The role of symmetry in the performance of the Thresholding Greedy Algorithm

Abstract

This paper continues the study of conditional symmetric systems initiated in arXiv:2601.15784 and solves several problems posed there. While the interaction between unconditionality and symmetry is well known in the Banach setting following the work in arXiv:2304.05888 and arXiv:2601.15784, we broaden the scope and address similar questions for spreading systems in the more general setting of quasi-Banach spaces. Our aim is twofold. On the one hand, we characterize which spreading systems of Banach spaces are unconditional. On the other hand, we provide examples of quasi-Banach spaces equipped with conditional systems with symmetry-related properties to illustrate the connections between symmetry, greedy-like properties, and the Schauder basis property in the absence of local convexity.

O-segments on topological measure spaces

Let $μ$ be a finite non-atomic measure on a set $X$. A \emph{segment} for $μ$ is an increasing family $u(t)$, $t\in[0,1]$, of measurable sets with $u(0)=\emptyset$, $u(1)=X$ and $μ(u(t))=t\,μ(X)$; by a theorem of Fryszkowski, finitely many measures $f\,dμ$ admit a common segment. We study \emph{open segments}, i.e.\ segments consisting of open sets, when $X$ carries a topology. We show that weak outer regularity of $μ$ is equivalent to the approximability of measurable sets by open sets, and that it holds for every finite Borel measure on a metrizable space. Our main result states that if $μ$ is finite, non-atomic and weakly outer regular, then for all $f,g\in L^1(μ)$ with $(\int f\,dμ,\int g\,dμ)\neq(0,0)$ there is a common open segment for $f\,dμ$ and $g\,dμ$; in particular, for every $f\in L^1(μ)$ there is an open segment for $μ$ which is simultaneously a segment for $f\,dμ$. Relative versions allow one to prescribe an initial set. We also characterize open segments as upper semicontinuous functions with uniform distribution and show that on separable metrizable spaces a single measure admits such a function which is continuous.

A Note On Majorizing Norms on Majorized Spaces

We introduce a new type of norm for ordered vector spaces majorized by a proper (convex) cone that generalizes the notions of order unit norm and base norm. Then we give sufficient conditions to ensure its completeness. In the case of normed Riesz spaces, we also present necessary completeness conditions and describe the completed norm. Finally, we define a particular family of well-behaving sets. Spaces majorized by the cone generated by these sets display surprisingly interesting structural properties. In particular, we generalize two famous standard results in Banach lattice theory. Namely, every principal ideal in a Banach lattice is an AM-space and every Banach lattice having a generating cone with a compact base admits an equivalent L-norm.

The Cesàro Operator, Rhaly operators, and the Toeplitz Algebra

Barr\'ıa and Halmos [\emph{Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.} (1982), (10) Example] asked whether the Cesàro operator belongs to the Toeplitz algebra. We answer this question affirmatively and prove that the Cesàro operator is the product of a Toeplitz operator and a continuous function of a self-adjoint Toeplitz operator. Rhaly operators are a natural generalization of the Cesàro operator. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Rhaly operator to belong to the Toeplitz algebra or the Hankel algebra. The main approach is to use the Fejér kernels to get localized estimates for operators. This yields a necessary condition for an operator to belong to the Hankel algebra. As an application, we find a class of Rhaly operators that are asymptotic Toeplitz operators and essentially commute with the unilateral shift, but are not in the Hankel algebra. This answers (17) Question in the same paper.
