A construction of a Banach space C(K) with few operators

Abstract: We present a construction, carried entirely in ZFC, of a compact connected space K such that every bounded operator T : C(K) → C(K) can be written as T = g · I + S, where g ∈ C(K) and S is a weakly compact operator. This extends a result due to Koszmider [A Banach space of continuous functions with few operators, Preprint, 2003] who constructed such a space assuming the continuum hypothesis.

“…On the other hand, there exist Banach spaces in which only finitedimensional and co-finite-dimensional subspaces are complemented (Gowers and Maurey [11]). There even exist (necessarily, non-separable) C(K) spaces with no non-trivial bounded projections (Koszmider [21] and Plebanek [33]). In the positive direction, one has to mention the work of Heinrich and Mankiewicz [15] where, using substructures of ultrapowers of Banach spaces, the authors show in particular the existence of non-trivial bounded projections in every dual Banach space of density greater than the continuum (see [38] for an elementary proof).…”

“…Theorem 2.14. (Koszmider [17], Plebanek [20]) There exists an infinite compact connected Hausdorff space K 0 such that every T ∈ L(C(K 0 )) can be written as T = gI + S, where g ∈ C(K 0 ) and S is a weakly compact operator on C(K 0 ). Moreover, the space C(K 0 ) is indecomposable.…”

“…We prove that there exist even infinite-dimensional Banach spaces, using various examples from [5], including an HI and an unconditional example, Theorem 14. Moreover we use spaces constructed in [13] to give examples of even and odd spaces of the form C(K), Theorem 18. We also show that the direct sum of essentially incomparable infinite-dimensional spaces is even whenever both spaces are even, Proposition 16.…”
