On the Bounded Approximation Property in Banach spaces

We prove that the kernel of a quotient operator from an $\mathcal L_1$-space onto a Banach space $X$ with the Bounded Approximation Property (BAP) has the BAP. This completes earlier results of Lusky --case $\ell_1$-- and Figiel, Johnson and Pełczyński --case $X^*$ separable. Given a Banach space $X$, we show that if the kernel of a quotient map from some $\mathcal L_1$-space onto $X$ has the BAP then every kernel of every quotient map from any $\mathcal L_1$-space onto $X$ has the BAP. The dual result for $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces also hold: if for some $\mathcal L_\infty$-space $E$ some quotient $E/X$ has the BAP then for every $\mathcal L_\infty$-space $E$ every quotient $E/X$ has the BAP.

On Uniformly finitely extensible Banach spaces

We continue the study of Uniformly Finitely Extensible Banach spaces (in short, UFO) initiated in Moreno-Plichko, \emph{On automorphic Banach spaces}, Israel J. Math. 169 (2009) 29--45 and Castillo-Plichko, \emph{Banach spaces in various positions.} J. Funct. Anal. 259 (2010) 2098-2138. We show that they have the Uniform Approximation Property of Pełczyński and Rosenthal and are compactly extensible. We will also consider their connection with the automorphic space problem of Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal --do there exist automorphic spaces other than $c_0(I)$ and $\ell_2(I)$?-- showing that a space all whose subspaces are UFO must be automorphic when it is Hereditarily Indecomposable (HI), and a Hilbert space when it is either locally minimal or isomorphic to its square. We will finally show that most HI --among them, the super-reflexive HI space constructed by Ferenczi-- and asymptotically $\ell_2$ spaces in the literature cannot be automorphic.

On ultrapowers of Banach spaces of type $\mathscr L_\infty$

We prove that no ultraproduct of Banach spaces via a countably incomplete ultrafilter can contain $c_0$ complemented. This shows that a "result" widely used in the theory of ultraproducts is wrong. We then amend a number of results whose proofs had been infected by that statement. In particular we provide proofs for the following statements: (i) All $M$-spaces, in particular all $C(K)$-spaces, have ultrapowers isomorphic to ultrapowers of $c_0$, as well as all their complemented subspaces isomorphic to their square. (ii) No ultrapower of the Gurari\u ı space can be complemented in any $M$-space. (iii) There exist Banach spaces not complemented in any $C(K)$-space having ultrapowers isomorphic to a $C(K)$-space.

Extension and lifting of operators and polynomials

We study the problem of extension and lifting of operators belonging to certain operator ideals, as well as that of their associated polynomials and holomorphic functions. Our results provide a characterization of $\mathcal{L}_1$ and $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$-spaces that includes and extends those of Lindenstrauss-Rosenthal \cite{LR} using compact operators and González-Gutiérrez \cite{GG} using compact polynomials. We display several examples to show the difference between extending and lifting compact (resp. weakly compact, unconditionally convergent, separable and Rosenthal) operators to operators of the same type. Finally, we show the previous results in a homological perspective, which helps the interested reader to understand the motivations and nature of the results presented.

On Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński spaces

In this work we shall be concerned with some stability aspects of the classical problem of extension of $C(K)$-valued operators. We introduce the class $\mathscr{LP}$ of Banach spaces of Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński type as those such that every operator from a subspace of $c_0$ into them can be extended to $c_0$. We show that all $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces are of type $\mathcal L_\infty$ but not the converse. Moreover, $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces will be characterized as those spaces $E$ such that $E$-valued operators from $w^*(l_1,c_0)$-closed subspaces of $l_1$ extend to $l_1$. Complemented subspaces of $C(K)$ and separably injective spaces are subclasses of $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces and we show that the former does not contain the latter. It is established that $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces not containing $l_1$ are quotients of $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces, while $\mathcal L_\infty$-spaces not containing $c_0$, quotients of an $\mathscr{LP}$-space by a separably injective space and twisted sums of $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces are $\mathscr{LP}$-spaces.
