Introduction to Banach Spaces: Analysis and Probability: Volume 1

This first volume of a two-volume overview covers the basic theory of Banach spaces, harmonic analysis and probability.

This two-volume text provides a complete overview of the theory of Banach spaces. Volume 1 covers the basics of Banach space theory, operatory theory in Banach spaces, harmonic analysis and probability. Written for graduate students, these books are also a valuable reference for researchers in analysis.This two-volume text provides a complete overview of the theory of Banach spaces, emphasising its interplay with classical and harmonic analysis (particularly Sidon sets) and probability. The authors give a full exposition of all results, as well as numerous exercises and comments to complement the text and aid graduate students in functional analysis. The book will also be an invaluable reference volume for researchers in analysis. Volume 1 covers the basics of Banach space theory, operatory theory in Banach spaces, harmonic analysis and probability. The authors also provide an annex devoted to compact Abelian groups. Volume 2 focuses on applications of the tools presented in the first volume, including Dvoretzky's theorem, spaces without the approximation property, Gaussian processes, and more. In volume 2, four leading experts also provide surveys outlining major developments in the field since the publication of the original French edition.
