Dept. of Mathematics, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute (RKMVERI) has organised an colloquium on “Birkhoff-James orthogonality in spaces of operators” by Professor TSSRK Rao, CARAMS, Manipal Academy of Higher Education on 24 September 2021.
Title: Birkhoff-James orthogonality in spaces of operators
Abstract
Birkhoff-James orthogonality is one very successful extension of the orthogonality notion in a Hilbert space. A challenging problem is to understand this in concrete Banach spaces. Motivated by the seminal work of R. Bhatia and P. Semrl, that interprets this orthogonality for individual operators on Hilbert spaces, we derive results in the context of Banach spaces, on operators that are Birkhoff-James orthogonal to a class of operators. This is linked to a hard minimax problem in convex optimization and is partly solved here, using techniques from Geometry of Banach spaces.
