Operator Geometry of Hilbert Ball Automorphisms
Saikat Roy
We consider the operator--theoretic model for the group of biholomorphic automorphisms of the unit ball of a complex Hilbert space $\H$ by representing each automorphi…
Norming Approximate Orthogonality in Normed Linear Spaces
Saikat Roy
We introduce and study the notion of \emph{norming approximate orthogonality}, a two-parameter generalization of Birkhoff--James orthogonality in normed linear spaces. For $δ, \va…
Polyhedral norms and smooth Hahn-Banach extension
Saikat Roy
We find a necessary and sufficient condition for a smooth functional on a subspace to admit a norm-preserving smooth extension to the entire space in polyhedral norms. The characte…
A characterization of Banach spaces with numerical index one
Subhadip Pal, Saikat Roy, Debmalya Sain
We investigate the extremal properties of the unit ball of , the dual space of bounded linear operators defined on a Banach space equipped with the numerical radius n…
Distance and best approximations in operator norm and trace class norm
Saikat Roy
We study the best approximation and distance problems in the operator space $\B(\HS)$ and in the space of trace class operators $\LS^1(\B(\HS))$. Formulations of distances are obta…
A dilation theoretic approach to Banach spaces
Swapan Jana, Sourav Pal, Saikat Roy
For a complex Banach space , we prove that is a Hilbert space if and only if every strict contraction on dilates to an isometry if and only i…
