The Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for operators from \(c_{0}\) into some Banach spaces (Q313483)

This paper deals with the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property (BPBp) for operators. In the introduction, the authors summarize the known results on this important topic and relevant definitions. In the second section, the authors identify a new class of Banach spaces \(Y\) such that \((c_0, Y)\) satisfies the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for operators from \(c_0\) into \(Y\). The main result in the paper reads as follows: {Theorem (2.4).} Assume that \(Y\) is a real or complex Banach space such that there are a set \(I\), \(\{y_i: i \in I\} \subset S_Y\), \(\{ y_i^*: i \in I\} \subset S_{Y^*}\), a subset \(E \subset S_Y\), a mapping \(F:E \rightarrow S_{Y^*}\) and \(0 \leq \rho <1\) such that: {\parindent=8mm \begin{itemize}\item[(i)] \(y^*_i(y_i)=1\), \(\forall i \in I\). \item[(ii)] \(|y^*_i (y_j)|\leq \rho\), \(\forall i, j \in I\), \(i\neq j\). \item[(iii)] \(E\) is uniformly strongly exposed. \item[(iv)] \(|F(e) (y_i)|\leq \rho\), \(\forall e\in E\), \(i\in I\). \item[(v)] The set \(F(E) \cup \{ y_i^*: i \in I\}\) is a 1-norming set for \(Y\), that is, for any \(y \in Y\), \(\|y\|= \max \{\{ \sup\|y^*_i(y):i \in I\}, \sup \{|F(e)(y)|: e \in E\}\}.\) \end{itemize}} Then the pair \((c_0, Y)\) has the BPBp for operators. The authors also obtain several interesting consequences. These include the following corollaries: Corollary 2.6. Let \(Y\) be a uniformly convex space or a Banach space satisfying the property \(\beta\) of Lindenstrauss. Then the pair \((c_0, Y)\) has the BPBp for operators. Corollary 2.8. Let \(X\) be a uniformly convex space with \(\mathrm{dim} (X) \geq 2\). There is an equivalent norm \(\|\cdot \|\) on \(X\) arbitrarily close to the original norm of \(X\) that satisfies the assumptions of Theorem (2.4) but the space \((X, \|\cdot \|)\) is neither uniformly convex nor does it satisfy the property \(\beta\) of Lindenstrauss.
