Dear Banach space BBS subscribers,

There is a move to consolidate several of the preprint servers into one
mathematics server. Under this arrangement the current contents of the
Banach space archive will be included in the archive at Los Alamos,
http://xxx.lanl.gov/new/math.html
The complete details are not yet available, but I intend to maintain an
interface as before with links into the new archive. Preprint submission
will change and preprints will be available in multiple forms, TeX, pdf,
and postscript. The archive will be mirrored and preprints will be more
widely circulated. When the details are more complete, I will send out
further information.

The target date for the change is February 1, 1998.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR PREPRINTS ON THE CURRENT SERVER
TO BE AVAILABLE ON THE NEW SERVER, SEND ME
A MESSAGE BEFORE JANUARY 25, 1998 STATING THAT YOU WANT THE PREPRINT WITHDRAWN.

Dale Alspach

 Abstract:It is shown that every Banach space either contains $\ell ^1$
or it has an infinite dimensional closed subspace which is a quotient
of a H.I. Banach space.Further on, $L^p(\lambda )$, $1<p<\infty $,  is
a quotient of a H.I Banach space.

 Abstract:A system of uniform families on an infinite subset $M$ of
$\nn$ is a collection $(\cca_{\xi})_{\xi<\omega_1}$ of families of
finite subsets of $\nn$ (where, $\cca_k$ consists of all $k$--element
subset of $M$, for $k\in \nn$) with the properties that each
$\cca_{\xi}$ is thin (i.e. it does not contain proper initial segments
of any of its element) and the Cantor--Bendixson index, defined for
$\cca_{\xi}$, is equal to $\xi+1$ and stable when we restrict ourselves
to any subset of $M$. We indicate how to extend the generalized
Schreier families to a system of uniform families.

Using that notion we establish the correct (countable) ordinal index
generalization of the classical Ramsey theorem (which corresponds to
the finite ordinal indices). Indeed, for a family $\ccf$ of finite
subsets of $\nn$, we obtain the following:  \begin{enumerate} \item
[(i)] For every infinite subset $M$ of $\nn$ and every countable
ordinal $\xi$, there is an infinite subset $L$ of $M$ such that either
$\cca_{\xi}\cap [L]^{<\omega}\subseteq\ccf$ or $\cca_{\xi}\cap
[L]^{<\omega}\subseteq [\nn]^{<\omega}\smallsetminus\ccf$;\\ (where
$[L]^{<\omega}$ denotes the family of all finite subsets of $L$).
\item [(ii)] If, in addition $\ccf$ is hereditary and pointwise closed,
then for every infinite subset $M$ of $\nn$ there is a countable
ordinal number $\xi$ such that:  \begin{enumerate} \item [(a)] For
every ordinal number $\zeta$ with $\zeta+1<\xi$ there is an infinite
subset $L$ of $M$ such that $\cca_{\xi}\cap
[L]^{<\omega}\subseteq\ccf$.  \item [(b)] For every ordinal number
$\zeta$ with $\xi<\zeta+1$ there is an infinite subset $L$ of $M$ such
that $\ccf\cap [L]^{<\omega}\subseteq (\cca_{\zeta})^{*}\smallsetminus
\cca_{\zeta}$; which gives $\cca_{\xi}\cap [L]^{<\omega}\subseteq
[\nn]^{<\omega}\smallsetminus\ccf$;\\ (where generally $\cca^{*}$
denotes the family of all initial segments of elements of $\cca$).
\item [(c)] For $\zeta=\xi+1$, both alternatives ((a) and (b)) may
materialize.  \end{enumerate} \item [(iii)] If $\ccf$ is hereditary,
then $\ccf$ is not closed if and only if there is an infinite subset
$M$ of $\nn$ such that $[M]^{<\omega}\subseteq \ccf$.  \end{enumerate}

This is the abstract of the paper "The complete separable extension
property" by H. Rosenthal.  The paper is typed in AMSTeX. The paper may be

transmitting the command


	 get banach rosenthalcomplete.tex

 Abstract:This work introduces operator space analogues of the
 Separable Extension Property (SEP) for Banach spaces; the Complete
Separable Extension Property (CSEP) and the Complete Separable
Complemention Property (CSCP).  The results use the technique of a new
proof of Sobczyk's Theorem, which also yields new results for the SEP
in the non-separable situation, e.g., $(\oplus_{n=1}^\infty Z_n)_{c_0}$
has the $(2+\ep)$-SEP for all $\ep>0$ if $Z_1,Z_2,\ldots$ have the
1-SEP; in particular, $c_0 (\ell^\infty)$ has the SEP.  It is proved
that e.g., $c_0(\bR\oplus\bC)$ has the CSEP (where $\bR$, $\bC$ denote
Row, Column space respectively) as a consequence of the general
principle: if $Z_1,Z_2,\ldots$ is a uniformly exact sequence of
injective operator spaces, then $(\oplus_{n=1}^\infty Z_n)_{c_0}$ has
the CSEP.  Similarly, e.g., $\bK_0 \defeq (\oplus_{n=1}^\infty
M_n)_{c_0}$ has the CSCP, due to the general principle:
$(\oplus_{n=1}^\infty Z_n)_{c_0}$ has the CSCP if $Z_1,Z_2,\ldots$ are
injective separable operator spaces.  Further structural results are
obtained for these properties, and several open problems and
conjectures are discussed.

 Abstract:We show that the classification problem for genus~$n$ Banach
spaces can be reduced to  the unconditionally primary case and that the
critical case there is $n=2$. It is further shown that a genus~$n$
Banach space  is unconditionally primary if and only if it contains a
complemented  subspace  of genus~$(n-1)$. We begin the process of
classifying the genus~2 spaces by showing they have a strong
decomposition property.

 Abstract:We find a natural class of transformations ("flattened
perturbations") of a norming M-basis in a Banach space $X$, which give
a strong norming M-basis in $X$.  This simplifies and generalizes the
positive answer to the "strong M-basis problem" solved by P.~Terenzi.
We also show that in general one cannot achieve uniformly minimality
applying standard transformations to a given norming M-basis, despite
of the existence in $X$ a uniformly minimal strong M-bases.

result for nonnegative random variables, and improve one of the
constants in his inequality.

  Jaramillo (Univ. Complutense)
Comments: 18 pages; AMS-Tex
Subj-class: Functional Analysis

  We investigate the best order of smoothness of $L^p(L^q)$. We prove in
particular that there exists a $C^\infty$-smooth bump function on $L^p(L^q)$ if
and only if $p$ and $q$ are both even integers and $p$ is a multiple of $q$.

Most of the papers from the Banach archive are now available at
xxx.lanl.gov. The ones missing are from the transition period of
February and March 1998. These will be added shortly. If there are
others missing let me know. Note that papers from the years before 1992
are archived in the 1992 section.  No new papers will be added at the
old site.

Note that the new archive uses gzipped files. This is not a proprietary
format and is distributed for many machines as part of the GNU project.
(see http://www.netlib.no/netlib/gnu/gzip/) This is not the same format as
pkzip files. The Infozip unzip will also unzip these files and is
available for many operating systems.  UNIX systems usually have
gunzip, WinZip works on windows machines and MacGzip works for Macs.
There are probably many other unarchivers which will work.

Below is a list of mirrors of the archive. If you experience problems or
you have suggestions, let me know. I am adding some web pages about the new
archive and links to help.

Paper: math.FA/9804044

Title: Absolutely representing systems, uniform smoothness, and type
Authors: R. Vershynin
Comments: 15 pages
Subj-class: Functional Analysis
MSC-class: 46B03; 46B07; 52A21
\\
  Absolutely representing system (ARS) in a Banach space $X$ is a set $D
\subset X$ such that every vector $x$ in $X$ admits a representation by an
absolutely convergent series $x = \sum_i a_i x_i$ with $(a_i)$ reals and $(x_i)
\subset D$. We investigate some general properties of ARS. In particular, ARS
in uniformly smooth and in B-convex Banach spaces are characterized via
$\epsilon$-nets of the unit balls. Every ARS in a B-convex Banach space is
quick, i.e. in the representation above one can achieve $\|a_i x_i\| <
cq^i\|x\|$, $i=1,2,...$ for some constants $c>0$ and $q \in (0,1)$.

Dear Subscribers,

In the merged archive at xxx.lanl.gov Banach spaces is in the larger
category functional analysis (FA). As a result I am filtering the
postings and crosslistings to FA and forwarding only those that seem to
fit within the general area of Banach spaces. Because I am doing the
filtering, my ignorance and prejudices may cause me to eliminate some
postings that you might feel really should be forwarded. 

Postings with MSC-class 46A-E will almost always be forwarded. Also
postings to MG (metric geometry) and OA (operator algebras) which are
crosslisted to FA will get serious consideration. However if one of
these is your main area of interest you should consider subscribing
directly to xxx.lanl.gov.

You can help alleviate problems caused by my filtering by alerting me to
omissions and if you submit a paper to the archive that you want advertised
on this list which you think I might not forward, send me a note.

As with anything new there will no doubt be some problems. Feel free to
make suggestions.

Title: On certain equivalent norms on Tsirelson's space
Authors: Edward Odell and Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann
Comments: 19 pp., LaTeX
Report-no: ut-ma/980006
Subj-class: Functional Analysis
MSC-class: 46B03
\\
  Tsirelson's space $T$ is known to be distortable but it is open as to
whether
or not $T$ is arbitrarily distortable. For $n\in {\Bbb N}$ the norm
$\|\cdot\|_n$ of the Tsirelson space $T(S_n,2^{-n})$ is equivalent to the
standard norm on $T$. We prove there exists $K<\infty$ so that for all $n$,
$\|\cdot\|_n$ does not $K$ distort any subspace $Y$ of $T$.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Corran Webster
Content-Length: 1551

This is an announcement for the paper "Matrix compact sets and operator
approximation properties" by Corran Webster.


Abstract: 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
investigate when the two types of compactness agree, and introduce a
natural condition which guarantees that they do.

This is an announcement for the paper "The dual of the Bourgain-Delbaen
space" by Dale Alspach.


Abstract: It is shown that a script L_infty-space with separable dual
constructed by Bourgain and Delbaen has small Szlenk index and thus
does not have a quotient isomorphic to C(omega^omega). It follows that
this is a script L_infty-space which is the same size as c_0 in the
sense of the Szlenk index but does not contain c_0. This has some
consequences in the theory of uniform homeomorphism of Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "The normed and Banach envelopes
of Weak L^1" by Denny H. Leung.


Abstract: The space Weak L^1 consists of all measurable functions on
[0,1] such that
  q(f) = sup_{c>0} c \lambda{t : |f(t)| > c} is finite, where \lambda
  denotes Lebesgue measure. Let \rho be the gauge functional of the
unit ball {f : q(f) \leq 1} of the quasi- norm q, and let N be the null
space of \rho. The normed envelope of Weak L^1, which we denote by W,
is the space (Weak L^1/N, \rho). The Banach envelope of Weak L^1,
\overline{W}, is the completion of W. We show that \overline{W} is
isometrically lattice isomorphic to a sublattice of W. It is also shown
that all rearrangement invariant Banach function spaces are
isometrically isomorphic to a sublattice of W.

This is an announcement for the paper "Extremal Approximately Convex
Functions and Estimating the Size of Convex Hulls" by S. J. Dilworth,
Ralph Howard, and James W. Roberts.

Abstract: A real valued function $f$ defined on a convex $K$ is an
approximately convex function iff it satisfies
$$
f((x+y)/2) \le (f(x)+f(y))/2 + 1.
$$
A thorough study of approximately convex functions is made.  The
principal results are a sharp universal upper bound for lower
semi-continuous approximately convex functions that vanish on the
vertices of a simplex and an explicit description of the unique
largest bounded approximately convex function~$E$ vanishing on the
vertices of a simplex.

A set $A$ in a normed space is an approximately convex set iff for all
$a,b\in A$ the distance of the midpoint $(a+b)/2$ to $A$ is $\le 1$.
The bounds on approximately convex functions are used to show that in
$\R^n$ with the Euclidean norm, for any approximately convex set $A$,
any point $z$ of the convex hull of $A$ is at a distance of at most
$[\log_2(n-1)]+1+(n-1)/2^{[\log_2(n-1)]}$ from $A$.  Examples are
given to show this is the sharp bound.  Bounds for general norms on
$R^n$ are also given.

The list software has been down for the last few weeks due to local system
changes. Email file retrieval is still not functional from this list server
however all papers are available from the Los Alamos archive or by using
the web interface at http://www.math.okstate.edu/~alspach/banach/

I will be distributing some messages that were held while the sytem was
down. There has been a slight change in the addresses. To send a message to
the subscribers to the list, send it to banach at math.okstate.edu just as before.
To subscribe or unsubscribe, retrieve a file by email (when it is working
again), etc., use majordomo at math.okstate.edu

Because of all the system changes I had to reconfigure many things. If you
find that something about majordomo or the banach web pages is not working,
send me a message. Remember that all new papers will only be stored at the
Los Alamos archive and its mirrors.

This is an announcement for the paper "Lomonosov's theorem cannot be
extended to chains of four operators" by Vladimir G.Troitsky.


Abstract: We show that the celebrated Lomonosov theorem cannot be improved
  by increasing the number of commuting operators. Specifically, we prove
  that if T is the operator on l_1 without a non-trivial closed invariant
  subspace constructed by C.J.Read, then there are three operators S_1,
  S_2 and K (non-multiples of the identity) such that T commutes with
  S_1, S_1 commutes with S_2, S_2 commutes with K, and K is compact. It
  is also shown that the commutant of T contains only series of T.

New book:

Orthonormal Systems and Banach Space Geometry

This book is concerned with the interplay between harmonic and
functional analysis.  Besides trigonometric functions, orthogonal
systems formed by Haar, Walsh and Rademacher functions as well as by
Gaussian random variables are treated.  The main feature, however, is
the consideration of functions taking their values in a Banach space.
The reader will learn that some well-known classical theorems extend
to the vector-valued case and some not.  This fact is used to create
special classes of operators which turn out to be ideals.  In the
setting of spaces, the text provides a unified approach to such famous
concepts like Rademacher type and cotype, B-convexity,
superreflexivity and the UMD-property.  Large parts of the
presentation are understandable for graduate students of mathematics
with a basic knowledge in Banach space theory.  A long list of
unsolved problems may serve as a starting point for own research.

New book:

An Introduction to Banach Space Theory
Robert E. Megginson
Hardback      ISBN 0-387-98431-3      $64.95
1998   616pp  
Graduate Texts in Mathematics 183
Published: October 1998
Springer-Verlag New York, Inc.

A detailed description of this book, including a section-by-section
synopsis, can be found on the web at

http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~meggin/ibst.html

The purpose of this book is to serve as a text for a graduate course
in functional analysis emphasizing Banach space theory. Its intended
audience is graduate students who have had the standard courses in
analysis and measure theory up to and including elementary properties
of the L_p spaces, but who may not yet have seen any of the basic
results from a first course in functional analysis, such as the
uniform boundedness principle and the various forms of the Hahn-Banach
theorem. See the Table of Contents below for an outline of the
material presented, and the web address given above for a far more
detailed description of the contents.

The book is sprinkled liberally with examples, both to show the theory
at work and to illustrate why certain hypotheses in theorems are
necessary. The book is also sprinkled liberally with historical notes
and citations of original sources, with special attention given to
mentioning dates within the body of the text so that the reader can
get a feeling for the time frame within which the different parts of
Banach space theory evolved.

Over 450 exercises provide supplementary examples and counterexamples
and give students practice in the use of the results developed in the
text.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Vladimir Pestov

This is an announcement for the paper "Amenable groups and measure
concentration on spheres" by Vladimir Pestov.


Abstract: It is proved that a discrete group $G$ is amenable if and only
if for every unitary representation of $G$ in an infinite-dimensional
Hilbert space $\cal H$ the maximal uniform compactification of
the unit sphere $\s_{\cal H}$ has a $G$-fixed point, that is,
the pair $(\s_{\cal H},G)$ has the concentration property in the
sense of Milman. Consequently, the maximal $U({\cal H})$-equivariant
compactification of the sphere in a Hilbert space $\cal H$ has no fixed
points, which answers a 1987 question by Milman.

Subject: Abstract of a paper by Greg Kuperberg
Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "The bottleneck conjecture" by
Greg Kuperberg.


Abstract: The Mahler volume of a centrally symmetric convex body K is
defined as
  M(K) = (Vol K)(Vol K^o), where K^o is the polar body of K. Mahler
  conjectured that this volume is
minimized when K is a cube. We introduce the bottleneck conjecture,
which stipulates that a certain convex body K^diamond in K x K^o has
least volume when K is an ellipsoid. If true, the bottleneck conjecture
would strengthen the best current lower bound on the Mahler volume due
to Bourgain and Milman. We also generalize the bottleneck conjecture
in the context of indefinite orthogonal geometry and prove some special
cases of the generalization.

This is an announcement for the paper "frames of translates" by Peter
G. Casazza, Ole Christensen, and Nigel J. Kalton.


Abstract: We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a subfamily
of regularly spaced translates of a function to form a frame (resp. a
Riesz basis) for its span. One consequence is that if the translates are
taken only from a subset of the natural numbers, then this family is
a frame if and only if it is a Riesz basis. We also consider arbitrary
sequences of translates and show that for sparse sets, having an upper
frame bound is equivalent to the family being a frame sequence. Finally,
we use the fractional Hausdorff dimension to identify classes of exact
frame sequences.

Abstract: We give counterexamples to a conjecture of Bourgain, Casazza,
Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri that if X has a unique unconditional basis
(up to permutation) then so does c_0(X). In particular, we show that
for Tsirelson's space T, every unconditional basis of c_0(T) must be
equivalent to a subsequence of the canonical basis but c_0(T) still fails
to have a unique unconditional basis. We also give some positive results
including a simpler proof that c_0(l_1)has a unique unconditional basis.

Abstract: We develope a local theory for frames on finite dimensional
Hilbert spaces.  In particular, a bounded frame on a finite dimensional
Hilbert space contains a subset which is a good Riesz basis for a
percentage (arbitrarily close to one) of the space. We also construct
a normalized frame for a Hilbert space which contains a subset which is
a Schauder basis for H but does not contain any subset which is a Riesz
basis for H.

This is an announcement for the paper "Every frame is a sum of three
(but not two) orthonormal bases, and other   frame representations"
by Peter G. Casazza.


Abstract: We show that every frame for a Hilbert space H can be written
as a (multiple of a) sum of three orthonormal bases for H. A result of
N.J. Kalton is included which shows that this is best possible in that: A
frame can be represented as a linear combination of two orthonormal bases
if and only if it is a Riesz basis.  We further show that every frame
can be written as a (multiple of a) sum of two normalized tight frames
or as a sum of an orthonormal basis and a Riesz basis for H. Finally,
every frame can be represented as a (multiple of a) average of two
orthonormal bases for a larger Hilbert space.

This is an announcement for the paper "Sections of the difference body"
by M. Rudelson.


Abstract: Let $K$ be an $n$-dimensional convex body. Define the difference
body by $$ K-K= \{ x-y \mid x,y \in K \}. $$ We estimate the volume of
the section of $K-K$ by a linear subspace $F$ via the maximal volume of
sections of $K$ parallel to $F$. We prove that for any $m$-dimensional
subspace $F$ there exists $x \in R^n$, such that $$ vol ((K-K) \cap F)
\le C^m ( \min ( n/m, \sqrt{m} ) )^m \cdot vol (K \cap (F+x)), $$ for
some absolute constant $C$. We show that for small dimensions of $F$
this estimate is exact up to a multiplicative constant.

This is an announcement for the paper "Distances between non--symmetric
convex bodies and the $MM^*$-estimate" by M. Rudelson.


Abstract: Let $K, D$ be $n$-dimensional convex bodes. Define the distance
between $K$ and $D$ as $$ d(K,D) = \inf \{ \lambda \ | \ T K \subset
D+x \subset \lambda \cdot TK \}, $$ where the infimum is taken over
all $x \in R^n$ and all invertible linear operators $T$. Assume that
$0$ is an interior point of $K$ and define $$ M(K) =\int_{S^{n-1}} \|
\omega \|_K d \mu (\omega), $$ where $\mu$ is the uniform measure on the
sphere. Let $K^{\circ}$ be the polar body of $K$. We use the difference
body estimate to prove that $K$ can be embedded into $R^n$ so that $$
M(K) \cdot M(K^{\circ}) \le C n^{1/3} \log^a n $$ for some absolute
constants $C$ and $a$. We apply this result to show that the distance
between two $n$-dimensional convex bodies does not exceed $n^{4/3}$
up to a logarithmic factor.

This is an announcement for the paper "Symmetric approximation of
frames and bases in Hilbert spaces" by M. Frank, V. I. Paulsen and
T. R. Tiballi .


Abstract: We consider existence and uniqueness of symmetric approximation
of frames by normalized tight frames and of symmetric orthogonalization
of bases by orthonormal bases in Hilbert spaces H . More precisely,
we determine whether a given frame or basis possesses a normalized
tight frame or orthonormal basis that is quadratically closest to it,
if there exists such frames or bases at all. A crucial role is played by
the Hilbert-Schmidt property of the operator (P-|F|) , where F is the
adjoint operator of the frame transform F*: H --> l_2 of the initial
frame or basis and (1-P) is the projection onto the kernel of F . The
result is useful in wavelet theory.

Status: R

This is an announcement for the paper "Injective isometries in Orlicz
spaces" by Beata Randrianantoanina.


Abstract: We show that injective isometries in Orlicz space $L_M$ have
to preserve disjointness, provided that Orlicz function $M$ satisfies
$\Delta_2$-condition, has a continuous second derivative $M''$, satisfies
another ``smoothness type'' condition and either
  $\lim_{t\to0} M''(t) = \infty$ or $M''(0) = 0$ and $M''(t)>0$ for
  all $t>0$.
The fact that surjective isometries of any rearrangement-invariant
function space have to preserve disjointness has been determined
before. However dropping the assumption of surjectivity invalidates the
general method. In this paper we use a differential technique.
