Hello, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday March 5 at 9AM Central time. Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/83807914306 Speaker: Antonio Avilés López, Universidad de Murcia Title: Sequential octahedrality and L-orthogonal elements Abstract: Given a Banach space $X$, we consider the following two isometric properties, variations on the notion of octahedrality that can be traced back to the work of B. Maurey: 1. There is an element $e^{**}$ in the sphere of the bidual such that $\|e^{**}+x\| = 1 + \|x\|$ for every $x\in X$. 2. There is a sequence $(e_n)$ in the sphere of $X$ such that $\lim_n \|e_n+x\| = 1 + \|x\|$ Uncountable sums provide examples that 1 does not imply 2. But the converse is unclear. It is natural to conjecture that a weak$^*$-cluster point of the sequence $(e_n)$ would give the desired $e^{**}$. This turns out to be independent of the usual axioms of set theory. The proof involves understanding different kinds of ultrafilters that may or may not exist, as well as a filter version of the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, similar to those considered by V. Kadets and A. Leonov. This is a joint work (in progress) with G. Mart\'{\i}nez Cervantes and A. Rueda Zoca.

Hello, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday February 26 at 9AM Central time. Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/83807914306 Speaker: Ben Wallis (Kishwaukee College) Title: Garling and Lorentz Sequence Spaces Abstract. We survey some recent results of Garling and Lorentz sequence spaces. Namely, we show that Garling sequence spaces have a unique subsymmetric basis which is not symmetric, are complementably homogeneous, and uniformly complementably lp-saturated. We also exhibit, under certain conditions, a chain of uncountably many closed ideals in its operator algebra, and then do the same for the Lorentz sequence spaces. Finally, we find a nontrivial complemented subspace which is not isomorphic to lp.

Hello, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday February 19 at 9AM Central time. Please join us at https://yorku.zoom.us/j/92333379646?pwd=MkNyYWpmYTg3VWN3S2dON1kxU0pwdz09<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyorku.zoo…> Note: Please use the above link not the usual webinar link. Moreover, if you receive an automated reminder email an hour before the talk please ignore it. We are experiencing an unprecedented winter storm in TX and all school systems are down so I cannot access to the webinar account. Thank you to Pavlos Motakis for hosting this week! ********************************** Speaker: Sophie Grivaux (University of Lille) Title: Typical properties of contractions on $\ell_p$-spaces Abstract: Given a separable Banach space $X$ of infinite dimension, one can consider on the space $\mathcal{B}(X)$ of bounded linear operators on $X$ several natural topologies which turn the closed unit ball $B_1(X)=\{T\in\mathcal{B}(X);||T||\le 1\}$ into a Polish space, i.e. a separable and completely metrizable space. In these talk, I will present some results concerning typical properties in the Baire Category sense of operators of $B_1(X)$ for these topologies when $X$ is a $\ell_p$-space, our main interest being to determine whether typical contractions on these spaces have a non-trivial invariant subspace or not.

Hello, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday February 12 at 9AM Central time. Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/83807914306 Speaker: Mikael de la Salle (ENS Lyon) Title: On a duality between Banach spaces and operators Abstract: Most classical local properties of a Banach spaces (for example type or cotype, UMD) are defined in terms of the boundedness of vector-valued operators between Lp spaces or their subspaces. It was in fact proved by Hernandez in the early 1980s that this is the case of any property that is stable by Lp direct sums and finite representability. His result can be seen as one direction of a bipolar theorem for a non-linear duality between Banach spaces and operators. I will present the other direction and describe the bipolar of any class of operators for this duality. The talk will be based on my recent preprint arxiv:2101.07666.

Hello, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday January 22 at 9AM Central time. Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/83807914306 Speaker: Ramón Aliaga (Universitat Politècnica de València) Title: The Radon-Nikodým and Schur properties in Lipschitz-free spaces Abstract: In this talk I will sketch the proof that, for Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$ over complete metric spaces $M$, several Banach space properties are equivalent including the Radon-Nikodým property, the Schur property, the Krein-Milman property, or not containing copies of $L_1$. These properties hold exactly when $M$ is a purely 1-unrectifiable metric space. For compact $M$, these properties are also equivalent to $\mathcal{F}(M)$ being a dual Banach space. The talk will be based on joint work with C. Gartland, C. Petitjean and A. Procházka.

Hello, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday January 15 at 9AM Central time. Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/83807914306 Speaker: Richard Lechner (Johannes Kepler Universität Linz) Title: Restriced invertibility, subsymmetric bases and factorization Abstract: Given an unconditional normalized basis $(e_j)_{j=1}^n$ of a Banach space $X_n$, we consider conditions under which an operator $T\colon X_n\to X_n$ with ``large diagonal'' can be inverted when restricted to $X_\sigma = [e_j : j\in\sigma]$ for a ``large'' set $\sigma\subset \{1,\ldots,n\}$ (restricted invertibility). We then discuss restricted invertibility and its close connection to finite dimensional quantitative factorization. In the second part of the talk, we show that subsymmetric Schauder bases $(e_j)$ of an infinite dimensional Banach space $X$ have the factorization property, i.e.\@ the identity $I_X$ on $X$ factors through every bounded operator $T\colon X\to X$ with large diagonal. In Banach spaces with a Schauder basis, this type of result can often be proved using gliding-hump techniques, but in non-separable Banach spaces gliding-hump techniques seem unfeasible. However, if $(e_j^*)$ is a non-$\ell^1$-splicing (there is no disjointly supported $\ell^1$-sequence in $X$) subsymmetric weak$^*$ Schauder basis for the dual $X^*$ of $X$, $(e_j^*)$ also has the factorization property.
