Separable Banach Spaces.- Universality and the Szlenk Index.- Review of Weak Topology and Renormings.- Biorthogonal Systems in Nonseparable Spaces.- Markushevich Bases.- Weak Compact Generating.- Transfinite Sequence Spaces.- More Applications.
This book introduces the reader to some of the basic concepts, results and applications of biorthogonal systems in infinite dimensional geometry of Banach spaces, and in topology and nonlinear analysis in Banach spaces. It achieves this in a manner accessible to graduate students and researchers who have a foundation in Banach space theory. The authors have included numerous exercises, as well as open problems that point to possible directions of research.
