    Abstract

    We give a lower bound for the numerical index of the real space $L_p(\mu)$
    showing, in particular, that it is non-zero for $p\neq 2$. In other words, it
    is shown that for every bounded linear operator $T$ on the real space
    $L_p(\mu)$, one has $$ \sup{\Bigl|\int |x|^{p-1}\sign(x) T x d\mu \Bigr| : x\in
    L_p(\mu), \|x\|=1} \geq \frac{M_p}{12\e}\|T\| $$ where
    $M_p=\max_{t\in[0,1]}\frac{|t^{p-1}-t|}{1+t^p}>0$ for every $p\neq 2$.

  2. Isometries on extremely non-complex Banach spaces.

    Abstract

    Given a separable Banach space $E$, we construct an extremely non-complex
    Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that $\|Id + T^2\|=1+\|T^2\|$ for every
    bounded linear operator $T$ on it) whose dual contains $E^*$ as an $L$-summand.
    We also study surjective isometries on extremely non-complex Banach spaces and
    construct an example of a real Banach space whose group of surjective
    isometries reduces to $\pm Id$, but the group of surjective isometries of its
    dual contains the group of isometries of a separable infinite-dimensional
    Hilbert space as a subgroup.

  3. On remotality for convex sets in Banach spaces.

    Authors: Miguel Martin, T.S.S.R.K. Rao
    Subjects: Functional Analysis
    Abstract

    We show that every infinite dimensional Banach space has a closed and bounded
    convex set that is not remotal.
