Uniqueness of unconditional basis of ℓ2⊕T(2)
(American Mathematical Society, 2022) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
We provide a new extension of Pitt’s theorem for compact operators between quasi-Banach lattices which permits to describe unconditional bases of finite direct sums of Banach spaces X1 · · · Xn as direct sums of unconditional bases of their summands. The general splitting principle we obtain yields, in particular, that if each Xi has a unique unconditional basis (up to equivalence and permutation), then X1 · · · Xn has a unique unconditional basis too. Among the novel applications of our techniques to the structure of Banach and quasi-Banach spaces we have that the space ℓ2⊕T(2) has a unique unconditional basis.

Uniqueness of unconditional basis of Hp(T) ⊕ 2 and Hp(T) ⊕ T (2) for 0 < p < 1

Our goal in this paper is to advance the state of the art of the topic of uniqueness of unconditional basis. To that end we establish general conditions on a pair (X, Y) formed by a quasi-Banach space X and a Banach space Y which guarantee that every unconditional basis of their direct sum X ⊕ Y splits into unconditional bases of each summand. As application of our methods we obtain that, among others, the spaces Hp(Td) ⊕ T (2) and Hp(Td) ⊕ 2, for p ∈ (0, 1) and d ∈ N, have a unique unconditional basis (up to equivalence and permutation).

Non-superreflexivity of Garling sequence spaces and applications to the existence of special types of conditional bases

We settle in the negative the problem of the superreflexivity of Garling sequence spaces by showing that they contain a complemented subspace isomorphic to a non-superreflexive mixed-norm sequence space. As a by-product, we give applications to the study of conditional Schauder bases and conditional almost greedy bases in this new class of Banach spaces.

Lipschitz free spaces isomorphic to their infinite sums and geometric applications
(American Mathematical Society, 2021) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Cúth, Marek; Doucha, Michal; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
We find general conditions under which Lipschitz-free spaces over metric spaces are isomorphic to their infinite direct _1-sum and exhibit several applications. As examples of such applications we have that Lipschitz-free spaces over balls and spheres of the same finite dimensions are isomorphic, that the Lipschitz-free space over Zd is isomorphic to its _1-sum, or that the Lipschitz-free space over any snowflake of a doubling metric space is isomorphic to l1. Moreover, following new ideas of Bruè et al. from [J. Funct. Anal. 280 (2021), pp. 108868, 21] we provide an elementary self-contained proof that Lipschitz-free spaces over doubling metric spaces are complemented in Lipschitz-free spaces over their superspaces and they have BAP. Everything, including the results about doubling metric spaces, is explored in the more comprehensive setting of p-Banach spaces, which allows us to appreciate the similarities and differences of the theory between the cases p < 1 and p = 1.

Bidemocratic bases and their connections with other greedy-type bases
(Springer, 2023) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Berasategui, Miguel; Berná, Pablo M.; Lassalle, Silvia; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
In nonlinear greedy approximation theory, bidemocratic bases have traditionally played the role of dualizing democratic, greedy, quasi-greedy, or almost greedy bases. In this article we shift the viewpoint and study them for their own sake, just as we would with any other kind of greedy-type bases. In particular we show that bidemocratic bases need not be quasi-greedy, despite the fact that they retain a strong unconditionality flavor which brings them very close to being quasi-greedy. Our constructive approach gives that for each 1 < p < infinity the space L-p has a bidemocratic basis which is not quasi-greedy. We also present a novel method for constructing conditional quasi-greedy bases which are bidemocratic, and provide a characterization of bidemocratic bases in terms of the new concepts of truncation quasi-greediness and partially demo-cratic bases.

Elton's near unconditionality of bases as a threshold-free form of greediness
(Elsevier, 2023) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Berasategui, Miguel; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
Elton's near unconditionality and quasi-greediness for largest coefficients are two properties of bases that made their appearance in functional analysis from very different areas of research. One of our aims in this note is to show that, oddly enough, they are connected to the extent that they are equivalent notions. We take advantage of this new description of the former property to further the study of the threshold function associated with near unconditionality. Finally, we make a contribution to the isometric theory of greedy bases by characterizing those bases that are 1-quasi-greedy for largest coefficients.

Submultiplicative norms in CC(K) spaces with applications to uniform algebras
(Springer, 2024) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Blasco, Óscar; Briem, E.; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
Certain algebra norms on the algebra of functions on a two-point set are defined and used to construct a new family of parametric algebra norms on the space CC(K) of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space. As a by-product of our work we transfer our construction to uniform algebras to obtain a new collection of norms with special properties.

Greedy approximation for biorthogonal systems in quasi-Banach spaces
(Instytut Matematyczny, 2021) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Berná, Pablo M.; Wojtaszczyk, Przemyslaw; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
The general problem addressed in this work is the development of a systematic study of the thresholding greedy algorithm for general biorthogonal systems in quasi-Banach spaces from a functional-analytic point of view. If (Formula Presented) is a biorthogonal system in X then for each x ∈ X we have a formal expansion (Formula Presented). The thresholding greedy algorithm (with threshold ε > 0) applied to x is formally defined as (Formula Presented). The properties of this operator give rise to the different classes of greedy-type bases. We revisit the concepts of greedy, quasi-greedy, and almost greedy bases in this comprehensive framework and provide the (non-trivial) extensions of the corresponding characterizations of those types of bases. As a by-product of our work, new properties arise, and the relations among them are carefully discussed.

New parameters and Lebesgue-type estimates in greedy approximation
(Cambridge University Press, 2022) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Berná, Pablo M.; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
The purpose of this paper is to quantify the size of the Lebesgue constants (𝑳𝑚)∞ 𝑚=1 associated with the thresholding greedy algorithm in terms of a new generation of parameters that modulate accurately some features of a general basis. This fine tuning of constants allows us to provide an answer to the question raised by Temlyakov in 2011 to find a natural sequence of greedy-type parameters for arbitrary bases in Banach (or quasi-Banach) spaces which combined linearly with the sequence of unconditionality parameters (𝒌𝑚)∞ 𝑚=1 determines the growth of (𝑳𝑚)∞ 𝑚=1. Multiple theoretical applications and computational examples complement our study.

Counterexamples in isometric theory of symmetric and greedy bases
(Elsevier, 2024) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Blasco, Óscar; Chu, Hùng Việt; Oikhberg, Timur; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
We continue the study initiated in Albiac and Wojtaszczyk (2006) of properties related to greedy bases in the case when the constants involved are sharp, i.e., in the case when they are equal to 1. Our main goal here is to provide an example of a Banach space with a basis that satisfies Property (A) but fails to be 1-suppression unconditional, thus settling Problem 4.4 from Albiac and Ansorena (2017). In particular, our construction demonstrates that bases with Property (A) need not be 1-greedy even with the additional assumption that they are unconditional and symmetric. We also exhibit a finite-dimensional counterpart of this example, and show that, at least in the finite-dimensional setting, Property (A) does not pass to the dual. As a by-product of our arguments, we prove that a symmetric basis is unconditional if and only if it is total, thus generalizing the well-known result that symmetric Schauder bases are unconditional.
