The theory of compact linear operators between Banach spaces has a classical core and is familiar to many. Perhaps lesser known is the factorization of compact maps through a closed subspace of c_0 . This factorization theorem has a number of important connections and consequences analogous to how the ideals of continuous linear operators factoring […]
Noncommutative metric geometry is the study of certain noncommuative algebras in the context of metric geometry. For instance, the Lipschitz constant (which measures the maximum slope obtained by a real-valued continuous function on a metric space (allowed to be infinite)) is a vital tool in metric geometry, and a main feature of noncommutative metric geometry […]
Let \mathcal{L}(X,Y) denote the normed vector space of all continuous operators from \(X\) to \(Y\), \(X^*\) be the dual space of \(X\), and \(\mathcal{K}(X,Y)\) denote the collection of all compact operators from \(X\) to \(Y\). Denote by \(T^{*} \in \mathcal{L}(Y^{*}, X^{*} )\) the adjoint operator of \(T\in \mathcal{L} (X, Y)\). The well known theorem of […]
