Handbook of the geometry of Banach spaces by W.B. Johnson, J. Lindenstrauss

By W.B. Johnson, J. Lindenstrauss

Offering an outline of such a lot elements of contemporary Banach area thought and its purposes, this guide bargains updated surveys via a number of specialist authors. The surveys speak about the relation of the topic with such parts as harmonic research, advanced research, classical convexity, chance thought, operator concept, combinatorics, common sense, geometric degree idea and partial differential equations. includes all of the heritage wanted for examining the other bankruptcy. all of the 21 articles after his is dedicated to at least one particular course of Banach house concept or its functions. every one article features a encouraged advent in addition to an exposition of the most effects, equipment and open difficulties in its particular path. Many articles comprise new proofs of recognized effects in addition to expositions of proofs that are demanding to find within the literature or are just defined within the unique study papers. The guide may be invaluable to researchers in Banach idea, in addition to graduate scholars and mathematicians who are looking to get an concept of many of the advancements in Banach area conception.

This is discussed in [26]. We conclude this section by mentioning the geometric meaning of the RadonNikod´ym property or RNP, an analytical concept that will be discussed in section 7. A slice of a closed bounded convex set C is a set of the form S(C, x∗ , α) = {x ∈ C : x∗ (x) ≥ supy∈C x∗ (y) − α} with x∗ in X ∗ and α > 0. C is called dentable provided that for each ǫ > 0 there is a slice of C which has diameter smaller than ǫ. In [8, Th. 9] and [3, Th. 8] it is shown that X has the RNP if and only if every nonempty closed bounded convex subset of X is dentable.

E. u and every n. For a point u for which this holds for every n we have lim supr→0 m(B(0, r))−1 B(u,r) lim supr→0 m(B(0, r))−1 f (v) − f (u) dv ≤ B(u,r) f (v) − xn + xn − f (u) dv = 2 f (u) − xn . Since {xn }∞ n=1 is dense in X we get (13), as desired. e. The Banach space Lp (µ, X), 1 ≤ p < ∞, is defined to be the space of all measurable X valued functions for which f p := ( f p dµ)1/p < ∞ (with the usual modification when p = ∞). The simple functions which are supported on sets of finite measure are dense in Lp (µ, X), 1 ≤ p < ∞.

From the identities Vn 1,∞ = n−1/2 and Vn 2,2 = 1 interpolation gives us the inequality Vn p,p∗ ≤ n1/2−1/p . Since Vn∗ = Vn−1 we see that d(ℓnp , ℓnp∗ ) ≤ Vn p,p∗ Vn∗ p∗ ,p ≤ n1/2−1/p I 2,p Vn∗ 2,2 I p∗ ,2 = n1/2−1/p n1/p−1/2 · 1 · n1/p−1/2 = n1/p−1/2 . In the general case 1 ≤ p < 2 < r ≤ ∞, by replacing the pair {p, r} by {r ∗ , p∗ } if necessary, we can assume that p∗ ≤ r. Then the triangle inequality for the Banach-Mazur distance gives us d(ℓnp , ℓnr ) ≤ n1/p−1/2 d(ℓnp∗ , ℓnr ) = n1/2−1/r . g.
