Abstract. Let L(X) be the space of bounded linear operators on the Banach space X. We study the strict singularity and cosingularity of the two-sided multiplication operators S → ASB on L(X), where A, B ∈ L(X) are fixed bounded operators and X is a classical Banach space. Let 1 < p < ∞ and p = 2. Our main result establishes that the multiplication S → ASB is strictly singular on L L p (0, 1) if and only if the non-zero operators A, B ∈ L L p (0, 1) are strictly singular. We also discuss the case where X is a L 1 -or a L ∞ -space, as well as several other relevant examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
