Recent Results on Weakly Compact Operators on Banach Lattices

There have been many really positive results co ncerning the weakly compact operators on Banach lattices in terms of their order structure as well as in many respects. This paper will survey some known recent results in this area.

Every Weakly Compact Set Can Be Uniformly Embedded into a Reflexive Banach Space

Based on an application of the Davis-Figiel-Johnson-Pelzyski procedure, this note shows that every weakly compact subset of a Banach space can be uniformly embedded into a reflexive Banach space. As its application, we present the recent renorming theorems for reflexive spaces of Odell- Schlumprecht and Hajek-Johanis can be extended and localized to weakly compact convex subsets of an arbitrary Banach space.

On Absolute Uniform Retracts, Uniform Approximation Property and Super Weakly Compact Sets of Banach Spaces

In this paper,we show that every super weakly compact convex subset of a Banach space is an absolute uniform retract,and that it also admits the uniform compact approximation property.These can be regarded as extensions of Lindenstrauss and Kalton's corresponding results.

THREE KINDS OF DENTABILITIES IN BANACH SPACES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

In this paper,we study some dentabilities in Banach spaces which are closely related to the famous Radon-Nikodym property.We introduce the concepts of the weak^(*)-weak denting point and the weak^(*)-weak^(*)denting point of a set.These are the generalizations of the weak^(*)denting point of a set in a dual Banach space.By use of the weak^(*)-weak denting point,we characterize the very smooth space,the point of weak^(*)-weak continuity,and the extreme point of a unit ball in a dual Banach space.Meanwhile,we also characterize an approximatively weak compact Chebyshev set in dual Banach spaces.Moreover,we define the nearly weak dentability in Banach spaces,which is a generalization of near dentability.We prove the necessary and sufficient conditions of the reflexivity by nearly weak dentability.We also obtain that nearly weak dentability is equivalent to both the approximatively weak compactness of Banach spaces and the w-strong proximinality of every closed convex subset of Banach spaces.

A NOTE IN APPROXIMATIVE COMPACTNESS AND MIDPOINT LOCALLY K-UNIFORM ROTUNDITY IN BANACH SPACES

In this article, we prove the following results： （1） A Banach space X is weak midpoint locally k-uniformly rotund if and only if every closed ball of X is an approximatively weakly compact k-Chebyshev set; （2） A Banach space X is midpoint locally k-uniformly rotund if and only if every closed ball of X is an approximatively compact k-Chebyshev set.

τ-CHEBYSHEV AND τ-COCHEBYSHEV SUBPSACES OF BANACH SPACES

The concepts of quasi-Chebyshev and weakly-Chebyshev and σ-Chebyshev were defined [3 - 7], andas a counterpart to best approximation in normed linear spaces, best coapprozimation was introduced by Franchetti and Furi^[1]. In this research, we shall define τ-Chebyshev subspaces and τ-cochebyshev subspaces of a Banach space, in which the property τ is compact or weakly-compact, respectively. A set of necessary and sufficient theorems under which a subspace is τ-Chebyshev is defined.

KY FAN TYPE BEST APPROXIMATION THEOREM FOR A CLASS OF FACTORIZABLE MULTIFUNCTIONS

An existence result on Ky Fan type best approximation is proved. For this pur- pose, a class of factorizable multifunctions and the other one being a demicontinuous, rela- tive almost quasi-convex, onto function on an approximately weakly compact, convex sub- set of Hausdorff locally convex topological vector space are used. As consequence, this result extends the best approximation results of Basha and Veeramani[8] and many others.

BEST PROXIMITY PAIR THEOREM IN METRIZABLE TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACES

The object of this paper is to prove an existence result on best proximity pair. For this purpose, the class of factorizable multifunctions in approximately weakly compact, convex subset of metrizable topological vector space is used. As consequence, our theorem generalizes the result of Basha and Veeramani. Finally, certain known results have also been obtained as corollaries in this work.

The Asymptotic Spectrum and Accumulation of Transport Operator in Slab Geometry

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic spectrum and accumulation of a transport operator A in slab geometry with continuous energy, anisotropic scattering and inhomogeneous medium. In L^p （1 ≤ p 〈 ＋∞） space we show a series of new results for the asymptotic point spectrum and accumulation of A.

Composition Operators with Linear Fractional Symbols on Vector-Valued Bergman Spaces

Let φ and ψ be linear fractional self\|maps of the unit disk D and X a separable Hilbert space. In this paper we completely characterize the weak compactness of the product operators of a composition operation C φ with another one's adjoint C * ψ on the vector\|valued Bergman space B 1(X) for forms C φC * ψ and C * ψC φ.

COMPOSITION OPERATORS ON ANALYTIC VECTOR-VALUED NEVANLINNA CLASSES

Let φ be an analytic self-map of the complex unit disk and X a Banach space. This paper studies the action of composition operator Cφ： f→foφ on the vector-valued Nevanlinna classes N（X） and Na（X）. Certain criteria for such operators to be weakly compact are given. As a consequence, this paper shows that the composition operator Cφ is weakly compact on N（X） and Na（X） if and only if it is weakly compact on the vector-valued Hardy space H^1 （X） and Bergman space B1（X） respectively.

Super Weak Compactness and Uniform Eberlein Compacta

We prove that a topological space is uniform Eberlein compact iff it is homeomorphic to a super weakly compact subset C of a Banach space such that the closed convex hull coC of C is super weakly compact. We also show that a Banach space X is super weakly compactly generated iff the dual unit ball B;of X;in its weak star topology is affinely homeomorphic to a super weakly compactly convex subset of a Banach space.

On Weak Well-posedness of the Nearest Point and Mutually Nearest Point Problems in Banach Spaces

Let G be a nonempty closed subset of a Banach space X.Let B(X)be the family of nonempty bounded closed subsets of X endowed with the Hausdorff distance and B_(G)(X)={A∈B(X):A∩G=φ},where the closure is taken in the metric space(B(X),H).For x∈X and F∈B_(G)(X),we denote the nearest point problem inf{||x-g||:g∈G}by min(x,G)and the mutually nearest point problem inf{||f-g||:f∈ F,g∈G}by min(F,G).In this paper,parallel to well-posedness of the problems min(a:,G)and mm(F,G)which are defined by De Blasi et al.,we further introduce the weak well-posedness of the problems min(x,G)and min(F,G).Under the assumption that the Banach space X has some geometric properties,we prove a series of results on weak well-posedness of min(x,G)and min(F,G).We also give two sufficient conditions such that two classes of subsets of X are almost Chebyshev sets.

Similarity Degrees for the Crossed Product of von Neumann Algebras

In this paper, we will estimate an upper bound for the similarity degree of the crossed product of a hyperfinite finite von Neumann algebra by weakly compact action of an infinite discrete group. We will also improve some upper bounds for similarity degrees of some finite von Neumann algebras.

Strong Minkowski Separation and Co-Drop Property

In the framework of topological vector spaces, we give a characterization of strong Minkowski separation, introduced by Cheng, et al., in terms of convex body separation. From this, several results on strong Minkowski separation are deduced. Using the results, we prove a drop theorem involving weakly countably compact sets in locally convex spaces. Moreover, we introduce the notion of the co-drop property and show that every weakly countably compact set has the co-drop property. If the underlying locally convex space is quasi-complete, then a bounded weakly closed set has the co-drop property if and only if it is weakly countably compact.
