Characterization conditions and the numerical index

Abstract: In this paper we survey some recent results concerning the numerical index

n (c d o t)

for large classes of Banach spaces, including vector valued

e l l_{p}

-spaces and

e l l_{p}

-sums of Banach spaces where

1 l e q p < i n f t y

. In particular by defining two conditions on a norm of a Banach space

X

, namely a Local Characterization Condition (LCC) and a Global Characterization Condition (GCC), we are able to show that if a norm on

X

satisfies the (LCC), then

n (X) = d i s p l a y s t y l e l i m_{m} n (X_{m}) .

For the case in which

m a t h b b N

is replaced by a directed, infinite set

S

, we will prove an analogous result for

X

satisfying the (GCC). Our approach is motivated by the fact that

n (L_{p} (m u, X)) = n (e l l_{p} (X)) = d i s p l a y s t y l e l i m_{m} n (e l l_{p}^{m} (X))
