Approximation properties and quantitative estimation for uniform ball-covering property of operator spaces (2507.02261v1)

Abstract: In this paper, by dilation technique on Schauder frames, we extend Godefroy and Kalton's approximation theorem (1997), and obtain that a separable Banach space has the $\lambda$-unconditional bounded approximation property ($\lambda$-UBAP) if and only if, for any $\varepsilon>0$, it can be embeded into a $(\lambda+\varepsilon)$-complemented subspace of a Banach space with an $1$-unconditional finite-dimensional decomposition ($1$-UFDD). As applications on ball-covering property (BCP) (Cheng, 2006) of operator spaces, also based on the relationship between the $\lambda$-UBAP and block unconditional Schauder frames, we prove that if $X^\ast$, $Y$ are separable and (1) $X$ or $Y$ has the $\lambda$-reverse metric approximation property ($\lambda$-RMAP) for some $\lambda>1$; or (2) $X$ or $Y$ has an approximating sequence ${S_n}{n=1}^\infty$ such that $\lim_n|id-2S_n| < 3/2$, then the space of bounded linear operators $B(X,Y)$ has the uniform ball-covering property (UBCP). Actually, we give uniformly quantitative estimation for the renormed spaces. We show that if $X^\ast$, $Y$ are separable and $X$ or $Y$ has the $(2-\varepsilon)$-UBAP for any $\varepsilon>0$, then for all $1-\varepsilon/2 < \alpha \leq 1$, the renormed space $Z\alpha=(B(X,Y),|\cdot|_\alpha)$ has the $(2\alpha, 2\alpha+\varepsilon-2-\sigma)$-UBCP for all $0 <\sigma < 2\alpha+\varepsilon-2$. Furthermore, we point out the connections between the UBCP, u-ideals and the ball intersection property (BIP).
