  Banach space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If V is a Banach space and K is the underlying field (either the real or the complex numbers), then K is itself a Banach space (using the absolute value as norm) and we can define the dual space V′ as V′ = L(V, K), the space of continuous linear maps into K.
The space V* (which may be called the algebraic dual space to distinguish it from V') also induces a weak topology which is finer than that induced by the continuous dual since V′⊆V*.
A space is reflexive if and only if its dual is reflexive, which is the case if and only if its unit ball is compact in the weak topology.

Stefan Banach Stefan Banach (March 30, 1892 in Kraków, part of Poland under the occupation of Austria-Hungary – August 31, 1945 in Lviv, Soviet Union), was a Polish mathematician, one of the moving spirits of the Lwów School of Mathematics in pre-war Poland.
In mathematics, a function space is a set of functions of a given kind from a set X to a set Y. It is called a space because in most applications, it is a topological space or/and a vector space.

 An Introduction to Banach Space Theory
Section 1.12, devoted to separability, includes the Banach-Mazur characterization of separable Banach spaces as isomorphs of quotient spaces of \ell_1, and ends with the characterization of separable normed spaces as the normed spaces that are compactly generated so that the stage is set for the introduction of weakly compactly generated normed spaces in Section 2.8.
The goal of optional Section 2.9 is to obtain James's characterization of weakly compact subsets of a Banach space in terms of the behavior of bounded linear functionals.
Schauder's theorem relating the compactness of a bounded linear operator to that of its adjoint is presented, as is the characterization of operator compactness in terms of the bounded-weak*-to-norm continuity of the adjoint.

 Normed Vector Space
A normed vector space, also called a normed linear space, is a real vector space s with a norm function denoted x.
Thus d becomes a distance metric, and s is a metric space, with the open ball topology.
A banach space is a normed vector space that forms a complete metric space.

We have orthogonal bases, for the full Hilbert space, or just for a (closed) linear subspace of a Hilbert space (non-complete ONS), as the most "beautiful" systems for signal expansions (orthogonal expansions are trivial, however it might be tricky to find a good orthogonal system with certain properties, such as a wavelet basis).
We can also summarize by saying, that in the frame case, the Hilbert space is the "small" one, and l2(I) is the big one, and conversely, in the case of the Riesz basis, the Hilbert space is the small one.
In that case we have a symmetric situation, each spaces is identified with a closed subspace of the other, without forcing the two spaces to be "naturally" identified.

The oriented area of a parallelogram may be taken to be a vector in the space A of alternating real valued bilinear functions over the dual of the space in which the surface is embedded.
Stefan Banach contributed to the problem of the definition of area in Euclidean space and so "Banach Area" may be a confusing term.
A less elegant possibility is that the minimized area (energy) is based on a norm for the space of oriented areas and that this norm is not produced by any norm on the space of the crystal.

 Fields Institute - Workshop on Geometry of Banach spaces and infinite dimensional Ramsey theory
The first such use was the concept of a spreading model of a Banach space due to Brunel and Sucheston,.
The involvement of infinite dimensional Ramsey theory was recently lifted to a higher level of sophistication by W.~T.~Gowers in his positive solution to the homogeneous space problem of Banach: if a Banach space is isomorphic to all of its infinite dimensional subspaces then it is isomorphic to a Hilbert space.
Gowers' Ramsey-theoretic dichotomy for Banach spaces also seems susceptible to a further set-theoretical analysis, in particular in the direction of Ellentuck-type theorems, which are so abundant in the infinite dimensional Ramsey theory.

 Orthonormal Systems and Banach Space Geometry - Cambridge University Press
Probabilistic concepts such as random variables and martingales are employed and Ramsey's theorem is used to study the theory of super-reflexivity.
The text yields a detailed insight into concepts including type and co-type of Banach spaces, B-convexity, super-reflexivity, the vector-valued Fourier transform, the vector-valued Hilbert transform and the unconditionality property for martingale differences (UMD).
This book should be accessible to graduate students and researchers with some basic knowledge of Banach space theory, real analysis, probability and algebra.

Banach space representations and Iwasawa theory, by Peter Schneider and Jeremy Teitelbaum
The lack of a $p$-adic Haar measure causes many methods of traditional representation theory to break down when applied to continuous representations of a compact $p$-adic Lie group $G$ in Banach spaces over a given $p$-adic field $K$.
For example, the abelian group $G=\dZ$ has an enormous wealth of infinite dimensional, topologically irreducible Banach space representations, as may be seen in the paper by Diarra [Dia].

A symmetric with respect to 0, bounded, closed, convex set A in a finite-dimensional normed space X is called a sufficient enlargement for X (or of B(X)) if for arbitrary isometric embedding of X into a Banach space Y there exists a projection P from Y onto X such that P(B(Y)) is contained in A.
The Kadets distance between Banach spaces X and Y is defined as the infimum of the openings between their isometric images in some Banach spaces.
Using the notions of a compact topological space and the Tychonoff theorem, more elegant treatment of weak and weak* topologies, and the duality of Banach spaces was developed by L. Alaoglu, N.Bourbaki and S. Kakutani (1938--1940).

These papers contain a number of constructions for Banach bundles and laid the foundation for later work.
In [2] the construction of tensor products of Banach bundles (projective and inductive) is undertaken, and these tensor products are related to tensor products of Banach modules and their representations.

 AMCA: Solutions to several problems in Banach spaces of continuous functions on non-metrizable compact spaces by Piotr ...
The first construction concerns the question whether there is a Banach space X non-isomorphic to any of its proper subspaces whose particular case for one co-dimensional subspaces, became to be known as the hyperplane problem.
The key result concerns the space of bounded linear operators on our C(K), we prove that any such operator is of the form gI+S where g is a continuous function on K and S is weakly compact or equivalently (in the context of C(K) spaces) strictly singular.
It is the minimal possible space of operators in C(K) spaces, i.e., weakly compact cannot be replaced with compact.
