The Szlenk index and the fixed point property under renorming

Domínguez Benavides, Tomás

Abstract

Assume that X is a Banach space such that its Szlenk index Sz X is less than or equal to the first infinite ordinal ω. We prove that X can be renormed in such a way that X with the resultant norm satisfies R X < 2, where R · is the García-Falset coefficient. This leads us to prove that if X is a Banach space which can be continuously embedded in a Banach space Y with Sz Y ≤ ω, then, X can be renormed to satisfy the w-FPP. This result can be applied to Banach spaces which can be embedded in C K , where K is a scattered compact topological space such that K ω ∅. Furthermore, for a Banach space X, ·, we consider a distance in the space P of all norms in X which are equivalent to · for which P becomes a Baire space. If Sz X ≤ ω, we show that for almost all norms in the sense of porosity in P, X satisfies the w-FPP. For general reflexive spaces independently of the Szlenk index, we prove another strong generic result in the sense of Baire category.

I is usually said ha a Banach space Xsa is ies he weak Fixed Poin P ope y w-FPPi o e e y con ex weakly compac subse Co X, each nonexpansi e mapping T:C→Chas a ixed poin .

Howe e , no cha ac e iza ion o he w-FPP in e ms o hese p ope ies is known. The e o e, we can ega d he w-FPP as an in insic p ope y o a Banach space. Since he w-FPP is no p ese ed unde isomo phisms, a e y 2 Fixed Poin Theo y and Applica ions na u al ques ion in Reno ming Theo y and Fixed Poin Theo y would be he ollowing: le Xbe a Banach space. Is i possible o eno m Xso ha he esul an space has he w-FPP? This is no gene ally he case. Indeed, Pa ing on 7,8has p o ed ha e e y eno ming o ∞Γ o an uncoun able se Γand any eno ming o ∞/c0con ains an isome ic copy o ∞and, consequen ly, i ails he w-FPP due o Alspach example 9. Thus, i would be in e es ing o iden i y some classes o Banach spaces which can be eno med o sa is y he w-FPP. Fo ins ance, Day e al. 10ha e p o ed ha e e y sepa able Banach space has a UCED eno ming. Since uni o m con exi y in e e y di ec ion implies no mal s uc u e and his p ope y implies he w-FPP see, e.g., 4, we ob ain ha any sepa able Banach space can be eno med o sa is y he w-FPP. These a gumen s do no wo k o nonsepa able spaces because, as men ioned abo e, he e a e some Banach spaces which canno be eno med o sa is y he w-FPP. In ac , in 10, i is shown ha c0Γ has no UCED eno ming i Γis uncoun able. Since in 11an example is gi en o a e lexi e Banach spaces which does no admi any UCED eno ming, he ollowing ques ion, which appea s in 12, Open Ques ion VIand 1, P oblem VII.3and which emained unanswe ed o a long ime, seems o be e y na u al: can any e lexi e Banach space be eno med o sa is y he w-FPP? In 13i is shown ha his is indeed he case. Ac ually, he ollowing esul is p o ed in 13: assume ha Xis a Banach space such ha he e exis s a bounded one-one linea ope a o om Xin o c0Γ. Then, Xhas an equi alen no m which sa is ies he w-FPP. This embedding p ope y is sa is ied by a e y gene al class o Banach spaces, o ins ance subspaces o a space wi h Ma kushe ich basis, as WCG spaces and so sepa able and e lexi e spaces, dual o sepa able spaces as ∞, and so o h.

In 16 we p o e his ex ension in he ollowing sense: assume ha Yis a Banach space such ha RY<2, whe e R·is Ga c´ ıa-False ’s coefficien , and Xis a Banach space which can be con inuously embedded in Y. Then, Xcan be eno med o sa is y he w-FPP. In his pape we will use he Szlenk index o show a wide class o Banach spaces X which can be eno med o sa is y RX<2. The Szlenk index SzX17is an o dinal numbe which was in oduced o p o e ha he e is no sepa able e lexi e Banach space uni e sal o he class o all sepa able e lexi e Banach spaces.

Thus, i a Banach space can be con inuously embedded in c0Γ hen, i can also be embedded in CK, whe e Kis a sca e ed compac opological space such ha Kω∅. Since CKsa is ies he w-FPP 20when Kis a sca e ed compac opological space Ksuch ha Kω∅, ano he na u al ques ion would be he ollowing: assume ha Xis a Banach space which can be con inuously embedded in CK o some Kas abo e. Can Xbe eno med o sa is y he w-FPP? Using he esul s abou he Szlenk index and he main esul in 16, we can p o e ha his is indeed he case. Nominally, since SzCK ≤ωi and only i Kis as abo e, we ob ain he ollowing: le CKbe he Fixed Poin Theo y and Applica ions 3 space o eal con inuous unc ions de ined on a sca e ed compac opological space Ksuch ha Kω∅.
