\(L^1(\mu,X)\) as a constrained subspace of its bidual (Q1306814): Difference between revisions

For a Banach space \(X\) and a finite measure space \((\Omega,{\mathcal A},\mu)\) denote by \(L^1(\mu, X)\) the Banach space of all Bochner integrable functions on \(\Omega\) with values in \(X\). A Banach space \(Z\) is said to be constrained in its bidual \(Z^{**}\) if there is a projection of norm one on \(Z^{**}\) which has the canonical image of \(Z\) in \(Z^{**}\) as its image. Continuing earlier work the author shows among other results the following ones: Let \(Y\) be a closed subspace of \(X\). Assume that \(L^1(\mu, X)\) is constrained in its bidual, that \(Y\) has RNP and that \(Y\) satisfies an additional condition. Then \(L^1(\mu, X/Y)\) is constrained in its bidual and \(L^1(\mu, Y)\) is proximinal in \(L^1(\mu, X)\).
