Abstract

Motivated by the barycenter problem in optimal transportation theory, Kolesnikov--Werner recently extended the notion of the Legendre duality relation for two functions to the case for multiple functions. We further generalize the duality relation and then establish the centered Gaussian saturation property for a Blaschke--Santaló type inequality associated with it. Our approach to the understanding such a generalized Legendre duality relation is based on our earlier observation that directly links Legendre duality with the inverse Brascamp--Lieb inequality. More precisely, for a large family of degenerate Brascamp--Lieb data, we prove that the centered Gaussian saturation property for the inverse Brascamp--Lieb inequality holds true when inputs are restricted to even and log-concave functions. As an application to convex geometry, we establish the most important case of a conjecture of Kolesnikov and Werner about the Blaschke--Santaló inequality for multiple even functions as well as multiple symmetric convex bodies. Furthermore, in the direction of information theory and optimal transportation theory, this provides an affirmative answer to another conjecture of Kolesnikov--Werner about a Talagrand type inequality for multiple even probability measures that involves the Wasserstein barycenter.

The Weyl-von Neumann theorem for antilinear skew-self-adjoint operators

In this article, we prove the Weyl--von Neumann theorem for bounded antilinear skew-self-adjoint operators. More specifically, we prove the following: Let $A$ be a bounded antilinear skew-self-adjoint operator on a separable Hilbert space $H$ whose kernel is either even dimensional or infinite dimensional. Let $1 0$ there exists an antilinear block skew-diagonal operator $D$ and an antilinear skew-self-adjoint Schatten $p$-class operator $K$ such that $A=K+D$ with $\|K\|_{p}<ε$. As a consequence, we prove the Weyl--von Neumann theorem for complex skew-symmetric operators: Let $τ$ be a conjugation on $H$ and let $T$ be a bounded linear operator $τ$-skew-symmetric with $\dim N(T)=\infty$ or $\dim N(T)$ is even. Let $1 0$, there exists a $τ$-skew-symmetric Schatten $p$-class operator $K$, a skew-symmetric block diagonal operator $D$ and a unitary operator $U$ such that $T=K+UDU^{tr}$ and $\|K\|_{p}<ε$, where $U^{tr}$ is the transpose of $U$ with respect to an orthonormal basis ${\{e_n:n\in \mathbb N}\}$ such that $τ(e_n)=e_n$ for each $n\in \mathbb N$. Furthermore, the above result holds even without any assumption on the dimension of $N(T)$, provided that $N(T)=N(T^*)$.

Schur bounded patterns, submajorisation and operator Lipschitz functions

A Schur bounded pattern is a subset $S\subset \mathbb{N}^2$ such that Schur multiplication by every bounded function on $\mathbb{N}^2$ supported on $S$ defines a bounded linear operator in the norm of $\mathcal{B}(\ell_2(\mathbb{N})).$ Schur bounded patterns were characterised by Davidson-Donsig as being unions of row-bounded and column-bounded sets. We study the analogous question for sets $S$ such that element-wise multiplication by every bounded function on $S$ is bounded in ideals of compact operators that are not closed under submajorisation, in particular the Schatten ideals $\mathcal{L}_p$ with $0<p<1$ and the weak Schatten ideal $\mathcal{L}_{1,\infty}.$ Conversely we characterise the ideals that are not closed under submajorisation by their Schur bounded patterns. This has implications for the functions which are Lipschitz in the norm of ideals that are not closed under submajorisation. In particular such functions must be differentiable and have derivative that is asymptotically constant at infinity.

Derivatives of Tensor Products and Applications to Spaces $C(K^n,X)$

In this paper, we develop an abstract theory of derivatives for Banach spaces based on objects that we call \emph{bidual assignments}. This framework encompasses both the Semadeni derivative and the recently introduced Semadeni--Pełczyński derivative. More generally, suitable ideals of subsets of dual spaces give rise to a broad family of derivatives within this setting. We establish direct-sum and tensor-product formulas for these derivatives, showing that they behave naturally with respect to direct sums and injective tensor products. We then obtain explicit descriptions of derivatives associated with compact trees and finite products of compact lines. In particular, we compute iterated derivatives and use them to derive isomorphic invariants for vector-valued spaces of continuous functions. As one consequence, if $K=\prod_{i=1}^n K_i$ and $L=\prod_{j=1}^m L_j$, where $n,m\geq1$ and all the factors are compact lines of uncountable character, then, for $1\leq p,q<\infty$, \[ C(K,\ell_p)\sim C(L,\ell_q) \] implies that $n=m$ and $p=q$. We also establish classification results for spaces of the form $C(K^n,X)$. In particular, for uncountable ordinals $α$ and $β$, an integer $n\geq1$, and Banach spaces $X$ satisfying suitable rigidity assumptions, we prove that \[ C([0,α]^n,X)\sim C([0,β]^n,X) \quad\text{if and only if}\quad C([0,α])\sim C([0,β]). \] This extends Kislyakov's classification of the spaces $C([0,α])$ and its vector-valued extension due to Galego to finite powers of ordinal intervals.
