Workshop in Analysis and Probability
Department of Mathematics
Texas A&M University
Summer 2015
The Summer 2015 Workshop in Analysis and Probability at Texas A&M
University will be in session from July 1 to August 2. All activities will
take
place in the Blocker Building. The homepage of the Workshop can be found
at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop
The Summer Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS)
will be held July 31 - August 2. Its homepage is located at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/sumirfas2015
July 27 - 31 there will be a Concentration Week, "From Commutators to
BCP Operators", organized by Hari Bercovici and Vern Paulsen.
The meeting will focus on the areas of mathematics developed by Carl
Pearcy,
who is turning 80 this year, and aims to promote connections between
several
different themes in operator theory which have been driving recent
progress in
the subject. Topics will include quasidiagonality, commutators of
operators, and
invariant subspaces. The homepage of the Concentration Week is located at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/concweek15
The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science
Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young
researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

This is an announcement for the paper "The version for compact operators
of Lindenstrauss properties A and B" by Miguel Martin.
Abstract:
It has been very recently discovered that there are compact linear
operators between Banach spaces which cannot be approximated by norm
attaining operators. The aim of this expository paper is to give an
overview of those examples and also of sufficient conditions ensuring
that compact linear operators can be approximated by norm attaining
operators. To do so, we introduce the analogues for compact operators
of Lindenstrauss properties A and B.

This is an announcement for the paper "On different definitions of
numerical range" by Miguel Martin.
Abstract:
We study the relation between the intrinsic and the spatial numerical
ranges with the recently introduced ``approximated'' spatial numerical
range. As main result, we show that the intrinsic numerical range always
coincides with the convex hull of the approximated spatial numerical
range. Besides, we show sufficient conditions and necessary conditions
to assure that the approximated spatial numerical range coincides with
the closure of the spatial numerical range.

This is an announcement for the paper "Ball generated property of direct
sums of Banach spaces" by Jan-David Hardtke.
Abstract:
A Banach space $X$ is said to have the ball generated property (BGP)
if every closed, bounded, convex subset of $X$ can be written as an
intersection of finite unions of closed balls. In 2002 S. Basu proved
that the BGP is stable under (infinite) $c_0$- and $\ell^p$-sums for
$1<p<\infty$. We will show here that for any absolute, normalised norm
$\|\cdot\|_E$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ satisfying a certain smoothness condition
the direct sum $X\oplus_E Y$ of two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ with
respect to $\|\cdot\|_E$ enjoys the BGP whenever $X$ and $Y$ have the BGP.

This is an announcement for the paper "Representation of increasing
convex functionals with countably additive measures" by Patrick Cheridito,
Michael Kupper and Ludovic Tangpi.
Abstract:
We derive two types of representation results for increasing convex
functionals in terms of countably additive measures. The first is
a max-representation of functionals defined on spaces of real-valued
continuous functions and the second a sup-representation of functionals
defined on spaces of real-valued measurable functions.

This is an announcement for the paper "Proximity to $\ell_p$ and $c_0$
in Banach spaces" by Ryan Causey.
Abstract:
We construct a class of minimal trees and use these trees to establish a
number of coloring theorems on general trees. Among the applications of
these trees and coloring theorems are quantification of the Bourgain
$\ell_p$ and $c_0$ indices, dualization of the Bourgain $c_0$ index,
establishing sharp positive and negative results for constant reduction,
and estimating the Bourgain $\ell_p$ index of an arbitrary Banach space
$X$ in terms of a subspace $Y$ and the quotient $X/Y$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Diagonals of injective tensor
products of Banach lattices with bases" by Donghai Ji, Byunghoon Lee
and Qingying Bu.
Abstract:
In this paper, we show that four main diagonal spaces of injective
tensor products are pairwise isometrically isomorphic. When E is a Banach
lattice, we show that the tensor diagonal of E is a 1-unconditional basic
sequence in both the n-fold injective tensor product of E and the n-fold
symmetric injective tensor product of E.

This is an announcement for the paper "k-Extreme Points in Symmetric
Spaces of Measurable Operators" by Malgorzata M. Czerwinska and Anna
Kaminska.
Abstract:
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful,
normal, semifinite trace $\tau$ and $E$ be a strongly symmetric
Banach function space on $[0,\tau(1))$. We show that an operator
$x$ in the unit sphere of $E\left(\mathcal{M},\tau\right)$ is
$k$-extreme, $k\in\mathbb N$, whenever its singular value function
$\mu(x)$ is $k$-extreme and one of the following conditions hold (i)
$\mu(\infty,x)=\lim_{t\to\infty}\mu(t,x)=0$ or (ii) $n(x)\mathcal{M}
n(x^*)=0$ and $|x|\geq \mu(\infty,x)s(x)$, where $n(x)$ and $s(x)$
are null and support projections of $x$, respectively. The converse is
true whenever $\mathcal{M}$ is non-atomic. The global $k$-rotundity
property follows, that is if $\mathcal{M}$ is non-atomic then $E$
is $k$-rotund if and only if $E\left(\mathcal{M},\tau\right)$ is
$k$-rotund. As a consequence of the noncommutive results we obtain that
$f$ is a $k$-extreme point of the unit ball of the strongly symmetric
function space $E$ if and only if its decreasing rearrangement $\mu(f)$
is $k$-extreme and $|f|\geq \mu(\infty,f)$. We conclude with the corollary
on orbits $\Omega(g)$ and $\Omega'(g)$. We get that $f$ is a $k$-extreme
point of the orbit $\Omega(g)$, $g\in L_1+L_{\infty}$, or $\Omega'(g)$,
$g\in L_1[0,\alpha)$, $\alpha<\infty$, if and only if $\mu(f)=\mu(g)$
and $|f|\geq \mu(\infty,f)$. From this we obtain a characterization of
$k$-extreme points in Marcinkiewicz spaces.
