Abstract

For tuples of compact operators $\mathcal{T}=(T_1,\ldots, T_d)$ and $\mathcal{S}=(S_1,$ $\ldots,S_d)$ on Banach spaces over a field $\mathbb{F}$, considering the joint $p$-operator norms on the tuples, we study $dist(\mathcal{T},\mathbb{F}^d\mathcal{S}),$ the distance of $\mathcal{T}$ from the $d$-dimensional subspace $\mathcal{F}^d\mathcal{S}:=\{\textbf{z}\mathcal{S}:\textbf{z}\in \mathbb{F}^d\}.$ We obtain a relation between $dist(\mathcal{T},\mathbb{F}^d\mathcal{S})$ and $dist(T_i,\mathbb{F}S_i),$ for $1\leq i\leq d.$ We prove that if $p=\infty,$ then $dist(\mathcal{T},\mathbb{F}^d\mathcal{S})=\underset{1\leq i\leq d}{\max}dist(T_i,\mathbb{F}S_i),$ and for $1\leq p<\infty,$ under a sufficient condition, $dist(\mathcal{T},\mathbb{F}^d\mathcal{S})^p=\underset{1\leq i\leq d}{\sum}dist(T_i,\mathbb{F}S_i)^p.$ As a consequence, we deduce the equivalence of Birkhoff-James orthogonality, $\mathcal{T}\perp_B \mathbb{F}^d\mathcal{S} \Leftrightarrow T_i\perp_B S_i,$ under a sufficient condition. Furthermore, we explore the relation of one sided Gateaux derivatives of $\mathcal{T}$ in the direction of $\mathcal{S}$ with that of $T_i$ in the direction of $S_i.$ Applying this, we explore the relation between the smoothness of $\mathcal{T}$ and $T_i.$ By identifying an operator, whose range is $\ell_\infty^d,$ as a tuple of functionals, we effectively use the results obtained here for operators whose range is $\ell_\infty^d$ and deduce nice results involving functionals.

Conditional expectation operators on $C(X)$

At the COSAEF conference in 2021, several participants asked the question whether a conditional expectation operator in the sense of Kuo, Labaushagne and Watson could be constructed in vector lattices other than $\mathcal{L}_p$ spaces and in particular in $C(X)$. This work answers positively to this question and participates in an old discussion on integrals in $C(X)$ space.

Fixed Point Rigidity of the Operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ and the LYZ Conjecture

We characterize the fixed points of the operator $Γ_pΠ_p^\ast$ for $n\geq 3$ and $1 0$ if and only if $K$ is an origin-centered ellipsoid, thereby settling the Lutwak--Yang--Zhang fixed-point conjecture in this range. Our proof is based on a variational analysis along linear reflection shadow systems. To address the nonlinear structure of the $L_p$ setting, we introduce the $L_p$-Projection Rolodex, which provides a dimensional reduction of the volume of the polar $L_p$-projection body to weighted lower-dimensional sectional functionals. A suitable change of variables, together with Ball's harmonic Prékopa--Leindler inequality, yields the convexity needed along the shadow system. Under the fixed-point condition, a first-variation identity then forces $\operatorname{vol}_n(Π_p^\ast K_t)$ to remain constant throughout the deformation. The rigidity statement follows from the equality characterization under Steiner symmetrization.

Logarithmic oscillatory multipliers and log-subdyadic square functions

We develop square-function estimates for Fourier multipliers whose local oscillation scale is \[ ρ(R)=\frac{R}{(\log R)^{γ-1}}, \qquad γ>1. \] This scale lies strictly between the dyadic scale and every fixed power-subdyadic scale at high frequency. For high-frequency symbols satisfying a localized Sobolev condition on balls of radius comparable to $ρ(R)$, we prove a pointwise square-function estimate and a weighted $L^2$ multiplier inequality. After adjoining a smooth compactly supported low-frequency part, we derive unweighted $L^p$ bounds. The weighted estimate is governed by a logarithmic geometric maximal operator which is strongly bounded above the critical $L^r$ threshold, satisfies weak type at the critical equality, and fails even weak type below it. As a model application, consider \[ L(ξ)=\frac12\log(e^2+|ξ|^2), \qquad m_{γ,β}(ξ)=L(ξ)^{-β}e^{iL(ξ)^γ}. \] For $p=2$, the associated multiplier is bounded on $L^2$ for every $β\geq0$. For $1 d(γ-1)\left|\frac12-\frac1p\right|. \] At the critical equality we obtain the corresponding Lorentz endpoint estimates.
