Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday May 22 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Pedro Tradacete, Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas Title: Free Banach Lattices Abstract. We will start recalling the construction of the free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space. This notion provides a new link betweeen Banach space and Banach lattice properties. We will show how this can be useful to tackle some problems and discuss some open questions. The material of the talk is partially based on the following papers: * The free Banach lattice generated by a Banach space by Antonio Avilés, José Rodríguez, Pedro Tradacete, J. Funct. Anal. 274 (2018), no. 10, 2955-2977<https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.08147> * The free Banach lattices generated by $\ell_p$ and $c_0$ by Antonio Avilés, Pedro Tradacete, Ignacio Villanueva, Rev.Mat. Complutense 32 (2019), no. 2, 353-364.<https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.02553> * You can add the Webinars to your calendar by clicking on attachment * For more information about the past and future talks, and videos please visit the webinar website http://www.math.unt.edu/~bunyamin/banach Upcoming schedule May 29 Miguel Martin, University of Granada On Quasi norm attaining operators between Banach spaces Thank you, and best regards, Bunyamin Sari

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday May 15 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Gideon Schechtman Weizmann Institute of Science Title: The number of closed ideals in $L(L_p)$. Abstract. I intend to review what is known about the closed ideals in the Banach algebras $L(L_p(0,1))$. Then concentrate on a recent result of Bill Johnson and myself showing that for $1<p\not= 2<\infty$ there are exactly $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ different closed ideals in $L(L_p(0,1))$.

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday May 8 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Chris Gartland, University of Illinois Urbana Champagne Title: Lipschitz Free Spaces over Locally Compact Metric Spaces Abstract. The talk is generally about questions of local-to-global phenomena in metric and Banach space theory. There are two motivating questions: Let X be a complete, locally compact metric space. (1) If every compact subset of X biLipschitz embeds into a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property, is the same true of X? (2) If the Lipschitz free space over K has the Radon-Nikodym property for every compact subset K of X, is the same true for the Lipschitz free space over X? We will first overview the theory of non-biLipschitz embeddability of metric spaces into Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodym property, and then discuss an idea developed in an attempt to answer (2). We will show how this idea may be used to answer modified versions of (2) when the Radon-Nikodym property is replaced by the Schur or approximation property.

Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Dan Freeman, St Louis University Title: A Schauder basis for $L_2$ consisting of non-negative functions Abstract. We will discuss what coordinate systems can be created for $L_p(\mathbb R)$ using only non-negative functions with $1\leq p<\infty$. In particular, we will describe the construction of a Schauder basis for $L_2(\mathbb R)$ consisting of only non-negative functions. We will conclude with a discussion of some related open problems. This is joint work with Alex Powell and Mitchell Taylor.

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday April 24 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Tomasz Kania, Czech Academy Title: Quantifying Kottman's constant<http://www.math.unt.edu/~bunyamin/banach#Tomasz%20Kania> Abstract. Kottman's constant, K(X), of a Banach space X is the supremum over those d>0 for which the unit sphere of X contains a d-separated sequence. It is known that K(X)>1 for every infinite-dimensional space X (the Elton–Odell theorem). I will present certain estimates related to interpolation spaces, twisted sums, and other classes of Banach spaces X concerning the isomorphic Kottman constant, defined as the infimum of K(Y), where Y ranges over all renormings of X. I will also comment on other related constants (such as the disjoint one defined for Banach lattices) and their symmetric analogs. This talk is based on papers with J. M. F. Castillo, M, González, P. L. Papini (PAMS 2020+)<https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.01626> and P. Hájek, T. Russo (JFA 2018)<https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.11501>.

Banach spaces webinar Friday 4/10 by Pavlos Motakis

Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday April 10th 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Pavlos Motakis, The University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign Title: Coarse Universality Abstract. The Bourgain index is a tool that can be used to show that if a separable Banach space contains isomorphic copies of all members of a class C then it must contain isomorphic copies of all separable Banach spaces. This can be applied, e.g., to the class C of separable reflexive spaces. Notably, the embedding of each member of C does not witness the universality of X. We investigate a natural coarse analogue of this index which can be used, e.g., to show that a separable metric space that contains coarse copies of all members in certain “small" classes of metric spaces C then X contains a coarse copy of $c_0$ and thus of all separable metric spaces. This is joint work with F. Baudier, G. Lancien, and Th. Schlumprecht.
