Operators on Banach spaces taking compact sets inside ranges of vector measures

Abstract

Let <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper X"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">X</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper Y"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">Y</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> be real Banach spaces. We prove that an operator <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper T"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">T</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> from <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper X"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">X</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> into <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper Y"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">Y</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> maps compact subsets of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper X"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>X</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">X</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> into subsets of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper Y"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">Y</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> that lie inside ranges of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper Y"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">Y</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-valued measures if and only if its dual operator <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper T Superscript asterisk"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∗<!-- ∗ --></mml:mo> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{T^ * }</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> factors through a subspace of an <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L Superscript 1 Baseline left-parenthesis mu right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>μ<!-- μ --></mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{L^1}(\mu )</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-space. In fact, we prove that every compact is taken into a subset of a compact range. We also prove that <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper T Superscript asterisk"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:mo>∗<!-- ∗ --></mml:mo> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{T^ * }</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> is <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="1"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">1</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-summing if and only if <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper T"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>T</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">T</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> maps compact subsets into subsets of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper Y"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>Y</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">Y</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> lying inside ranges of vector measures with bounded variation.
