-asymptotically uniformly smooth, -asymptotically uniformly convex, and operators
Ryan M. Causey, Stephen J. Dilworth
For each ordinal , we define the notions of -asymptotically uniformly smooth and --asymptotically uniformly convex operators. When , these extend the notions of…
Szlenk and -dentability indices of
Ryan M Causey
Given any compact, Hausdorff space and , we compute the Szlenk and -dentability indices of the spaces and . We show that if is compact, H…
Metrical Characterizations of super weakly compact operators
Ryan M. Causey, Stephen J. Dilworth
We characterize super weakly compact operators as those through which binary tree and diamond and Laakso graphs may not be factored with uniform distortion.
On a generalization of Bourgain's tree index
Kevin Beanland, Ryan Causey
For a Banach space , a sequence of Banach spaces , and a Banach space with an unconditional basis, D. Alspach and B. Sari introduced a generalization of a Bourgain tr…
An alternate description of the Szlenk index with applications
Ryan M. Causey
We discuss an alternate method for computing the Szlenk index of an arbitrary compact subset of the dual of a Banach space. We discuss consequences of this method as well as…
Proximity to and in Banach spaces
Ryan Causey
We construct a class of minimal trees and use these trees to establish a number of coloring theorems on general trees. Among the applications of these trees and coloring theorems a…
