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 infinite direct sums of quasi-Banach spaces
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2022) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
This paper is devoted to providing a unifying approach to the study of the uniqueness of unconditional bases, up to equivalence and permutation, of infinite direct sums of quasi-Banach spaces. Our new approach to this type of problem permits to show that a wide class of vector-valued sequence spaces have a unique unconditional basis up to a permutation. In particular, solving a problem from Albiac and Leránoz (J Math Anal Appl 374(2):394-401, 2011. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmaa.2010.09.048) we show that if X is quasi-Banach space with a strongly absolute unconditional basis then the infinite direct sum -1(X) has a unique unconditional basis up to a permutation, even without knowing whether X has a unique unconditional basis or not. Applications to the uniqueness of unconditional structure of infinite direct sums of non-locally convex Orlicz and Lorentz sequence spaces, among other classical spaces, are also obtained as a by-product of our work.

Unconditional and quasi-greedy bases in L-p with applications to Jacobi polynomials Fourier series
(European Mathematical Society, 2019) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Ciaurri, Óscar; Varona, Juan L.; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
We show that the decreasing rearrangement of the Fourier series with respect to the Jacobi polynomials for functions in L-p does not converge unless p = 2. As a by-product of our work on quasi-greedy bases in L-p(µ), we show that no normalized unconditional basis in L-p, p not equal 2, can be semi-normalized in L-q for q not equal p, thus extending a classical theorem of Kadets and Pelczynski from 1968.

Asymptotic greediness of the Haar system in the spaces Lp[0 , 1] , 1< p< ∞
(Springer, 2019) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Berná, Pablo M.; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
Our aim in this paper is to attain a sharp asymptotic estimate for the greedy constant Cg[H(p), Lp] of the (normalized) Haar system H(p) in Lp[0 , 1] for 1 < p < ∞. We will show that the super-democracy constant of H(p) in Lp[0 , 1] grows as p∗= max { p, p/ (p- 1) } as p∗ goes to ∞. Thus, since the unconditionality constant of H(p) in Lp[0 , 1] is p∗- 1 , the well-known general estimates for the greedy constant of a greedy basis obtained from the intrinsic features of greediness (namely, democracy and unconditionality) yield that p∗≲Cg[H(p),Lp]≲(p∗)2. Going further, we develop techniques that allow us to close the gap between those two bounds, establishing that, in fact, Cg[H(p), Lp] ≈ p∗. Our work answers a question that was raised by Hytonen (2015).

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.

Projections and unconditional bases in direct sums of ℓp SPACES, 0
(Wiley, 2021) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
We show that every unconditional basis in a finite direct sum ⊕p∈Aℓp , with A ⊂ (0,∞], splits into unconditional bases of each summand. This settles a 40 years old question raised in 'A. Ortyński, Unconditional bases in ℓp ⊕ ℓq, 0< p < q <1, Math. Nachr. 103 (1981), 109–116'. As an application we obtain that for any A ⊂ (0,1] finite, the spaces Z = ⊕p∈A ℓp,Z ⊕ ℓ2, and Z ⊕ c0 have a unique unconditional basis up to permutation.
