Quasinormal structures for certain spaces of operators on a Hilbert space

Anthony To-Ming Lau and Peter F. Mah

Vol. 121 (1986), No. 1, 109–118
Abstract

Let E be a dual Banach space. E is said to have quasi-weak-normal structure if for each weak compact convex subset K of E there exists x K such that x y< diam(K) for all y K. E is said to satisfy Lim’s condition if whenever {xα} is a bounded net in E converging to 0 in the weak topology and limxα= s then limαxα + y= s + yfor any y E. Lim’s condition implies (quasi) weak-normal structure. Let H be a Hilbert space. In this paper, we prove that 𝒯 (H), the space of trace class operators on H, always has quasi-weak-normal structure for any H; 𝒯 (H) satisfies Lim’s condition if and only if H is finite dimensional. We also prove that the space of bounded linear operator on H has quasi-weak-normal structure if and only if H is finite dimensional; the space of compact operators on H has quasi-weak-normal structure if and only if H is separable. Finally we prove that if X is a locally compact Hausdorff space, then C0(X) satisfies Lim’s condition if and only if C0(X) is isometrically isomorphic to l1(Γ) for some non-empty set Γ.
