On the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem for multilinear mappings

Abstract We study the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property and the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property for numerical radius. Our main aim is to extend some known results about norm or numerical radius attaining operators to multilinear and polynomial cases. We characterize the pair ( l 1 ( X ) , Y ) to have the BPBp for bilinear forms and prove that on L 1 ( μ ) the numerical radius and the norm of a multilinear mapping are the same. We also show that L 1 ( μ ) fails the BPBp-nu for multilinear mappings although L 1 ( μ ) satisfies it in the operator case for every measure μ.

The Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás point property

Abstract In this article, we study a version of the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property. We investigate a pair of Banach spaces ( X , Y ) such that every operator from X into Y is approximated by operators which attain their norm at the same point where the original operator almost attains its norm. In this case, we say that such a pair has the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas point property (BPBpp). We characterize uniform smoothness in terms of BPBpp and we give some examples of pairs ( X , Y ) which have and fail this property. Some stability results are obtained about l 1 and l ∞ sums of Banach spaces and we also study this property for bilinear mappings.

The Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás property for operators from c0 into some Banach spaces

Abstract We exhibit a new class of Banach spaces Y such that the pair ( c 0 , Y ) has the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property for operators. This class contains uniformly convex Banach spaces and spaces with the property β of Lindenstrauss. We also provide new examples of spaces in this class.

The Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for bilinear forms and polynomials

For a $\sigma$-finite measure $\mu$ and a Banach space $Y$ we study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property (BPBP) for bilinear forms on $L_1(\mu)\times Y$, that is, a (continuous) bilinear form on $L_1(\mu)\times Y$ almost attaining its norm at $(f_0,y_0)$ can be approximated by bilinear forms attaining their norms at unit vectors close to $(f_0,y_0)$. In case that $Y$ is an Asplund space we characterize the Banach spaces $Y$ satisfying this property. We also exhibit some class of bilinear forms for which the BPBP does not hold, though the set of norm attaining bilinear forms in that class is dense.

Some geometric properties of disk algebras

Abstract In this paper we study some geometrical properties of certain classes of uniform algebras, in particular the ball algebra A u ( B X ) of all uniformly continuous functions on the closed unit ball and holomorphic on the open unit ball of a complex Banach space X . We prove that A u ( B X ) has k -numerical index 1 for every k , the lushness and also the AHSP. Moreover, the disk algebra A ( D ) , and more in general any uniform algebra whose Choquet boundary has no isolated points, is proved to have the polynomial Daugavet property. Most of those properties are extended to the vector valued version A X of a uniform algebra A .

Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás property for certain spaces of operators

Abstract We characterize the Banach spaces Y for which certain subspaces of operators from L 1 ( μ ) into Y have the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property in terms of a geometric property of Y , namely AHSP. This characterization applies to the spaces of compact and weakly compact operators. New examples of Banach spaces Y with AHSP are provided. We also obtain that certain ideals of Asplund operators satisfy the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property.
