Let Σ be a σ-algebra of subsets of a set Ω and $B(\Sigma)$ be the Banach space of all bounded Σ-measurable scalar functions on Ω. Let $\tau(B(\Sigma),ca(\Sigma))$ denote the natural Mackey topology on $B(\Sigma)$. It is shown that a linear operator T from $B(\Sigma)$ to a Banach space E is Bochner representable if and only if T is a nuclear operator between the locally convex space $(B(\Sigma),\tau(B(\Sigma),ca(\Sigma)))$ and the Banach space E. We derive a formula for the trace of a Bochner representable operator $T:B({\cal B} o)\rightarrow B({\cal B} o)$ generated by a function $f\in L^1({\cal B} o, C(\Omega))$, where Ω is a compact Hausdorff space.

Suppose $2< p<\infty$ and $\varphi$ is a holomorphic self-map of the open unit disk $\mathbb {D}$. We show the following assertions:

1. (1) If $\varphi$ has bounded valence and0.1

   \begin{equation} \int_{\mathbb{D}} \left(\frac{1-|z|^2}{1-|\varphi(z)|^2}\right)^{p/2}\frac{\mathrm{d} A(z)}{(1-|z|^2)^2}<\infty, \end{equation}
   then $C_{\varphi }$ is in the Schatten $p$-class of the Hardy space $H^2$.

2. (2) There exists a holomorphic self-map $\varphi$ (which is, of course, not of bounded valence) such that the inequality (0.1) holds and $C_{\varphi }: H^2\to H^2$ does not belong to the Schatten $p$-class.

We characterize the membership in the Schatten ideals $\mathcal {S}_p$, $0<p<\infty $, of composition operators acting on weighted Dirichlet spaces. Our results concern a large class of weights. In particular, we examine the case of perturbed superharmonic weights. Characterization of composition operators acting on weighted Bergman spaces to be in $\mathcal {S}_p$ is also given.

We study the isomorphic structure of $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}\ (1< q<\infty )$ and prove that these spaces are complementably homogeneous. We also show that for any operator T from $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ into ${\ell }_{q}$ , there is a subspace X of $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ that is isometric to $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ and the restriction of T on X has small norm. If T is a bounded linear operator on $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ which is $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ -strictly singular, then for any $\epsilon>0$ , there is a subspace X of $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ which is isometric to $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ with $\|T|_{X}\|<\epsilon $ . As an application, we show that the set of all $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ -strictly singular operators on $(\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}}$ forms the unique maximal ideal of $\mathcal {L}((\sum {\ell }_{q})_{c_{0}})$ .

Let A and $\tilde A$ be unbounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We consider the following problem. Let the spectrum of A lie in some horizontal strip. In which strip does the spectrum of $\tilde A$ lie, if A and $\tilde A$ are sufficiently ‘close’? We derive a sharp bound for the strip containing the spectrum of $\tilde A$ , assuming that $\tilde A-A$ is a bounded operator and A has a bounded Hermitian component. We also discuss applications of our results to regular matrix differential operators.

We formulate general conditions which imply that ${\mathcal L}(X,Y)$, the space of operators from a Banach space X to a Banach space Y, has $2^{{\mathfrak {c}}}$ closed ideals, where ${\mathfrak {c}}$ is the cardinality of the continuum. These results are applied to classical sequence spaces and Tsirelson-type spaces. In particular, we prove that the cardinality of the set ofclosed ideals in ${\mathcal L}\left (\ell _p\oplus \ell _q\right )$ is exactly $2^{{\mathfrak {c}}}$ for all $1<p<q<\infty $.

We establish the following results on higher order ${\mathcal{S}}^{p}$-differentiability, $1<p<\infty$, of the operator function arising from a continuous scalar function $f$ and self-adjoint operators defined on a fixed separable Hilbert space:

1. (i) $f$ is $n$ times continuously Fréchet ${\mathcal{S}}^{p}$-differentiable at every bounded self-adjoint operator if and only if $f\in C^{n}(\mathbb{R})$;

2. (ii) if $f^{\prime },\ldots ,f^{(n-1)}\in C_{b}(\mathbb{R})$ and $f^{(n)}\in C_{0}(\mathbb{R})$, then $f$ is $n$ times continuously Fréchet ${\mathcal{S}}^{p}$-differentiable at every self-adjoint operator;

3. (iii) if $f^{\prime },\ldots ,f^{(n)}\in C_{b}(\mathbb{R})$, then $f$ is $n-1$ times continuously Fréchet ${\mathcal{S}}^{p}$-differentiable and $n$ times Gâteaux ${\mathcal{S}}^{p}$-differentiable at every self-adjoint operator.

We also prove that if $f\in B_{\infty 1}^{n}(\mathbb{R})\cap B_{\infty 1}^{1}(\mathbb{R})$, then $f$ is $n$ times continuously Fréchet ${\mathcal{S}}^{q}$-differentiable, $1\leqslant q<\infty$, at every self-adjoint operator. These results generalize and extend analogous results of Kissin et al. (Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3)108(3) (2014), 327–349) to arbitrary $n$ and unbounded operators as well as substantially extend the results of Azamov et al. (Canad. J. Math.61(2) (2009), 241–263); Coine et al. (J. Funct. Anal.; doi:10.1016/j.jfa.2018.09.005); Peller (J. Funct. Anal.233(2) (2006), 515–544) on higher order ${\mathcal{S}}^{p}$-differentiability of $f$ in a certain Wiener class, Gâteaux ${\mathcal{S}}^{2}$-differentiability of $f\in C^{n}(\mathbb{R})$ with $f^{\prime },\ldots ,f^{(n)}\in C_{b}(\mathbb{R})$, and Gâteaux ${\mathcal{S}}^{q}$-differentiability of $f$ in the intersection of the Besov classes $B_{\infty 1}^{n}(\mathbb{R})\cap B_{\infty 1}^{1}(\mathbb{R})$. As an application, we extend ${\mathcal{S}}^{p}$-estimates for operator Taylor remainders to a broad set of symbols. Finally, we establish explicit formulas for Fréchet differentials and Gâteaux derivatives.

We use a generalised Nevanlinna counting function to compute the Hilbert–Schmidt norm of a composition operator on the Bergman space $L_{a}^{2}(\mathbb{D})$ and weighted Bergman spaces $L_{a}^{1}(\text{d}A_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}})$ when $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ is a nonnegative integer.

The purpose of this paper is to present a brief discussion of both the normed space of operator p-summable sequences in a Banach space and the normed space of sequentially p-limited operators. The focus is on proving that the vector space of all operator p-summable sequences in a Banach space is a Banach space itself and that the class of sequentially p-limited operators is a Banach operator ideal with respect to a suitable ideal norm- and to discuss some other properties and multiplication results of related classes of operators. These results are shown to fit into a general discussion of operator [Y,p]-summable sequences and relevant operator ideals.

Let $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}H$ be a linear unbounded operator in a Hilbert space. It is assumed that the resolvent of $H$ is a compact operator and $H-H^*$ is a Hilbert–Schmidt operator. Various integro-differential operators satisfy these conditions. It is shown that $H$ is similar to a normal operator and a sharp bound for the condition number is suggested. We also discuss applications of that bound to spectrum perturbations and operator functions.

It is proved that the pseudodifferential operators σt(X, D) belong to the Schatten p-class Cp, 0 < p ≤ 2, if the symbol σ(x,ω) is in certain modulation spaces on

Let $H$ be a separable, infinite-dimensional, complex Hilbert space and let $A,\,B\,\in \,\mathcal{L}\left( H \right)$, where $\mathcal{L}(H)$ is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H$. Let ${{\delta }_{AB}}\,:\mathcal{L}\left( H \right)\to \mathcal{L}\left( H \right)$ denote the generalized derivation ${{\delta }_{AB}}\left( X \right)\,=\,AX\,-\,XB$. This note will initiate a study on the class of pairs $\left( A,\,B \right)$ such that $\overline{R\left( {{\delta }_{AB}} \right)}\,=\,\overline{R\left( {{\delta }_{A*\,B*}} \right)}$.

We introduce the spaces Vℬp(X) (respectively 𝒱ℬp(X)) of the vector measures ℱ:Σ→X of bounded (p,ℬ)-variation (respectively of bounded (p,ℬ)-semivariation) with respect to a bounded bilinear map ℬ:X×Y →Z and show that the spaces Lℬp(X) consisting of functions which are p-integrable with respect to ℬ, defined in by Blasco and Calabuig [‘Vector-valued functions integrable with respect to bilinear maps’, Taiwanese Math. J. to appear], are isometrically embedded in Vℬp(X). We characterize 𝒱ℬp(X) in terms of bilinear maps from Lp′×Y into Z and Vℬp(X) as a subspace of operators from Lp′(Z*) into Y*. Also we define the notion of cone absolutely summing bilinear maps in order to describe the (p,ℬ)-variation of a measure in terms of the cone-absolutely summing norm of the corresponding bilinear map from Lp′×Y into Z.

We present a construction of singular rearrangement invariant functionals on Marcinkiewicz function/operator spaces. The functionals constructed differ from all previous examples in the literature in that they fail to be symmetric. In other words, the functional $\phi$ fails the condition that if $x\prec \prec \,Y$ (Hardy-Littlewood-Polya submajorization) and $0\,\le \,x,\,y$, then $0\,\le \,\phi \left( x \right)\,\le \,\phi \left( y \right)$. We apply our results to singular traces on symmetric operator spaces (in particular on symmetrically-normed ideals of compact operators), answering questions raised by Guido and Isola.

We work with interpolation methods for $N$-tuples of Banach spaces associated with polygons. We compare necessary conditions for interpolating closed operator ideals with conditions required to interpolate compactness. We also establish a formula for the measure of non-compactness of interpolated operators.

We use Krivine's form of the Grothendieck inequality to renorm the space of bounded linear maps acting between Banach lattices. We construct preduals and describe the nuclear operators associated with these preduals for this renormed space of bounded operators as well as for the spaces of $p$-convex, $p$-concave and positive $p$-summing operators acting between Banach lattices and Banach spaces. The nuclear operators obtained are described in terms of factorizations through classical Banach spaces via positive operators.

Given a finite group $G$, we examine the classification of all frame representations of $G$ and the classification of all $G$-frames, i.e., frames induced by group representations of $G$. We show that the exact number of equivalence classes of $G$-frames and the exact number of frame representations can be explicitly calculated. We also discuss how to calculate the largest number $L$ such that there exists an $L$-tuple of strongly disjoint $G$-frames.

We characterise the 1-unconditional subsets $(\mathrm{e}_{rc})_{(r,c) \in I}$ of the set of elementary matrices in the Schatten–von-Neumann class $\mathrm{S}^p$. The set of couples $I$ must be the set of edges of a bipartite graph without cycles of even length $4 \lel \le p$ if $p$ is an even integer, and without cycles at all if $p$ is a positive real number that is not an even integer. In the latter case, $I$ is even a Varopoulos set of V-interpolation of constant 1. We also study the metric unconditional approximation property for the space $\mathrm{S}^p_I$ spanned by $(\mathrm{e}_{rc})_{(r,c) \in I}$ in $\mathrm{S}^p$.

Let $B(H)$ denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a separable, infinite-dimensional, complex Hilbert space $H$. Let $I$ be a two-sided ideal in $B(H)$. For operators $A, B$ and $X \in B(H)$, we say that $X$intertwines$A$and$B$modulo$I$ if $AX - XB \in I$. It is easy to see that if $X$ intertwines $A$ and $B$ modulo $I$, then it intertwines $A^{n}$ and $B^{n}$ modulo $I$ for every integer $n > $1. However, the converse is not true. In this paper, sufficient conditions on the operators $A$ and $B$ are given so that any operator $X$ which intertwines certain powers of $A$ and $B$ modulo $I$ also intertwines $A$ and $B$ modulo $J$ for some two-sided ideal $J \supseteq I$.
