Hello,

The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday May 14 at 9AM Central time. Please join us at

https://unt.zoom.us/j/83807914306

Speaker: Harrison Gaebler, University of Kansas Title: Asymptotic Geometry of Banach Spaces that have a Well-Behaved Riemann Integral

Abstract: Banach spaces for which Riemann integrability implies Lebesgue almost everywhere continuity are said to have the Property of Lebesgue, or to be ``PL-spaces." It is an open problem to derive a full characterization of PL-spaces. In this talk, I will first give a brief overview of Riemann and Darboux integrability for Banach-valued functions, and I will then introduce the Property of Lebesgue with some relevant examples. I will next show how the Property of Lebesgue is connected to the asymptotic geometry (both global and local) of the underlying Banach space, and I will present three new results in this direction that are to appear later this year in Real Analysis Exchange. Finally, I will discuss two possibilities for future research on characterizing PL-spaces, and a connection between the Property of Lebesgue and the distortion of the unit sphere as well.
