Abstract:Abstract. We prove that a finite-dimensional Banach space X has numerical index 0 if and only if it is the direct sum of a real space X 0 and nonzero complex spaces X 1 , . . . , Xn in such a way that the equalityholds for suitable positive integers q 1 , . . . , qn, and every ρ ∈ R and every x j ∈ X j (j = 0, 1, . . . , n). If the dimension of X is two, then the above result gives X = C, whereas dim(X) = 3 implies that X is an absolute sum of R and C. We also give an example showing that, in general, the numb… Show more
“…It is a well known result (see [14,Corollary 2.5] and [15, Theorem 3.1]) that the only two dimensional real space with numerical index 0 is the Euclidean space. The above theorem allows us to give a different and elementary proof of this fact.…”
We study two-dimensional Banach spaces with polynomial numerical indices equal to zero.Recently, Y. S. Choi, D. García, S. G. Kim and M. Maestre [2] have introduced the polynomial numerical index of order k of a Banach space X as the constant n (k) (X) defined by n (k) (X) = max c 0 : c P v(P ) ∀ P ∈ P k X; X = inf v(P ) : P ∈ P k X; X , P = 1 for every k ∈ N. This concept is a generalization of the numerical index of a Banach space (recovered for k = 1) which was first suggested by G. Lumer in 1968 [7].Let us recall some facts about the polynomial numerical index which are relevant to our discussion. We refer the reader to the already cited [2] and to [4,12,13] for recent results and background. The easiest examples are n (k) (R) = 1 and n (k) (C) = 1 for every k ∈ N. In the complex case, n (k) (C(K)) = 1 for every k ∈ N and n (2) (ℓ 1 ) 1 2 . The real spaces ℓ m 1 , ℓ m ∞ , c 0 , ℓ 1 and ℓ ∞ have polynomial numerical index of order 2 equal to 1/2 ([12]). The only finite-dimensional real Banach space X with n (2) (X) = 1 is X = R ([13]). The inequality n (k+1) (X) n (k) (X) holds for 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

“…For instance, if ⊕ a = ⊕ 2 , then n (X R ) = 1, while if ⊕ a = ⊕ ∞ or ⊕ a = ⊕ 1 , then 1/2 n (X R ) √ 3/2 (see corollary 4.8). Finite-dimensional real spaces with numerical index zero were characterized in [24], where a structure result is given. By proposition 2.1, the second numerical index of all of them is positive.…”
We introduce a second numerical index for real Banach spaces with non-trivial Lie algebra, as the best constant of equivalence between the numerical radius and the quotient of the operator norm modulo the Lie algebra. We present a number of examples and results concerning absolute sums, duality, vector-valued function spaces…which show that, in many cases, the behaviour of this second numerical index differs from the one of the classical numerical index. As main results, we prove that Hilbert spaces have second numerical index one and that they are the only spaces with this property among the class of Banach spaces with one-unconditional basis and non-trivial Lie algebra. Besides, an application to the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for the numerical radius is given.
“…Therefore, as we may nd polyhedral norms as close to the norm of Y as we want, there exists a polyhedral norm such that, calling W to the space Y endowed with the this norm, we still have n comp (W ) < n r (W ). Moreover, since W is polyhedral it cannot contain an isometric copy of C, so Theorem 2.4 in [15] tells us that n comp (W ) = 0. Now, we may follow the lines of the proof of Example 4.1 and consider the space…”
We study the rank-one numerical index of a Banach space, namely the inmum of the numerical radii of those rank-one operators on the space which have norm-one. We show that the rank-one numerical index is always greater or equal than 1/ e. We also present properties of this index and some 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.
