Schur operators and domination problem (Q2358754): Difference between revisions

Let \(X,Y\) be a Banach spaces. The authors call \(T \in {\mathcal L}(X,Y)\) a Schur operator if, for any closed subspace \(M \subset X\), \(T|M\) has a bounded inverse implies that \(M\) contains an infinite-dimensional closed subspace with the Schur property. The authors show that these operators form a closed two-sided ideal in \({\mathcal L}(X)\). If, in addition, \(X,Y\) are Banach lattices, the authors investigate the question: when is being Schur preserved by domination? The authors show that, for positive operators \(R_i \leq T_i: E_i \to E_{i+1}\) for \(1 \leq i \leq 4\), if \(T_1,T_3\) are Schur and \(T_2,T_4\) are order weakly compact, then \(R_4R_3R_2R_1\) is Schur.
