Linear Analysis | Part II, 2013

Let XX be a Banach space. Let T:X→ℓ∞T: X \rightarrow \ell_{\infty} be a bounded linear operator. Show that there is a bounded sequence (fn)n=1∞\left(f_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty} in X∗X^{*} such that Tx=(fnx)n=1∞T x=\left(f_{n} x\right)_{n=1}^{\infty} for all x∈Xx \in X.

Fix 1<p<∞1<p<\infty. Define the Banach space ℓp\ell_{p} and briefly explain why it is separable. Show that for x∈ℓpx \in \ell_{p} there exists f∈ℓp∗f \in \ell_{p}^{*} such that ∥f∥=1\|f\|=1 and f(x)=∥x∥pf(x)=\|x\|_{p}. [You may use Hölder's inequality without proof.]

Deduce that ℓp\ell_{p} embeds isometrically into ℓ∞\ell_{\infty}.
