About this book

This book grew out of a one-semester course given by the second author in 2001 and a subsequent two-semester course in 2004-2005, both at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The text is intended for a graduate student who has already had a basic introduction to functional analysis; the aim is to give a reasonably brief and self-contained introduction to classical Banach space theory. Banach space theory has advanced dramatically in the last 50 years and we believe that the techniques that have been developed are very powerful and should be widely disseminated amongst analysts in general and not restricted to a small group of specialists. Therefore we hope that this book will also prove of interest to an audience who may not wish to pursue research in this area but still would like to understand what is known about the structure of the classical spaces. Classical Banach space theory developed as an attempt to answer very natural questions on the structure of Banach spaces; many of these questions date back to the work of Banach and his school in Lvov. It enjoyed, perhaps, its golden period between 1950 and 1980, culminating in the definitive books by Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri [138] and [139], in 1977 and 1979 respectively. The subject is still very much alive but the reader will see that much of the basic groundwork was done in this period.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"Geometry of Banach Spaces is a quite technical field which requires a fair practice of sharp tools from every domain of analysis. … The authors of the book under review succeeded admirably in creating a very helpful text, which contains essential topics with optimal proofs, while being reader friendly. … the book is essentially self-contained. It is also written in a lively manner, and its involved mathematical proofs are elucidated and illustrated … . I strongly recommend to every graduate student … ." (Gilles Godefroy, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 h)

"This book gives a self-contained overview of the fundamental ideas and basic techniques in modern Banach space theory. … In this book one can find a systematic and coherent account of numerous theorems and examples obtained by many remarkable mathematicians. … It is intended for graduate students and specialists in classical functional analysis. … I think that any mathematician who is interested in geometry of Banach spaces should … look over this book. Undoubtedly, the book will be a useful addition to any mathematical library." (Peter Zabreiko, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1094 (20), 2006)

"This book provides a sequel treatise on classical and modern Banach space theory. It is mainly focused on the study of classical Lebesgue spaces Lp, sequence spaces lp, and Banach spaces of continuous functions. … There is a comprehensive bibliography (225 items). The book is understandable and requires only a basic knowledge of functional analysis … . It can be warmly recommended to a broad spectrum of readers – to graduate students, young researchers and also to specialists in the field." (EMS Newsletter, March, 2007)
