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.

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.

Linear versus nonlinear forms of partial unconditionality of bases

The main results in this paper contribute to bringing to the fore novel underlying connections between the contemporary concepts and methods springing from greedy approximation theory with the well-established techniques of classical Banach spaces. We do that by showing that bounded-oscillation unconditional bases, introduced by Dilworth et al. in 2009 in the setting of their search for extraction principles of subsequences verifying partial forms of unconditionality, are the same as truncation quasi-greedy bases, a new breed of bases that appear naturally in the study of the performance of the thresholding greedy algorithm in Banach spaces. We use this identification to provide examples of bases that exhibit that bounded-oscillation unconditionality is a stronger condition than Elton's near unconditionality. We also take advantage of our arguments to provide examples that allow us to tell apart certain types of bases that verify either debilitated unconditionality conditions or weaker forms of quasi-greediness in the context of abstract approximation theory.

Lipschitz free spaces isomorphic to their infinite sums and geometric applications

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Building highly conditional almost greedy and quasi-greedy bases in Banach spaces
(Elsevier, 2019) Albiac Alesanco, Fernando José; Ansorena, José L.; Dilworth, S. J.; Kutzarova, Denka; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
It is known that for a conditional quasi-greedy basis B in a Banach space X, the associated sequence (k(m)[B](m=1)(infinity) of its conditionality constants verifies the estimate k(m)[B] = O(log m) and that if the reverse inequality log m =O(k(m)[B]) holds then X is non-superreflexive. Indeed, it is known that a quasi-greedy basis in a superreflexive quasi-Banach space fulfils the estimate k(m)[B] =O(log m)(1-epsilon) for some epsilon > 0. However, in the existing literature one finds very few instances of spaces possessing quasi-greedy basis with conditionality constants "as large as possible." Our goal in this article is to fill this gap. To that end we enhance and exploit a technique developed by Dilworth et al. in [15] and craft a wealth of new examples of both non-superreflexive classical Banach spaces having quasi-greedy bases B with k(m)[B] = O(log m) and superreflexiye classical Banach spaces having for every epsilon > 0 quasi-greedy bases B with k(m)[B] = O(log m)(1-epsilon). Moreover, in most cases those bases will be almost greedy.
