Weakly compact approximation in Banach spaces
Edward Odell ; Hans-Olav Tylli ;
Date 24 Sep 2003
Subject Functional Analysis MSC-class: 46B28 | math.FA
AbstractThe Banach space $E$ has the weakly compact approximation property (W.A.P. for short) if there is a constant $C < infty$ so that for any weakly compact set $D subset E$ and $epsilon > 0$ there is a weakly compact operator $V: E o E$ satisfying $sup_{xin D} || x - Vx || < epsilon$ and $|| V|| leq C$. We give several examples of Banach spaces both with and without this approximation property. Our main results demonstrate that the James-type spaces from a general class of quasi-reflexive spaces (which contains the classical James’ space $J$) have the W.A.P, but that James’ tree space $JT$ fails to have the W.A.P. It is also shown that the dual $J^*$ has the W.A.P. It follows that the Banach algebras $W(J)$ and $W(J^*)$, consisting of the weakly compact operators, have bounded left approximate identities. Among the other results we obtain a concrete Banach space $Y$ so that $Y$ fails to have the W.A.P., but $Y$ has this approximation property without the uniform bound $C$.
