A Short Course on Banach Space Theory

More about the book

Focusing on the classical aspects of Banach space theory, this short course covers three key topics: Schauder bases, Lp spaces, and C(K) spaces. It highlights the postwar revival of the field led by notable mathematicians such as James and Lindenstrauss, showcasing their impactful results. A foundational knowledge of functional analysis and some exposure to abstract measure theory is required, along with a basic understanding of topology, although an appendix is provided for necessary topological concepts.
