Uniqueness of unconditional bases in c_0-products

We give counterexamples to a conjecture of Bourgain, Casazza, Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri that if X has a unique unconditional basis (up to permutation) then so does c_0(X). In particular, we show that for Tsirelson's space T, every unconditional basis of c_0(T) must be equivalent to a subsequence of the canonical basis but c_0(T) still fails to have a unique unconditional basis. We also give some positive results including a simpler proof that c_0(l_1)has a unique unconditional basis.

Weyl-Heisenberg frames for subspaces of L^2(R)

We give sufficient conditions for translates and modulates of a function g in L^2(R) to be a frame for its closed linear span. Even in the case where this family spans all of L^2(R), wou conditions are significantly weaker than the previous known conditions.

Local theory of frames and Schauder bases for Hilbert space

We develope a local theory for frames on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. In particular, a bounded frame on a finite dimensional Hilbert space contains a subset which is a good Riesz basis for a percentage (arbitrarily close to one) of the space. We also construct a normalized frame for a Hilbert space which contains a subset which is a Schauder basis for H but does not contain any subset which is a Riesz basis for H.

Every frame is a sum of three (but nottwo) orthonormal bases, and other frame representations

We show that every frame for a Hilbert space H can be written as a (multiple of a) sum of three orthonormal bases for H. A result of N.J. Kalton is included which shows that this is best possible in that: A frame can be represented as a linear combination of two orthonormal bases if and only if it is a Riesz basis. We further show that every frame can be written as a (multiple of a) sum of two normalized tight frames or as a sum of an orthonormal basis and a Riesz basis for H. Finally, every frame can be represented as a (multiple of a) average of two orthonormal bases for a larger Hilbert space.

Genus n Banach spaces

We show that the classification problem for genus n Banach spaces can be reduced to the unconditionally primary case and that the critical case there is n=2. It is further shown that a genus n Banach space is unconditionally primary if and only if it contains a complemented subspace of genus (n-1). We begin the process of classifying the genus 2 spaces by showing they have a strong decomposition property.

Uniqueness of unconditional bases in Banach spaces

We prove a general result on complemented unconditional basic sequences in Banach lattices and apply it to give some new examples of spaces with unique unconditional basis. We show that Tsirelson space and certain Nakano spaces have the unique unconditional bases. We also construct an example of a space with a unique unconditional basis with a complemented subspace failing to have a unique unconditional basis.

A Gaussian Average Property for Banach Spaces

In this paper we investigate a Gaussian average property of Banach spaces. This property is weaker than the Gordon Lewis property but closely related to this and other unconditional structures. It is also shown that this property implies that certain Hilbert space valued operators defined on subspaces of the given space can be extended.

Hilbert space frames containing a Riesz basis and Banach spaces which have no subspace isomorphic to $c_0$

We prove that a Hilbert space frame $\fti$ contains a Riesz basis if every subfamily $\ftj , J \subseteq I ,$ is a frame for its closed span. Secondly we give a new characterization of Banach spaces which do not have any subspace isomorphic to $c_0$. This result immediately leads to an improvement of a recent theorem of Holub concerning frames consisting of a Riesz basis plus finitely many elements.

Frames containing a Riesz basis and preservation of this property under perturbation

Aldroubi has shown how one can construct any frame $\gtu$ starting with one frame $\ftu $,using a bounded operator $U$ on $l^2(N)$. We study the overcompleteness of the frames in terms of properties of $U$. We also discuss perturbation of frames in the sense that two frames are ``close'' if a certain operator is compact. In this way we obtain an equivalence relation with the property that members of the same equivalence class have the same overcompleteness. On the other hand we show that perturbation in the Paley-Wiener sense does not have this property. \\ Finally we construct a frame which is norm-bounded below, but which does not contain a Riesz basis.The construction is based on the delicate difference between the unconditional convergence of the frame representation, and the fact that a convergent series in the frame elements need not converge unconditionally.

Unconditional bases and unconditional finite-dimensional decompositions in Banach spaces

Let $X$ be a Banach space with an unconditional finite-dimensional Schauder decomposition $(E_n)$. We consider the general problem of characterizing conditions under which one can construct an unconditional basis for $X$ by forming an unconditional basis for each $E_n.$ For example, we show that if $\sup \dim E_n<\infty$ and $X$ has Gordon-Lewis local unconditional structure then $X$ has an unconditional basis of this type. We also give an example of a non-Hilbertian space $X$ with the property that whenever $Y$ is a closed subspace of $X$ with a UFDD $(E_n)$ such that $\sup\dim E_n<\infty$ then $Y$ has an unconditional basis, showing that a recent result of Komorowski and Tomczak-Jaegermann cannot be improved.

Self-Induced Compactness in Banach Spaces

The question which led to the title of this note is the following: {\it If $X$ is a Banach space and $K$ is a compact subset of $X$, is it possible to find a compact, or even approximable, operator $v:X\to X$ such that $K\subset\ol{v(B_X)}$?} This question was first posed by P.G.Dixon [6] in connection with investigating the problem of the existence of approximate identities in certain operator algebras. We shall provide a couple of observations related to the above question and give in particular a negative answer in case of approximable operators. We shall also provide the first examples of Banach spaces having the approximation property but failing the bounded compact approximation property though all of their duals do even have the metric compact approximation property.

Some Questions Arising from the Homogeneous Banach Space Problem

We review the current state of the homogeneous Banach space problem. We then formulate several questions which arise naturally from this problem, some of which seem to be fundamental but new. We give many examples defining the bounds on the problem. We end with a simple construction showing that every infinite dimensional Banach space contains a subspace on which weak properties have become stable (under passing to further subspaces). Implications of this construction are considered.
