Let $X, Y$ be complete metric spaces and $E, F$ be Banach spaces. A bijective linear operator from a space of $E$-valued functions on $X$ to a space of $F$-valued functions on $Y$ is said to be biseparating if $f$ and $g$ are disjoint if and only if $Tf$ and $Tg$ are disjoint. We introduce the class of generalized Lipschitz spaces, which includes as special cases the classes of Lipschitz, little Lipschitz and uniformly continuous functions. Linear biseparating maps between generalized Lipschitz spaces are characterized as weighted composition operators, i.e., of the form $Tf(y) = S_y(f(h^{-1}(y))$ for a family of vector space isomorphisms $S_y: E to F$ and a homeomorphism $h : Xto Y$. We also investigate the continuity of $T$ and related questions. Here the functions involved (as well as the metric spaces $X$ and $Y$) may be unbounded. Also, the arguments do not require the use of compactification of the spaces $X$ and $Y$.
An additive map $T$ acting between spaces of vector-valued functions is said to be biseparating if $T$ is a bijection so that $f$ and $g$ are disjoint if and only if $Tf$ and $Tg$ are disjoint. Note that an additive bijection retains $mathbb{Q}$-linearity. For a general nonlinear map $T$, the definition of biseparating given above turns out to be too weak to determine the structure of $T$. In this paper, we propose a revised definition of biseparating maps for general nonlinear operators acting between spaces of vector-valued functions, which coincides with the previous definition for additive maps. Under some mild assumptions on the function spaces involved, it turns out that a map is biseparating if and only if it is locally determined. We then delve deeply into some specific function spaces -- spaces of continuous functions, uniformly continuous functions and Lipschitz functions -- and characterize the biseparating maps acting on them. As a by-product, certain forms of automatic continuity are obtained. We also prove some finer properties of biseparating maps in the cases of uniformly continuous and Lipschitz functions.
We continue the study dilation of linear maps on vector spaces introduced by Bhat, De, and Rakshit. This notion is a variant of vector space dilation introduced by Han, Larson, Liu, and Liu. We derive vector spa
In 1997, J. Jost [27] and F. H. Lin [39], independently proved that every energy minimizing harmonic map from an Alexandrov space with curvature bounded from below to an Alexandrov space with non-positive curvature is locally Holder continuous. In [39], F. H. Lin proposed a challenge problem: Can the Holder continuity be improved to Lipschitz continuity? J. Jost also asked a similar problem about Lipschitz regularity of harmonic maps between singular spaces (see Page 38 in [28]). The main theorem of this paper gives a complete resolution to it.
Utilizing the stability characterizations of generalized inverses of linear operator, we investigate the existence of generalized resolvents of linear pencils in Banach spaces. Some practical criterions for the existence of generalized resolvents of the linear pencil $lambdarightarrow T-lambda S$ are provided and an explicit expression of the generalized resolvent is given. As applications, the characterization for the Moore-Penrose inverse of the linear pencil to be its generalized resolvent and the existence of the generalized resolvents of linear pencils of finite rank operators, Fredholm operators and semi-Fredholm operators are also considered. The results obtained in this paper extend and improve many results in this area.
Motivated by the local theory of Banach spaces we introduce a notion of finite representability for metric spaces. This allows us to develop a new technique for comparing the generalized roundness of metric spaces. We illustrate this technique in two different ways by applying it to Banach spaces and metric trees. In the realm of Banach spaces we obtain results such as the following: (1) if $mathcal{U}$ is any ultrafilter and $X$ is any Banach space, then the second dual $X^{astast}$ and the ultrapower $(X)_{mathcal{U}}$ have the same generalized roundness as $X$, and (2) no Banach space of positive generalized roundness is uniformly homeomorphic to $c_{0}$ or $ell_{p}$, $2 < p < infty$. Our technique also leads to the identification of new classes of metric trees of generalized roundness one. In particular, we give the first examples of metric trees of generalized roundness one that have finite diameter. These results on metric trees provide a natural sequel to a paper of Caffarelli, Doust and Weston. In addition, we show that metric trees of generalized roundness one possess special Euclidean embedding properties that distinguish them from all other metric trees.
