A Nonlinear Transfer Technique for Renorming

Abstract topological tools from generalized metric spaces are applied in this volume to the construction of locally uniformly rotund norms on Banach spaces. The book offers new techniques for renorming problems, all of them based on a network analysis for

Preface

Banach spaces are objects with a linear structure so linear maps have been considered the natural tool for transferring good norms from one Banach space to another. It is well known that a Banach space X admits an equivalent strictly convex (rotund) norm if there is a bounded linear one-to-one operator T : X → Y where Y has such a norm. For example, J. Lindenstrauss proved that in any reflexive space X there is such an operator T : X → c0 (Γ) for some set Γ. F. Dashiell and J. Lindenstrauss gave an example of a strictly convex renormable space without such an operator into c0 (Γ) for any Γ. For that reason we are searching for a non linear transfer technique. We consider here locally uniformly rotund (LUR) norms, a property adding to strict convexity the coincidence of the weak and the norm topologies on the unit sphere. For these norms a class of non linear maps was not only more powerful but even more natural for this purpose, as evinced by the solution of an old open problem due to Kadec using this class of non linear
