Mena-Jurado Dep. de Análisis Matemático, Universidad de Granada, Avenida Fuentenueva S/N., 18071 Granada, Spain jfmena@ugr.es We study Banach spaces X, which we call nice, such that any extreme operator T from a Banach space Y to X is a nice operator, that is, T*, the adjoint of T, preserves extreme points. We get several necessary conditions for being nice. The main result in the paper is the characterization of nice finite-dimensional Banach spaces. Keywords: Banach space, extreme operator, nice operator. MSC: 46B20, 46B04 [ Fulltext-pdf (142 KB)] for subscribers only. |
