Riassunto

One of the fundamental questions of Banach space theory is whether every Banach space has a basis. A space with a basis gives us a sense of familiarity and concreteness, and perhaps a chance to attempt the classification of all Banach spaces and other problems. This book introduces the reader to some of the basic concepts, results and applications of biorthogonal systems in infinite dimensional geometry of Banach spaces, and in topology and nonlinear analysis in Banach spaces, in a manner accessible to graduate students and researchers with a foundation in Banach space theory. Numerous exercises are included, and the only prerequisites are a basic background in functional analysis.

Dalla quarta di copertina

The main theme of this book is the relation between the global structure
of Banach spaces and the various types of generalized "coordinate
systems" - or "bases" - they possess.  This subject is not new and has
been investigated since the inception of the study of Banach spaces.  In
this book, the authors systematically investigate the concepts of
Markushevich bases, fundamental systems, total systems and their
variants. The material naturally splits into the case of separable
Banach spaces, as is treated in the first two chapters, and the
nonseparable case, which is covered in the remainder of the book.  This
book contains new results, and a substantial portion of this material
has never before appeared in book form.  The book will be of interest to
both researchers and graduate students.

Topics covered in this book include:

- Biorthogonal Systems in Separable Banach Spaces
- Universality and Szlenk Index
- Weak Topologies and Renormings
- Biorthogonal Systems in Nonseparable Spaces
- Transfinite Sequence Spaces
- Applications
