On very non-linear subsets of continuous functions

In this paper we continue the study initiated by Gurariy and Quarta in 2004 on the existence of linear spaces formed, up to the null vector, by continuous functions that attain the maximum only at one point. Inserting a topological flavor to the subject, we prove that results already known for functions defined on certain subsets of R are actually true for functions on quite general topological spaces. In the line of the original results of Gurariy and Quarta, we prove that, depending on the desired dimension, such subspaces may exist or not.

Subspaces of maximal dimension contained in $L_p(Ω) - \bigcup\limits_{q<p} L_q (Ω)$

Let $(Ω,Σ,μ)$ be a measure space and $1< p < +\infty$. In this paper we show that, under quite general conditions, the set $L_{p}(Ω) - \bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(Ω)$ is maximal spaceable, that is, it contains (except for the null vector) a closed subspace $F$ of $L_{p}(Ω)$ such that $\dim(F) = \dim(L_{p}(Ω))$. We also show that if those conditions are not fulfilled, then even the larger set $L_p(Ω) - L_q(Ω)$, $1 \leq q < p$, may fail to be maximal spaceable. The aim of the results presented here is, among others, to generalize all the previous work (since the 1960's) related to the linear structure of the sets $L_{p}(Ω) - L_{q}(Ω)$ with $q < p$ and $L_{p}(Ω) - \bigcup\limits_{1 \leq q < p}L_{q}(Ω)$.

When is the Haar measure a Pietsch measure for nonlinear mappings?

We show that, as in the linear case, the normalized Haar measure on a compact topological group $G$ is a Pietsch measure for nonlinear summing mappings on closed translation invariant subspaces of $C(G)$. This answers a question posed to the authors by J. Diestel. We also show that our result applies to several well-studied classes of nonlinear summing mappings. In the final section some problems are proposed.

$L_{p}[0,1] \setminus \bigcup\limits_{q>p} L_{q}[0,1]$ is spaceable for every $p>0$

In this short note we prove the result stated in the title; that is, for every $p>0$ there exists an infinite dimensional closed linear subspace of $L_{p}[0,1]$ every nonzero element of which does not belong to $\bigcup\limits_{q>p} L_{q}[0,1]$. This answers in the positive a question raised in 2010 by R. M. Aron on the spaceability of the above sets (for both, the Banach and quasi-Banach cases). We also complete some recent results from \cite{BDFP} for subsets of sequence spaces.

Spaceability in Banach and quasi-Banach sequence spaces

Let $X$ be a Banach space. We prove that, for a large class of Banach or quasi-Banach spaces $E$ of $X$-valued sequences, the sets $E-\bigcup _{q\inΓ}\ell_{q}(X)$, where $Γ$ is any subset of $(0,\infty]$, and $E-c_{0}(X)$ contain closed infinite-dimensional subspaces of $E$ (if non-empty, of course). This result is applied in several particular cases and it is also shown that the same technique can be used to improve a result on the existence of spaces formed by norm-attaining linear operators.

Dominated bilinear forms and 2-homogeneous polynomials

The main goal of this note is to establish a connection between the cotype of the Banach space X and the parameters r for which every 2-homogeneous polynomial on X is r-dominated. Let cotX be the infimum of the cotypes assumed by X and (cotX)* be its conjugate. The main result of this note asserts that if cotX > 2, then for every 1<= r < (cotX)* there exists a non-r-dominated 2-homogeneous polynomial on X.

In this note we answer a question concerning lineability of the set of non-absolutely summing operators.

Lineability of summing sets of homogeneous polynomials

Given a continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomial $P\colon E\longrightarrow F$ between Banach spaces and $1\leq q\leq p<\infty$, in this paper we investigate some properties concerning lineability and spaceability of the $(p;q)$-summing set of $P$, defined by $S_{p;q}(P)=\{a\in E:P\mathrm{is}% (p;q)\mathrm{summing at}a\}$.
