Abstract

J. Elton proved that every normalized weakly null sequence in a Banach space admits a subsequence that is nearly unconditional which is a weak form of unconditionality. The notion of near-unconditionality is quantified by a constant $K(δ)$ depending on a parameter $δ\in (0,1]$. It is unknown if $\sup_{δ>0} K(δ) < \infty$. This problem turns out to be closely related to the question whether every infinite-dimensional Banach space contains a quasi-greedy basic sequence. The notion of a quasi-greedy basic sequence was introduced recently by S. V. Konyagin and V. N. Temlyakov. We present an extension of Elton's result which includes Schreier unconditionality. The proof involves a basic framework which we show can be also employed to prove other partial unconditionality results including that of convex unconditionality due to Argyros, Mercourakis and Tsarpalias. Various constants of partial unconditionality are defined and we investigate the relationships between them. We also explore the combinatorial problem underlying the $\sup_{δ>0} K(δ) < \infty$ problem and show that $\sup_{δ>0} K(δ) > 5/4$.

Löwner equations and de Branges--Rovnyak spaces

We study one-parameter families of de Branges--Rovnyak spaces associated with Löwner equations. The purpose of this paper is to give a new approach to a problem discussed by Sarason, Fricain--Hartmann--Ross, Fricain--Mashreghi, and Łanucha--Nowak. Our approach is based on a little-known technique, ``\textit{Löwner expansions}'', developed by the de Branges school. We recast ``\textit{Löwner expansions}'' in the theory of direct integrals and integral operators. Further, our framework also provides a natural setting for applying the theory of the chordal Löwner equation to the theory of de Branges--Rovnyak spaces. As an application, we prove Fourier-type expansion theorems induced by the Löwner equations.

On Continuous Wavelet Transform of Complex Radon Measures on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$

This paper investigates a necessary and sufficient condition for a measurable function on $\mathbb{R}^{\times} \times \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to be the continuous wavelet transform of a complex Radon measure on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ under suitable regularity conditions on the wavelets. We investigate various integrability properties of the wavelet transform of complex Radon measures. We define a new norm on the collection of such functions and show that it is isometrically isomorphic to the Banach algebra of complex Radon measures under convolution. We show a wavelet inversion formula for measures, in a restricted sense. Under additional hypothesis, we provide a reconstruction formula for the measure of closed rectangles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ using wavelet transforms. We have included supporting examples to substantiate these assumptions.

Compressions of Linear Relations in Krein Spaces

Given an orthogonal decomposition \(\widetilde{\mathfrak{H}} = \mathfrak{H}[\dotplus]\widehat{\mathfrak{H}}\) of a Krein space, we study compressions \({\mathrm{C}_{\mathfrak H}}(R)\) of linear relations \(R\) in \(\widetilde{\mathfrak{H}}\) to \(\mathfrak{H}\). We formulate a sufficient condition that ensures that compression commutes with taking adjoints, that is, the adjoint identity \({\mathrm{C}_{\mathfrak H}}(R^{\widetilde{*}}) = {\mathrm{C}_{\mathfrak H}}(R)^{*}\) holds. We derive preservation and reflection results for the compression of maximal dissipative, maximal symmetric, and self-adjoint linear relations. For nonnegative linear relations, the adjoint identity also implies that compression commutes with taking the Friedrichs extension. For \(\mathfrak{H}\ne\{0\}\), we characterize finite dimensionality of the exit space \(\widehat{\mathfrak{H}}\) by universal compression properties. Finally, we give a criterion for the adjoint identity to hold in terms of bounded linear functionals on \(R\).
