Title: Projections on Banach spaces and a lifting property of operators
Prof. Maria Fernanda Botelho
Department of Mathematical Sciences
The University Of Memphis
Abstract: In this talk I will present properties of contractive projections and explain their role in the existence of norm preserving lifts of operators. A pair of Banach spaces (X, J), with J a closed subspace of X, has the quotient lifting property (QLP) iff for every space Y and S ∈ L(Y, X/J), there is Ŝ ∈ L(Y, X)such that S = π ◦ Ŝ, where π denotes the quotient map from X onto X/J. This property was motivated by Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri lifting property for Banach spaces.
A pair of Banach spaces (X,J) has the QLP iff J is the kernel of a contractive projection on X. Several illustrative examples will be discussed.
