Universal stability of Banach spaces for $\varepsilon$-isometries

Abstract

Let $X$, $Y$ be two real Banach spaces and $\varepsilon>0$. A standard $\varepsilon$-isometry $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is said to be $(α,γ)$-stable (with respect to $T:L(f)\equiv\overline{\rm span}f(X)\rightarrow X$ for some $α, γ>0$) if $T$ is a linear operator with $\|T\|\leqα$ so that $Tf-Id$ is uniformly bounded by $γ\varepsilon$ on $X$. The pair $(X,Y)$ is said to be stable if every standard $\varepsilon$-isometry $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is $(α,γ)$-stable for some $α,γ>0$. $X (Y)$ is said to be universally left (right)-stable, if $(X,Y)$ is always stable for every $Y (X)$. In this paper, we show that universal right-stability spaces are just Hilbert spaces; every injective space is universally left-stable; a Banach space $X$ isomorphic to a subspace of $\ell_\infty$ is universally left-stable if and only if it is isomorphic to $\ell_\infty$; and that a separable space $X$ satisfies the condition that $(X,Y)$ is left-stable for every separable $Y$ if and only if it is isomorphic to $c_0$.
