Dear all, The next Banach spaces webinar is on Friday December 4 at 9AM CDT (e.g., Dallas, TX time). Please join us at https://unt.zoom.us/j/512907580 Speaker: Thomas Schlumprecht (Texas A&M) Title: Banach Spaces which admit lots of closed Operator Ideals Abstract. We present general conditions which imply that for a Banach space $X$, which has an unconditional basis, the space of bounded linear operators $ L(X)$ has $2^{\frak c}$ ``small'' closed ideals (ideals which are generated by finitely strictly singular operators). The class of spaces which satisfy these conditions include:\\ $\ell_p\oplus \ell_q$, $1<p<q<\infty$,\\ $\ell_1\oplus \ell_p$, $c_0\oplus \ell_p$, $\ell_\infty\oplus \ell_p$, $1<p<\infty$,\\ $T^p_\xi\oplus T^q_\xi$, $1< p<q<\infty$, $T^p_\xi$ being the $p$-convexification of the Tsireson space of order $\xi<\omega_1$,\\ $S^p_\xi$, $1\le p<\infty$, $S^p_\xi$ being the $p$-convexification of the Schreier space of order $\xi<\omega_1$, Using arguments by Beanland, Kania, Laustsen, as well as Gasparis and Leung we show that $\mathcal L(S^p_\xi)$, and $\mathcal L(T^p_\xi)$, for $\xi<\omega$, has $2^{\frak c}$ ``large'' closed ideals (ideals generated by projections on subspaces which are spanned by subsequences of the basis). Moreover, using an unpublished argument by Johnson, and showing a combinatorial result on higher order Schreier families, we also deduce that $\mathcal L(T^p_\xi)$, for $\xi<\omega_1$, has $2^{\frak c}$ large closed ideals. Part of this talk is on joint work with Dan Freeman and \'Andras Zsak.
