On the near differentiability property of Banach spaces (Q855445)

The near differentiability property for Banach spaces \(X\) is introduced and studied: \(X\) is said to have the near differentiability property if for every compact metrizable abelian group \(G\), every nearly differentiable measure \(\mu\in M^1 (G,X)\) is differentiable. Here, \(M^1 (G,X)\) denotes the space of countably additive \(X\)-valued measures of bounded variation. \(\mu\in M^1 (G,X)\) nearly differentiable means that for every scalar measure \(\sigma\) whose Fourier--Stieltjes transform vanishes at \(\infty\), the convolution \[ \mu\ast\sigma (A)=\int_G\int_G \chi_A (x+y)\;d\sigma(y)d\mu(x) \] is differentiable, that is, \(\mu\ast\sigma\) has a Radon--Nikodym derivative in \(L_1(G,\lambda,X)\). The definition of the near differentiability property is motivated by a result from [\textit{L.\,Pigno} and \textit{S.\,Saeki}, Bull.\ Am.\ Math.\ Soc.\ 79, 800--801 (1973; Zbl 0267.43005), Math.\ Z.\ 141, 83--91 (1975; Zbl 0321.43007)], namely: every nearly differentiable scalar measure on a compact metrizable abelian group \(G\) is differentiable. The main results of the present paper are: (1) The near differentiability property implies the near Radon--Nikodym property. (2) \(L^1[0,1]\) and \(L^1/H_{0}^1\) have the near differentiability property. (3) The near differentiability property is separably determined, an isomorphic invariant and a three-space property. (4) The near differentiability property implies the type I-\(\Lambda\)-Radon--Nikodym property for \(\Lambda\) a Riesz set of type 0.
