Trends in Banach Spaces and Operator Theory: A Conference on Trends in Banach Spaces and Operator Theory, October 5-9, 2001, University of Memphis

Twenty-five papers from the October 2001 conference present recent advances in theories of Banach spaces and linear operators. Several of the contributors explore Banach and operator space structure of C*- algebras, and Banach spaces with small spaces of operators or with abundance of non-trivial operators. Other topics include the permanence properties of the projective tensor product, linear operator pencils and inclusions of images of balls, the convex geometry of Coxeter invariant polyhedra, and Fourier algebras for locally compact groupoids.
