ABSTRACT: We show that if a rearrangement invariant Banach function space $E$ on the positive semi-axis satisfies a non-trivial lower $q-$ estimate with constant $1$ then the corresponding space $E(\nm)$ of $\tau-$measurable operators, affiliated with an arbitrary semi-finite von Neumann algebra $\nm$ equipped with a distinguished faithful, normal, semi-finite trace $\tau $, has the uniform Kadec-Klee property for the topology of local convergence in measure. In particular, the Lorentz function spaces $L_{q,p}$ and the Lorentz-Schatten classes ${\cal C}_{q,p}$ have the UKK property for convergence locally in measure and for the weak-operator topology, respectively. As a partial converse , we show that if $E$ has the UKK property with respect to local convergence in measure then $E$ must satisfy some non-trivial lower $q$-estimate. We also prove a uniform Kadec-Klee result for local convergence in any Banach lattice satisfying a lower $q$-estimate.

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the command send girardijohnsonccpfdd.atx to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract: A Banach space $\X$ has the complete continuity property (CCP) if each bounded linear operator from $L_1$ into $\X$ is completely continuous (i.e., maps weakly convergent sequences to norm convergent sequences). The main theorem shows that a Banach space failing the CCP (resp., failing the CCP and failing cotype) has a subspace with a finite dimensional decomposition (resp., basis) which fails the CCP.

This is the abstract of the paper "Every nonreflexive subspace of L_1[0,1] fails the fixed point property " by P.N. Dowling and C.J. Lennard The paper is typed in AMSTeX. The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands send dowlenfpfreel1.atx and send dowlenfpfreel1.sty to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract: The main result of this paper is that every non-reflexive subspace $Y$ of $L_1[0,1]$ fails the fixed point property for closed, bounded, convex subsets $C$ of $Y$ and nonexpansive (or contractive) mappings on $C$. Combined with a theorem of Maurey we get that for subspaces $Y$ of $L_1[0,1]$, $Y$ is reflexive if and only if $Y$ has the fixed point property. For general Banach spaces the question as to whether reflexivity implies the fixed point property and the converse question are both still open.

Furthermore, the growth rate is linear if $q=2$ or $\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{p}>\frac{1}{2}$. Unless $\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{2}$ this is also a necessary condition .

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the command send jungecotype.ltx to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract: We will prove an abstract comparision principle which translates gaussian cotype in Rademacher cotype conditions and vice versa. More precisely, let $2\!<\!q\!<\!\infty$ and $T:\,C(K)\,\to\,F$ a linear, continous operator. T is of gaussian cotype q if and only if ( \summ_1^n (\frac{|| Tx_k||_F}{\sqrt{\log(k+1)}})^q )^{1/q} \, \le c || \summ_1^n \varepsilon_k x_k ||_{L_2(C(K))} , for all sequences with $(|| Tx_k ||)_1^n$ decreasing. T is of Rademacher cotype q if and only if (\summ_1^n (|| Tx_k||_F \,\sqrt{\log(k+1)})^q )^{1/q} \, \le c || \summ_1^n g_k x_k ||_{L_2(C(K))} , for all sequences with $(||Tx_k ||)_1^n$ decreasing. Our methods allows a restriction to a fixed number of vectors and complements the corresponding results of Talagrand.

This is the abstract of the paper "Locally Lipschitz Functions and Bornological Derivatives " by J.M. Borwein, M. Fabian and J. Vanderwerff. The paper is typed in LATeX. The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the command send borweinfabianvdwerffllf.ltx to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract. We study the relationships between Gateaux, weak Hadamard and Frechet differentiability and their bornologies for Lipschitz and for convex functions. In particular, Frechet and weak Hadamard differentiabily coincide for all Lipschitz functions if and only if the space is reflexive (an earlier paper of the first two authors shows that these two notions of differentiability coincide for continuous convex functions if and only if the space does not contain a copy of $\ell_1$). We also examine when Gateaux and weak Hadamard differentiability coincide for continuous convex functions. For instance, spaces with the Dunford-Pettis (Schur) property can be characterized by the coincidence of Gateaux and weak Hadamard (Frechet) differentiabilty for dual norms. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is the abstract of the paper "Dual Kadec-Klee norms and the relationships between Wijsman, slice and Mosco convergence " by J.M.

Abstract. In this paper, we completely settle several of the open questions regarding the relationships between the three most fundamental forms of set convergence. In particular, it is shown that Wijsman and slice convergence coincide precisely when the weak star and norm topologies agree on the dual sphere. Consequently, a weakly compactly generated Banach space admits a dense set of norms for which Wijsman and slice convergence coincide if and only if it is an Asplund space. We also show that Wijsman convergence implies Mosco convergence precisely when the weak star and Mackey topologies coincide on the dual sphere. A corollary of these results is that given a fixed norm on an Asplund space, Wijsman and slice convergence coincide if and only if Wijsman convergence implies Mosco convergence.

There is a numerical constant $K_1$ such that for all finite sequences $x_1,\ldots, x_n$ in $A$ we have $$\leqalignno{&\max\left\{\left\|\left(\sum u(x_i)^* u(x_i)\right)^{1/2}\right\|_B, \left\|\left(\sum u(x_i) u(x_i)^*\right)^{1/2}\right\|_B\right\}&(0.1)_1\cr \le &K_1\|u\| \max\left\{\left\|\left(\sum x^*_ix_i\right)^{1/2}\right\|_A, \left\|\left(\sum x_ix^*_i\right)^{1/2}\right\|_A\right\}.}$$ A simpler proof was given in [H1]. More recently an other alternate proof appeared in [LPP]. In this paper we give a sequence of generalizations of this inequality.

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the command send stegalllipfun.atx to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:A remarkable theorem of R. C. James is the following: suppose that $X$ is a Banach space and $C \subseteq X$ is a norm bounded, closed and convex set such that every linear functional $x^* \in X^*$ attains its supremum on $C$; then $C$ is a weakly compact set. Actually, this result is significantly stronger than this statement; indeed, the proof can be used to obtain other surprising results. For example, suppose that $X$ is a separable Banach space and $S$ is a norm separable subset of the unit ball of $X^*$ such that for each $x \in X$ there exists $x^* \in S$ such that $x^*(x) = \|x\|$ then $X^*$ is itself norm separable . If we call $S$ a support set, in this case, with respect to the entire space $X$, one can ask questions about the size and structure of a support set, a support set not only with respect to $X$ itself but perhaps with respect to some other subset of $X$ at . We analyze one particular case of this as well as give some applications.

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the command send leungpolyorlicz.ltx to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract: A Banach space is polyhedral if the unit ball of each of its finite dimensional subspaces is a polyhedron. It is known that a polyhedral Banach space has a separable dual and is $c_0$-saturated, i.e., each closed infinite dimensional subspace contains an isomorph of $c_0$. In this paper, we show that the Orlicz sequence space $h_M$ is isomorphic to a polyhedral Banach space if $\lim_{t\to 0}M(Kt)/M(t) = \infty$ for some $K < \infty$. We also construct an Orlicz sequence space $h_M$ which is $c_0$-saturated, but which is not isomorphic to any polyhedral Banach space. This shows that being $c_0$-saturated and having a separable dual are not sufficient for a Banach space to be isomorphic to a polyhedral Banach space.

DO NOT SEND REQUESTS FOR FILES to banach-owner at math.okstate.edu. The files stored on the bulletin board are almost all either simple text files or TeX. Files in Plain TeX, AMSTeX, or LaTeX (including AMSLATeX) have file extensions .tex, .atx, and .ltx , respectively. The commands for electronic mail usage of the bulletin board are help Sends a set of instructions for using the bulletin board by email. send Index Sends the file known as Index which is an annotated list of the files on the bulletin board. send "filename" Sends the file with file name "filename" as a reply unless the path command is also present. Note that the directory is not needed. send "filename.Z" Sends the file in compressed and uuencoded form. limit n Split files into messages of length at most n Kbytes. The default is 64K and the maximum is 256K. path "emailaddress" Instructs the server to send all files and messages initiated in this request to "emailaddress" instead of replying. Use this if you know replying does not work or you want the files to go to a different address than the reply address. reply "emailaddress" Same as path "emailaddress" resend "filename" n1, n2, ... nk Sends the indicated parts of a file that was split for transmission purposes. Commands are not case sensitive but filenames are. If your mailer automatically adds things to the beginning or end of a message (like a greeting or signature) you can insulate the real commands by inserting BEGIN at the start of the commands list and END after the last command. (It is good practice to do this in any case.) Several commands may be placed in the same message but on separate lines. THE SUBJECT LINE CAN NOT BE USED. "send" will take multiple filenames, e.g., send "filename1 filename2" If a requested file is several Kbytes the server will acknowledge your request but may delay sending the file. Also because the server is on a unix computer, filenames will be case sensitive. If you request a file that is more than 64K, the mail server will split the file into pieces.

If you wish to send a message to all subscribers or add a paper to the bulletin board you should send a message to banach-owner at math.okstate.edu. For example --------------------------------------------- To:banach-owner at math.okstate.edu From:someone at somewhere.edu Subject: paper
Please add this paper to the Banach space bulletin board %This paper is typed in TeX. %Abstract: In this paper we prove that the Riemann Hypothesis is % equivalent to the existence of a Banach space with ... \magnification = 2000 .... ------------------------------------------------- The operator will then TeX and print the paper locally before announcing the existence of the paper for downloading. PLEASE INCLUDE AN ABSTRACT so that there is something to send out to the subscribers. If the abstract is in TeX, it is best if the abstract does not contain special macros. If the email contains a message to be sent to all subscribers, banach-owner will check the message and send it out. Controversial or improper messages may be discarded at the discretion of banach-owner. ------------------------------------------------- Adding Your Paper to the Archive by FTP To add a paper to the archive you can send it to banach-owner at math.okstate.edu by email as described above or you can also use anonymous ftp as explained below. Anonymous FTP The files on the bulletin board are also accessible by anonymous ftp. To use this you must have the correct software on your machine and access to internet. The login name for this is "anonymous" and the password is your address. So a session might go like this: ftp ftp.math.okstate.edu login:anonymous password:someone at somewhere.edu cd pub/banach get filename bye It is also possible to upload a file to the bulletin board. To do this login as above but change directory to the subdirectory of pub/banach called incoming. Be sure to check the directory listing to see whether there is already a file by the same name as you were going to use. If there is, change the name of your file otherwise the original file will be overwritten. An upload session might look like this (after login). cd pub/banach/incoming ls put mytheorem.tex ls bye banach-owner will periodically check the directory pub/banach/incoming for new papers, but it is a good idea to send an email notification to banach-owner at math.okstate.edu. You should look at your ftp manual to be sure that the commands are as above: cd change directory on the remote machine ls directory listing in short form of directory on remote machine bye logout and close connection get copy (a file) from the remote machine to the local machine put copy (a file) from the local machine to the remote machine pwd print the current directory name for the remote machine Remember that the remote machine has a unix (actually SunOS) operating system so subdirectory names are separated by slashes (/) and names are case sensitive. Some TeXnical Remarks Putting a paper in one of the TeX dialects on the bulletin board can make it accessible to a large audience almost instantly. However it is best not to get too fancy with TeX. TeX is very flexible and powerful, but a TeX file that uses the specifics of your installation may not be TeXable by anybody else. The users of this bulletin board are interested in your mathematics not figuring out how to get your file TeXed. Also it is better to include any macros that you define as part of the file rather than using a \input. In the case of a few somewhat standard sets of macros, e.g., mssymb.tex, a \input is OK. Even this file is a nuisance because it deals directly with font sets that the AMS has renamed. Thus depending on the installation, the file may have to be edited. Some machines have mailers which do not like lines with more than 80 characters. These mailers often apply some sort of line breaking filter to the file. Unfortunately the results are sometimes catastrophic for a TeX file. Please make sure that your line length is limited to less than 80 characters. banach-owner checks for this problem on each file that is added to the archive, but it is a major nuisance to correct this problem if there are many lines with excessive length. There are still a few machines which do not translate all standard ASCII characters correctly. As a diagnostic tool it is very helpful to have a short section near the beginning of the paper which contains a list of the non-alphanumeric characters such as %32 space 33 ! exclam. pt. 34 " double quote 35 # sharp %36 $ dollar 37 % percent 38 & ampersand 39 ' prime %40 ( left paren. 41 ) rt. paren. 42 * asterisk 43 + plus %44 , comma 45 - minus 46 . period 47 / division %58 : colon 59 ; semi-colon 60 < less than 61 = equal %62 > greater than 63 ? question mark 64 at at %91 [ left bracket 92 \ backslash 93 ] right bracket 94 ^ caret % 95 _ underline 96 ` left single quote %123 { left brace 124 | vertical bar 125 } right brace 126 ~ tilda AMSTEX and AMSLATeX The AMS makes its fonts and style files available by anonymous ftp and insists that AMSTeX or AMSLATeX be used for papers in the AMS journals. They no longer use plain TeX and LATeX electronic files. (It was found that fixing a paper was more costly than producing an AMSTeX file from the printed manuscript.) There are guidelines for producing files in "Guidelines for preparing electronic manuscripts" published by the AMS. This can be obtained from guide-elec at math.ams.com. (Specify AMSTeX or AMSLATeX version.) Even if you are not preparing your manuscript for an AMS publication this publication can point out places where being too creative can cause trouble. Obtaining AMS files Style files can be obtained by email from ams-tex at math.ams.com or ams-latex at math.ams.com. These files, AMSTeX and others can also be retrieved by anonymous ftp to e-math.ams.com. (Look in the ams subdirectory of e-math). If you have any problems or find errors in the files in the Banach bulletin board archive report them to banach-owner at math.okstate.edu.

Pitman Research Notes In Mathematical Series George A. Anastassiou "Moments in probability and approximation theory" ABOUT THIS VOLUME The use of probabilistic methods in other mathematical disciplines has become a trend in recent years, since they produce simple and elegant proofs usually leading to optimal results. This research monograph in approximation theory and probability theory falls into this category. Using methods from geometric moment theory, the author first solves some very important basic moment problems, and then develops in parallel the theories of convergence of positive linear operators to the unit/weak convergence of finite measures to the Dirac measure, both with rates. The results produced are quantitative inequalities and most of them are either sharp or nearly sharp. Many examples connecting the material to other topics are given. Readership: Researchers in approximation theory, probability theory, numerical analysis, statistics, applied analysis, classical analysis, measure theory, functional analysis, and related fields.

Abstract: We study the properties of "generic", in the sense of the Haar measure on the corresponding Grassmann manifold, subspaces of l^N_infinity of given dimension. We prove that every "well bounded" operator on such a subspace, say E, is a "small" perturbation of a multiple of identity, where "smallness" is defined intrinsically in terms of the geometry of E. In the opposite direction, we prove that such "generic subspaces of l^N_infinity" do admit "nontrivial well bounded" projections, which shows the "near optimality" of the first mentioned result, and proves the so called "Pisier's dichotomy conjecture" in the "generic" case.

Abstract: Let $E$ be an operator space in the sense of the theory recently developed by Blecher-Paulsen and Effros-Ruan. We introduce a notion of $E$-valued non commutative $L_p$-space for $1 \leq p < \infty$ and we prove that the resulting operator space satisfies the natural properties to be expected with respect to e.g. duality and interpolation. This notion leads to the definition of a ``completely p-summing" map which is the operator space analogue of the $p$-absolutely summing maps in the sense of Pietsch-Kwapie\'n. These notions extend the particular case $p=1$ which was previously studied by Effros-Ruan.

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send pisierregopBlat.tex end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract: We study certain interpolation and extension properties of the space of regular operators between two Banach lattices. Let $R_p$ be the space of all the regular (or equivalently order bounded) operators on $L_p$ equipped with the regular norm. We prove the isometric identity $R_p = (R_\infty,R_1)^\theta$ if $\theta = 1/p$, which shows that the spaces $(R_p)$ form an interpolation scale relative to Calder\'on's interpolation method. We also prove that if $S\subset L_p$ is a subspace, every regular operator $u : S \to L_p$ admits a regular extension $\tilde u : L_p \to L_p$ with the same regular norm. This extends a result due to Mireille L\'evy in the case $p = 1$. Finally, we apply these ideas to the Hardy space $H^p$ viewed as a subspace of $L_p$ on the circle. We show that the space of regular operators from $H^p$ to $L_p$ possesses a similar interpolation property as the spaces $R_p$ defined above. File length:11K

James B. Cooper, Paul Mueller, Charles Stegall e-mail: K318290 at EDVZ.UNI-LINZ.AC.AT WINTERSCHOOL IN ANALYSIS February 14 --- 19, 1994 Strobl am Wolfgangsee The Mathematical Institute of the Johannes Kepler University, Linz is organising a Winter School in Analysis within the framework of the Tempus project No. JEP 1988. Tempus projects are joint European ventures with the main aim of establishing contacts at all levels but in particular at student level between European countries, with the emphasis on integrating students from the former Eastern block. The Winter School will be from February 14th - 19th, 1994, in the beautiful resort of Strobl on Wolfgangsee. It will take the form of series of 5 connected lectures. The following mathematicians have agreed to give such a mini-course: Professor N.G. Makarov, California Institute of Technology (Pasadena), TITLE: Chaos and Complex Analysis Professor D.H.

<<<<<<<<<DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is the abstract of the paper "The k_t--functional for the interpolation couple L^\infty(d\mu;L^1(d\nu)), L^\infty(d\nu;L^1(d\mu)) " by A. Hess and G. Pisier. The paper is typed in LATeX. The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send hesspisierktfnctnl.ltx end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:Let $(M,\mu)$ and $(N,\nu)$ be measure spaces. In this paper, we study the $K_t$--\,functional for the couple $$A_0=L^\infty(d\mu\,; L^1(d\nu))\,,~~A_1=L^\infty(d\nu\,; L^1(d\mu))\,. $$ Here, and in what follows the vector valued $L^p$--\,spaces $L^p(d\mu\,; L^q(d\nu))$ are meant in Bochner's sense. One of our main results is the following, which can be viewed as a refinement of a lemma due to Varopoulos [V]. \proclaim Theorem 0.1. Let $(A_0,A_1)$ be as above. Then for all $f$ in $A_0+A_1$ we have $${1\over 2}\,K_t(f;\,A_0\,,A_1)\leq \sup\,\bigg\{ \Big(\mu(E)\vee t^{-1}\nu(F)\Big)^{-1} \int_{E\times F} \vert f\vert\,d\mu\,d\nu\,\bigg\} \leq K_t(f;\,A_0\,,A_1)\,,$$ where the supremum runs over all measurable subsets $E\subset M\,,~ F\subset N$ with positive and finite measure and $u\!\vee\!v$ denotes the maximum of the reals $u$ and $v$.

Abstract:A Banach space is $c_0$-saturated if all of its closed infinite dimensional subspaces contain an isomorph of $c_0$. In this article, we study the stability of this property under the formation of direct sums and tensor products. Some of the results are: (1) a slightly more general version of the fact that $c_0$-sums of $c_0$-saturated spaces are $c_0$-saturated; (2) $C(K,E)$ is $c_0$-saturated if both $C(K)$ and $E$ are; (3) the tensor product $JH\tilde{\otimes}_\epsilon JH$ is $c_0$-saturated, where $JH$ is the James Hagler space.

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send latushkinmontsmithsemigp.ltx end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract: We present a spectral mapping theorem for continuous semigroups of operators on any Banach space $E$. The condition for the hyperbolicity of a semigroup on $E$ is given in terms of the generator of an evolutionary semigroup acting in the space of $E$-valued functions. The evolutionary semigroup generated by the propagator of a nonautonomous differential equation in $E$ is also studied. A ``discrete'' technique for the investigating of the evolutionary semigroup is developed and applied to describe the hyperbolicity (exponential dichotomy) of the nonautonomuos equation.

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send pisierexactopsp.tex end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:In this paper, we study {\it operator spaces\/} in the sense of the theory developed recently by Blecher-Paulsen [BP] and Effros-Ruan [ER1]. By an operator space, we mean a closed subspace $E\subset B(H)$, with $H$ Hilbert. We will be mainly concerned here with the ``geometry'' of {\it finite dimensional\/} operator spaces. In the Banach space category, it is well known that every separable space embeds isometrically into $\ell_\infty$. Moreover, if $E$ is a finite dimensional normed space then for each $\vp>0$, there is an integer $n$ and a subspace $F\subset \ell^n_\infty$ which is $(1+\vp)$-isomorphic to $E$, i.e. there is an isomorphism $u\colon \ E\to F$ such that $\|u\|\ \|u^{-1}\|\le 1+\vp$. Here of course, $n$ depends on $\vp$, say $n=n(\vp)$ and usually (for instance if $E = \ell^k_2$) we have $n(\vp)\to \infty$ when $\vp\to 0$. Quite interestingly, it turns out that this fact is not valid in the category of operator spaces:\ although every operator space embeds completely isometrically into $B(H)$ (the non-commutative analogue of $\ell_\infty$) it is not true that a finite dimensional operator space must be close to a subspace of $M_n$ (the non-commutative analogue of $\ell^n_\infty$) for some $n$. The main object of this paper is to study this phenomenon. File length:74K

This is a non-commutative generalization of the notion of regular or order bounded map on a Banach lattice. This extension is based on our recent paper [P3], where we introduce and study a non-commutative version of vector valued $L_p$-spaces. In the extreme cases $p=1$ and $p=\infty$, our regular operators reduce to the completely bounded ones and the regular norm coincides with the $cb$-norm. We prove that a mapping is regular iff it is a linear combination of bounded, completely positive mappings. We prove an extension theorem for regular mappings defined on a subspace of a non-commutative $L_p$-space. Finally, let $R_p$ be the space of all regular mappings on a given non-commutative $L_p$-space equipped with the regular norm. We prove the isometric identity $R_p=(R_\infty,R_1)^\theta$ where $\theta=1/p$ and where $(\ .\ ,\ .\ )^\theta$ is the dual variant of Calder\'on's complex interpolation method. File length:48K

<<<<<<<<<DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is the abstract of the papers "Bounds on the Tail Probability of U-Statistics and Quadratic Forms" and "Decoupling Inequalities for the Tail Probabilities of Multivariate U-statistics" by Victor H. de la Pe\~na and S. J. Montgomery-Smith. The paper is typed in TeX. The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send montsmithpenaustat.tex send montsmithpenadecupustat.tex end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:Both papers are concerned with the following result which allows one to decouple U-Statistics in tail probability. Theorem 1. Let $X_i$\ be a sequence of independent random variables taking values in a measure space $S$, and let $f_{i_1\dotsi_k}$\ be measurable functions from $S^k$\ to a Banach space $B$. Let $(X_i^{(j)})$\ be independent copies of $(X_i)$. The following inequality holds for all $t \ge 0$ and all $n\ge 2$, $$ P(||\sum_{1\le i_1 \ne \dots \ne i_k \le n} f_{i_1 \dots i_k}(X_{i_1},\dots,X_{i_k}) || \ge t) \qquad\qquad$$ $$ \qquad\qquad\le C_k P(C_k||\sum_{1\le i_1 \ne \dots \ne i_k \le n} f_{i_1 \dots i_k}(X_{i_1}^{(1)},\dots,X_{i_k}^{(k)}) || \ge t) .$$ Furthermore, the reverse inequality also holds in the case that the functions $\{f_{i_1\dots i_k}\}$\ satisfy the symmetry condition $$ f_{i_1 \dots i_k}(X_{i_1},\dots,X_{i_k}) = f_{i_{\pi(1)} \dots i_{\pi(k)}}(X_{i_{\pi(1)}},\dots,X_{i_{\pi(k)}}) $$ for all permutations $\pi$\ of $\{1,\dots,k\}$. Note that the expression $i_1 \ne \dots \ne i_k$\ means that $i_r \ne i_s$\ for $r\ne s$. Also, $C_k$\ is a constant that depends only on $k$. The first paper is an announcement of the result, and includes a proof in the case that $k=2$. The second paper gives the full proof of the result. File length:17K, 26K

The paper is typed in LATeX. The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send kaltonwernermideal.ltx end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract: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 space to embed almost isometrically into an $\ell_{p}$-sum of finite-dimensional spaces resp.\ into $c_{0}$, and for $2<p<\iy$ we prove that a subspace of $L_{p}$ embeds almost isometrically into $\ell_{p}$ if and only if it does not contain a subspace isomorphic to $\ell_{2}$.

The paper is typed in AMSLATeX. The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send muellermrcnkwcz.ltx end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:The real part of $H^\infty(\bT)$ is not dense in $L^\infty_{\tR}(\bT)$. The John-Nirenberg theorem in combination with the Helson-Szeg\"o theorem and the Hunt Muckenhaupt Wheeden theorem has been used to determine whether $f\in L^\infty_{\tR}(\bT)$ can be approximated by $\Re H^\infty(\bT)$ or not: $\dist(f,\Re H^\infty)=0$ if and only if for every $\e>0$ there exists $\l_0>0$ so that for $\l>\l_0$ and any interval $I\sbe \bT$. $$|\{x\in I:|\tilde f-(\tilde f)_I|>\l\}|\le |I|e^{-\l/ \e},$$ where $\tilde f$ denotes the Hilbert transform of $f$. See [G] p. 259. This result is contrasted by the following \begin{theor} Let $f\in L^\infty_{\tR}$ and $\e>0$. Then there is a function $g\in H^\infty(\bT)$ and a set $E\sb \bT$ so that $|\bT\sm E|<\e$ and $$f=\Re g\quad\mbox{ on } E.$$ \end{theor} This theorem is best regarded as a corollary to Men'shov's correction theorem. For the classical proof of Men'shov's theorem see [Ba, Ch VI \S 1-\S4]. Simple proofs of Men'shov's theorem -- together with significant extensions -- have been obtained by S.V. Khruschev in [Kh] and S.V. Kislyakov in [K1], [K2] and [K3]. In [S] C. Sundberg used $\bar\pa$-techniques (in particular [G, Theorem VIII.1. gave a proof of Theorem 1 that does not mention Men'shov's theorem. The purpose of this paper is to use a Marcinkiewicz decomposition on Holomorphic Martingales to give another proof of Theorem 1. In this way we avoid uniformly convergent Fourier series as well as $\bar\pa$-techniques. File length:16K

Abstract:Let K be a convex body in $\Bbb R^d$. A random polytope in K is the convex hull of finitely many points in K that are chosen at random with respect to a probability measure on K. Here we consider the normalized Lebesgue measure on K. For a fixed number n of points we are interested in the expectation of the volume of that part of K that is not contained in the convex hull $[x_1,....., x_n]$ of the chosen points. We denote $$ \Bbb E(K,n)= \int_{K \times \cdots \times K} vol_d([x_1,...,x_n])d\Bbb P(x_1,...x_n) $$ where $\Bbb P$ is the n-fold product of the normalized Lebesgue measure on K. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of $$ vol_d(K)-\Bbb E(K,n)= \int_{K \times \cdots \times K} vol_d(K \setminus [x_1,....,x_n]) d\Bbb P(x_1,...,x_n) $$ R\'enyi and Sulanke determined the asymptotic behavior of this expression for polygons and smooth convex bodies in $\Bbb R^2$. \vskip 1cm \proclaim{\smc Theorem 1} Let K be a convex body in $\Bbb R^d$. Then we have $$ c(d)\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac {vol_d(K)-\Bbb E(K,n)}{(\frac{vol_d(K)}{n})^{\frac{2}{d+1}}} =\int_{\partial K} \kappa(x)^{\frac{1}{d+1}}d\mu(x) $$ where $\kappa (x)$ is the generalized Gau\ss-Kronecker curvature and $$ c(d)=2(\frac{vol_{d-1}(B_2^{d-1})}{d+1})^{\frac {2}{d+1}} \frac{(d+3)(d+1)!} {(d^2+d+2)(d^2+1)\Gamma(\frac{d^2+1}{d+1})} $$ \endproclaim \vskip 1cm This problem was posed by Schneider and Wieacker .

Abstract:Let $X$ be a separable nonquasireflexive Banach space. Let $Y$ be a Banach space isomorphic to a subspace of $X^*$. The paper is devoted to the following questions: 1. Under what conditions does there exist an isomorphic embedding $T:Y\to X^*$ such that subspace $T(Y)\subset X^*$ is total? 2. If such embeddings exist, what are the possible orders of $T(Y)$? Here we need to recall some definitions. For a subset $M\subset X^*$ we denote the set of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent sequences in $M$ by $M_{(1)}$. Inductively, for ordinal number $\alpha$ we let $$M_{(\alpha)}=\cup_{\beta<\alpha}(M_{(\beta)})_{(1)}.$$ The least ordinal $\alpha$ for which $M_{(\alpha)}= M_{(\alpha+1)}$ is called the {\it order} of $M$.

You may be able to take advantage of various discounted air fares if you make reservations soon, so we would encourage you to take action promptly. The material concerning travel and motel accommodations should be self-explanatory. We also ask that you send back your registration form at your earliest convenience, so that we can start filling in the schedule of talks. It should also be noted that there is an upper limit to the number of participants we can accommodate so we may be forced to decline late registrations. There will be another mailing nearer the conference in which we give a more detailed schedule. If you want to give a 20 or 30 minute talk, your abstract should accompany your registration form. We ask that, if possible, you have your abstract prepared in TeX and that you send us both a hard copy and an electronic copy. Please try to keep your abstract short and to the point, and, in particular, not more than one page (a third to a half a page is much preferred). For joint work, please indicate the speaker with an asterisk (*). We will prepare a list of abstracts in alphabetical order by speaker. These will be distributed at registration. Also, there will be a registration fee of $40. It would assist the organizers if this is paid in advance; of course it is refundable in the event of non-attendance. The fee is waived for the main speakers and graduate students. Please make your check payable to: The University of Missouri, Dept of Mathematics. Other information, about restaurants, use of e-mail, etc., will also be provided at registration. Since this mailing is being sent to two different lists of e-mail addresses, it is possible that you will receive multiple copies of it. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience. If you desire further information, please direct your queries to the account conf at esaab.cs.missouri.edu. Phone queries should go to the Math. Dept. office (314-882-6221). The Dept.'s fax number is 314-882-1869. Travelling to and from Columbia, Missouri We describe here the principal means of access to and from Columbia. Details about getting around Columbia will be provided later. CAR The main highways through Columbia are Interstate 70 (I-70) (east-west) and US Highway 63 (north-south). I-70 runs east-west and connects to Kansas City to the west and St. Louis to the east. In particular, St. Louis airport (Lambert field) is situated about 18 miles west of St. Louis directly on I-70. It is about 110 miles from the airport to Columbia. From Kansas City International Airport take I-435 to I-70: it is about 150 miles. Columbia airport is 15 miles south of Columbia on U.S. 63. AIR If flying, you can choose between flying to Columbia, St. Louis and Kansas City. Columbia airport is served by TWE from St. Louis and by Lone Star Airlines from Dallas/Fort Worth. It is about 15-20 miles south of Columbia. We hope to run vans to pick people up there at peak times. There is also Midwest Airport Shuttle (314-874-4048) which charges $11 one-way with $1 extra per additional passenger to the same destination. Taxis are also available (Checker Cab Co. 449-4191). Some motels may also offer shuttle service. >From St. Louis airport you may rent a car; see driving instructions above. Otherwise, there are two choices of public transportation. Tiger Air Express Limousine service to Columbia (314-443-3544 or 800-333-3026) offers door-to-door service at $40 one-way, with departures at approximately one to two-hour intervals. Call to make a reservation. (We can make arrangements for overseas participants) The final departure from St. Louis is at 9:30 p.m. daily. The Greyhound bus operates on the following schedule. Call Greyhound to make sure that this schedule is still valid. Lambert Field to Columbia leave Lambert Field arrive in Columbia 2:40AM 4:40AM 7:50AM 10:05AM 1:50PM 4:20PM 6:40PM 8:45PM Columbia to Lambert Field leave Columbia arrive at Lambert Field 2:40AM 4:45AM 10:05AM 12:20PM 4:20PM 6:35PM Kansas City Airport is somewhat further from Columbia, (about a 3 hour drive). It is also served by Tiger Air Express on a rather less frequent schedule. Contact Tiger Air Express for details. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Motel Information Participants from the US and Canada are asked to make their own reservations directly with the hotel or dormitory. Be sure to ask for the conference rate (you may need to mention that this is a special rate agreed upon with the Math. Dept. for the Analysis Conference). Please make your reservation before the release date (listed below). Participants from outside North America may contact the conference organizers and specify the accommodation required The Johnston/Wolpers(Dorm) and Campus Inn are within walking distance to campus.

We are in the process of seeking additional funds and the final budget situation is not yet clear; we have applied for funds to cover at least some local expenses of all participants, but we will not know if we can do this for some time. Since we are expecting a large attendance, we would like those of you who have other sources of support to use these. We particularly hope to fund graduate students and recent Ph.D's who have no other sources of funding. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Conference Proceedings We are planning to publish the Proceedings of the Conference, probably in the Contemporary Mathematics series. Papers submitted to the Proceedings will be refereed. We hope that of the main speakers will contribute to the proceedings. Please let us know on the registration form if you would like to submit a paper. The deadline for the receipt of the article will be August 1, 1994. Papers should be prepared in TeX; more precise details will be forwarded in due course.

Abstract:This is a 30 page set of lecture notes, in Plain TeX, which were prepared for and presented as a series of lectures (10 1/2 hours over two weeks) at the 2nd Summer School on Banach Spaces, Related Areas and Applications in Prague and Paseky, Czech Republic, during August, 1993. They consist of a largely self-contained exposition of both classical and recent basic facts about maximal monotone operators on Banach spaces, motivated in part by the goal of highlighting several fundamental properties of such operators which remain open questions in nonreflexive Banach spaces.

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send dilworthkoldobskyft.atx end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:We present a formula for the Fourier transforms of order statistics in $\Bbb R^n$ showing that all these Fourier transforms are equal up to a constant multiple outside the coordinate planes in $\Bbb R^n.$ For $a_1\geq ... \geq a_n\ge0$ and $q>0,$ denote by $\ell_{w,q}^n$ the $n$-dimensional Lorentz space with the norm $\|(x_1,...,x_n)\| = (a_1 (x_1^{*})^q +...+ a_n (x_n^{*})^q)^{1/q}$, where $(x_1^{*},...,x_n^{*})$ is the non-increasing permutation of the numbers $|x_1|,...,|x_n|.$ We use the above mentioned formula and the Fourier transform criterion of isometric embeddability of Banach spaces into $L_q$ \cite{10} to prove that, for $n\geq 3$ and $q\leq 1,$ the space $\ell_{w,q}^n$ is isometric to a subspace of $L_q$ if and only if the numbers $a_1,...,a_n$ form an arithmetic progression. For $q>1,$ all the numbers $a_i$ must be equal so that $\ell_{w,q}^n = \ell_q^n.$ Consequently, the Lorentz function space $L_{w,q}(0,1)$ is isometric to a subspace of $L_q$ if and only if {\it either} $0<q<\infty$ and the weight $w$ is a constant function (so that $L_{w,q}= L_q$), {\it or} $q\le 1$ and $w(t)$ is a decreasing linear function. Finally, we relate our results to the theory of positive definite functions. File length:37K

<<<<<<<<<DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is the abstract of the paper "Bilinear forms on exact operator spaces and B(H)\otimes B(H)" by M. Junge and G. Pisier. The paper is typed in TeX. The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send jungepisierbilnfrm.tex end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:Let $E,F$ be exact operators (For example subspaces of the $C^*$-algebra $K(H)$ of all the compact operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$). We study a class of bounded linear maps $u\colon E\to F^*$ which we call tracially bounded. In particular, we prove that every completely bounded (in short $c.b.$) map $u\colon E\to F^*$ factors boundedly through a Hilbert space. This is used to show that the set $OS_n$ of all $n$-dimensional operator spaces equipped with the $c.b.$ version of the Banach Mazur distance is not separable if $n>2$. As an application we show that there is more than one $C^*$-norm on $B(H)\otimes B(H)$, or equivalently that $$B(H)\otimes_{\min}B(H)\not=B(H)\otimes_{\max}B(H),$$ which answers a long standing open question. Finally we show that every ``maximal" operator space (in the sense of Paulsen) is not exact in the infinite dimensional case, and in the finite dimensional case, we give a lower bound for the ``exactness constant".

Abstract: Let $ n\geq 2, A=(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^{n}$ be a real symmetric matrix, $a=(a_i)_{i=1}^{n}\in \Bbb R^n.$ Consider the differential operator $D_A = \sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij}{\partial^2 \over \partial x_i \partial x_j}+ \sum_{i=1}^n a_i{\partial \over \partial x_i}.$ Let $E$ be a bounded domain in $\Bbb R^n,$ $p>0.$ Denote by $L_{D_A}^p(E)$ the space of solutions of the equation $D_A f=0$ in the domain $E$ provided with the $L_p$-norm. We prove that, for matrices $A,B,$ vectors $a,b,$ bounded domains $E,F,$ and every $p>0$ which is not an even integer, the space $L_{D_A}^p(E)$ is isometric to a subspace of $L_{D_B}^p(F)$ if and only if the matrices $A$ and $B$ have equal signatures, and the domains $E$ and $F$ coincide up to a natural mapping which in the most cases is affine. We use the extension method for $L_p$-isometries which reduces the problem to the question of which weighted composition operators carry solutions of the equation $D_A f=0$ in $E$ to solutions of the equation $D_B f=0$ in $F.$ File length:35K

The paper may be downloaded from the bulletin board by ftp to ftp.math.okstate.edu or transmitting the commands begin send jungecotype_sum.ltx end to: banach-files at math.okstate.edu. Abstract:It is well known in Banach space theory that for a finite dimensional space $E$ there exists a constant $c_E$, such that for all sequences $(x_k)_k \subset E$ one has \[ \summ_k \noo x_k \rrm \kl c_E \pl \sup_{\eps_k \pm 1} \noo \summ_k \eps_k x_k \rrm \pl .\] Moreover, if $E$ is of dimension $n$ the constant $c_E$ ranges between $\sqrt{n}$ and $n$. This implies that absolute convergence and unconditional convergence only coincide in finite dimensional spaces. We will characterize Banach spaces $X$, where the constant $c_E \sim \sqrt{n}$ for all finite dimensional subspaces. More generally, we prove that an estimate $c_E \kll c n^{1-\frac{1}{q}}$holds for all $n \in \nz$ and all $n$-dimensional subspaces $E$ of $X$ if and only if the eigenvalues of every operator factoring through $\ell_{\infty}$ decrease of order $k^{-\frac{1}{q}}$ if and only if $X$ is of weak cotype $q$, introduced by Pisier and Mascioni. We emphasize that in contrast to Talagrand's equivalence theorem on cotype $q$ and absolutely $(q,1)$-summing spaces this extendsto the case $q=2$. If $q>2$ and one of the conditions above is satisfied one has \[ \kla \summ_k \noo x_k \rrm^q \mer^{\frac{1}{q}} \kl C^{1+l}\pl (1+{\rm log}_2)^{(l)}((1 +{\rm log}_2 n)^{\frac{1}{q}}) \pl \ez \noo \summ_k \eps_k x_k \rrm \] for all $n,l \in \nz$ and $(x_k)_k \subset E$, $E$ a $n$ dimensional subspace of $X$. In the case $q=2$ the same holds if we replace the expected value by the supremum.
