ there is a weakly compact set $W \subseteq X$ such that $μ(f^{-1}(W)) \geq 1-δ$ for every $f\in K$. This is a sufficient, but in general non necessary, condition for relative weak compactness in $L^1(μ,X)$. We say that $X$ has property ($δ\mathcal{S}_μ$) if every relatively weakly compact subset of $L^1(μ,X)$ is a $δ\mathcal{S}$-set. In this paper we study $δ\mathcal{S}$-sets and Banach spaces having property ($δ\mathcal{S}_μ…
A Banach space $X$ has Pełczy\' nski's property (V) if for every Banach space $Y$ every unconditionally converging operator $T\colon X\to Y$ is weakly compact. In 1962, Aleksander Pełczy\' nski showed that $C(K)$ spaces for a compact Hausdorff space $K$ enjoy the property (V), and some generalizations of this theorem have been proved since then. We introduce several possibilities of quantifying the property (V). We prove some characterizations of the introduced quantitative versions of this property, which allow us to prove a quantitative version of Pelczynski's result about $C(K)$ spaces and …
For an operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we study the composition operator ideals ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, where $\mathcal K$ is the ideal of compact operators. We introduce a notion of an $\mathcal A$-approximation property on a Banach space and characterise it in terms of the density of finite rank operators in ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}$. We propose the notions of $\ell_{\infty}$-extension and $\ell_{1}$-lifting properties for an operator ideal $\mathcal A$ and st…
In this paper we study conditions on a Banach space X that ensure that the Banach algebra K(X) of compact operators is amenable. We give a symmetrized approximation property of X which is proved to be such a condition. This property is satisfied by a wide range of Banach spaces including all the classical spaces. We then investigate which constructions of new Banach spaces from old ones preserve the property of carrying amenable algebras of compact operators. Roughly speaking, dual spaces, predual spaces and certain tensor products do inherit this property and direct sums do not. For direct su…
The notion of $p$-compact sets arises naturally from Grothendieck's characterization of compact sets as those contained in the convex hull of a norm null sequence. The definition, due to Sinha and Karn (2002), leads to the concepts of $p$-approximation property and $p$-compact operators, which form a ideal with its ideal norm $κ_p$. This paper examines the interaction between the $p$-approximation property and the space of holomorphic functions. Here, the $p$-compact analytic functions play a crucial role. In order to understand this type of functions we define a $p$-compact radius of converge…
In the article we settle down the problem of permanence of property RD under group extensions. We show that if $1\to N\to G\to Q\to 1$ is a short exact sequence of compactly generated groups such that $Q$ has property RD, and $N$ has property RD with respect to the restriction of a word-length on $G$, then $G$ has property RD. We also generalize the result of Ji and Schweitzer stating that locally compact groups with property RD are unimodular. Namely, we show that any automorphism of a locally compact group with property RD which distorts distances subexponentially, preserves the Haar measure…
Let $G$ be a locally compact group and let $C^*(G)$ and $C^*_r(G)$ be the full group $C^*$-algebra and the reduced group $C^*$-algebra of $G$. We investigate the relationship between Property $(T)$ for $G$ and Property $(T)$ as well as its strong version for $C^*(G)$ and $C^*_r(G)$. We show that $G$ has Property $(T)$ if (and only if) $C^*(G)$ has Property $(T)$. In the case where $G$ is a locally compact IN-group, we prove that $G$ has Property $(T)$ if and only if $C^*_r(G)$ has strong Property $(T)$. We also show that $C^*_r(G)$ has strong Property $(T)$ for every non-amenable locally compa…
The question which led to the title of this note is the following: {\it If $X$ is a Banach space and $K$ is a compact subset of $X$, is it possible to find a compact, or even approximable, operator $v:X\to X$ such that $K\subset\ol{v(B_X)}$?} This question was first posed by P.G.Dixon [6] in connection with investigating the problem of the existence of approximate identities in certain operator algebras. We shall provide a couple of observations related to the above question and give in particular a negative answer in case of approximable operators. We shall also provide the first examples of …

We study $M$-ideals of compact operators by means of the property~$(M)$ introduced in \cite{Kal-M}. Our main result states for a separable Banach space $X$ that the space of compact operators on $X$ is an $M$-ideal in the space of bounded operators if (and only if) $X$ does not contain a copy of $\ell_{1}$, has the metric compact approximation property, and has property~$(M)$. The investigation of special versions of property~$(M)$ leads to results on almost isometric structure of some classes of Banach spaces. For instance, we give a simple necessary and sufficient condition for a Banach spac…
We use the notion of $\A$-compact sets, which are determined by a Banach operator ideal $\A$, to show that most classic results of certain approximation properties and several Banach operator ideals can be systematically studied under this framework. We say that a Banach space enjoys the $\A$-approximation property if the identity map is uniformly approximable on $\A$-compact sets by finite rank operators. The Grothendieck's classic approximation property is the $\K$-approximation property for $\K$ the ideal of compact operators and the $p$-approximation property is obtained as the $\mathcal N…
A locally compact group $G$ has the factorization property if the map $$C^*(G)\odot C^*(G)\ni a\otimes b\mapsto λ(a)ρ(b)\in\mathcal B(L^2(G))$$ is continuous with respect to the minimal C*-norm. This paper seeks to initiate a rigorous study of this property in the case of locally compact groups which, in contrast to the discrete case, has been relatively untouched. A partial solution to the question of when the factorization property passes to continuous embeddings is given -- a question which traces back to Kirchberg's seminal work on the topic and is known to be false in general. It is also …
Taking matrix as a synonym for a numerical function on the Cartesian product of two (in general, infinite) sets, a simple purely algebraic "reciprocity property" says that the set of rows spans a finite-dim space iff the set of columns does so. Similar topological reciprocity properties serve to define strongly compact and weakly compact matrices, featured in the well-known basic facts about almost periodic functions and about compact operators. Some properties, especially for the weak compact case, are investigated, such as the connection with the matrix having a Fubini-like property for gene…
It is known that for $σ$-compact groups Kazhdan's Property $(T)$ is equivalent to Serre's Property $(FH)$. Generalized versions of those properties, called properties $(T_{B})$ and $(F_{B})$, can be defined in terms of the isometric representations of a group on an arbitrary Banach space $B$. Property $(F_{B})$ implies $(T_{B})$. It is known that a group with Property $(T_{l_p})$ shares some properties with Kazhdan's groups, for example compact generation and compact abelianization. Moreover in the case of discrete groups, Property $(T_{l_p})$ implies Lubotzky's Property $(τ)$. In this paper w…
We prove that the Lipschitz free space over a certain type of discrete metric space has the Radon-Nikodým property. We also show that the Lipschitz free space over a complete, locally compact metric space has the Schur or approximation property whenever the Lipschitz free space over each compact subset also has this property.
In this short article, we obtained some equivalent formulations of property $T$ for a general locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, in terms of the full quantum group $C^*$-algebras $C_0^\mathrm{u}(\widehat{\mathbb{G}})$ and the $*$-representation of $C_0^\mathrm{u}(\widehat{\mathbb{G}})$ associated with the trivial unitary corepresentation (that generalize the corresponding results for locally compact groups). Moreover, if $\mathbb{G}$ is of Kac type, we show that $\mathbb{G}$ has property $T$ if and only if every finite dimensional irreducible $*$-representation of $C_0^\mathrm{u}(\wid…
The relationship between the operator approximation property and the strong operator approximation property has deep significance in the theory of operator algebras. The original definitions of Effros and Ruan, unlike the classical analogues, make no mention of compact operators or compact sets. In this paper we introduce ``compact matrix sets'' which correspond to the two different operator approximation properties, and show that a space has the operator approximation property if and only if the ``operator compact'' operators are contained in the closure of the finite rank operators. We also …
We discuss a set-valued generalization of strong proximinality in Banach spaces, introduced by J. Mach [Continuity properties of Chebyshev centers, J. Approx. Theory, 29(3):223--230, 1980] as property-$(P_1)$. We establish that if the closed unit ball of a closed subspace of a Banach space $X$ possesses property-$(P_1)$ for each of the classes of closed bounded, compact and finite subsets of $X$, then so does the subspace. It is also proved that the closed unit ball of an $M$-ideal in an $L_{1}$-predual space satisfies property-$(P_{1})$ for the compact subsets of the space. For a Choquet simp…
We introduce the strong Gelfand-Phillips property for locally convex spaces and give several characterizations of this property. We characterize the strong Gelfand-Phillips property among locally convex spaces admitting a stronger Banach space topology. If $C_{\mathcal T}(X)$ is a space of continuous functions on a Tychonoff space $X$, endowed with a locally convex topology $\mathcal T$ between the pointwise topology and the compact-open topology, then: (a) the space $C_{\mathcal T}(X)$ has the strong Gelfand-Phillips property iff $X$ contains a compact countable subspace $K\subseteq X$ of fin…
We prove a number of property (T) permanence results for locally compact quantum groups under exact sequences and the presence of invariant states, analogous to their classical versions. Along the way we characterize the existence of invariant weights on quantum homogeneous spaces of quotient type, and relate invariant states for LCQG actions on von Neumann algebras to invariant vectors in canonical unitary implementations, providing an application to amenability. Finally, we introduce a notion of lattice in a locally compact quantum group, noting examples provided by Drinfeld doubles of compa…
