I need to prove the following theorem.



Let $X, Y$ be Banach spaces, with $Y$ weakly sequentially complete. Let $T_n subset mathscrL(X,Y)$ with $Lambda(T_nx)$ converges for all $x in X$, $Lambda in Y^*$. Prove there is a $T in mathscrL(X,Y)$ such that $T_n to T$ in the weak operator topology.



Proof so far: $Lambda(T_nx)$ converges for all $x in X$, $Lambda in Y^*$. Since $Y^*$ is weakly sequentially complete, there is a $y in Y$ such that $Lambda(T_nx) to Lambda y_x$ for all $Lambda in Y^*$. Define $Tx :=y_x$. We need to show $T$ is bounded. Note that because $Lambda(T_nx)$ converges, it is most certainly true that $Lambda(T_nx) : T_n in T_n < infty$. Hence, by a Corollary of the PUB, $|T_n|$ is uniformly bounded by say $M > 0$.



So here now I want to prove that $|T|$ is bounded. Using reverse triangle inequality, we can get that $|Lambda(Tx)| leq M |Lambda| |x|$, but the fact that we have $Lambda$ on the left hand side does not seem to allow me to prove that $T$ is bounded. Reed and Simon do a similar proof with $X = Y$ Hilbert spaces, and they refrain from defining $T$ until later, but they do it using a very clever result of the Riesz Representation Theorem. I'm not sure maybe how to construct an analogous $T$ here instead of choosing the seemingly obvious choice from the fact that $Y$ is weakly sequentially complete. Any hints/help would be much appreciated.

          As you said, we have
          $$|Lambda(Tx)| = left|lim_ntoinfty Lambda(T_n x)right|= lim_ntoinfty|Lambda(T_n x)| le limsup_ntoinfty |Lambda| |T_n||x| le M |Lambda| |x|$$



          so for $widehatTx in Y^**$, the element of $Y^**$ represented by $Tx$ we have



          $$left|widehatTx(Lambda)right| = |Lambda(Tx)| le M |Lambda| |x|$$



          so $|Tx| = left|widehatTxright| le M|x|$.



          Therefore $T$ is bounded and $|T| le M$.



          Finally, for any $x in X$ we have $Lambda(T_n x) to Lambda(Tx), forall Lambdain Y^*$ so $T_nx xrightarroww Tx$. We conclude $T_n to T$ in the weak operator topology.






          A counterexample when $Y$ is only a Banach space:

          Consider $T_n : c_0 to c_0$ given by $T_n(x_k)_k = (overbracex_1, x_1, ldots, x_1^n, 0, 0ldots)$.



          We have $(c_0)^* = ell^1$ so for any $x in c_0, Lambda = (lambda_n)_n in ell^1$ we have



          $$Lambda(T_n x) = Lambda(overbracex_1, x_1, ldots, x_1^n, 0, 0ldots) = x_1cdot sum_k=1^n lambda_n xrightarrowntoinfty x_1cdot sum_k=1^infty lambda_n$$



          so $(Lambda(T_n x))_n$ certainly converges. But $(T_n)_n$ doesn't converge in the weak operator topology. Indeed, for $x = (1, 0, 0, ldots) in c_0$ we have $T_nx = (overbrace1, ldots, 1^n, 0, 0ldots)$. The coordinate-wise limit of this sequence is $(1, 1, ldots) notin c_0$ so $(T_nx)_n$ cannot converge weakly in $c_0$.

          • Thanks for your reply, I am in the middle of reading the solution, but I have a question about the first statement. I also struggled as to whether or not $y_x$ would be dependent upon $Lambda$, but I didn't think so because it said every weakly Cauchy sequence had a weak limit. In other words, weakly Cauchy means weakly convergent, so $y_x$ should be independent of $Lambda$. Is my reasoning incorrect?

          As you said, we have
          $$|Lambda(Tx)| = left|lim_ntoinfty Lambda(T_n x)right|= lim_ntoinfty|Lambda(T_n x)| le limsup_ntoinfty |Lambda| |T_n||x| le M |Lambda| |x|$$



          so for $widehatTx in Y^**$, the element of $Y^**$ represented by $Tx$ we have



          $$left|widehatTx(Lambda)right| = |Lambda(Tx)| le M |Lambda| |x|$$



          so $|Tx| = left|widehatTxright| le M|x|$.



          Therefore $T$ is bounded and $|T| le M$.



          Finally, for any $x in X$ we have $Lambda(T_n x) to Lambda(Tx), forall Lambdain Y^*$ so $T_nx xrightarroww Tx$. We conclude $T_n to T$ in the weak operator topology.






          A counterexample when $Y$ is only a Banach space:

          Consider $T_n : c_0 to c_0$ given by $T_n(x_k)_k = (overbracex_1, x_1, ldots, x_1^n, 0, 0ldots)$.



          We have $(c_0)^* = ell^1$ so for any $x in c_0, Lambda = (lambda_n)_n in ell^1$ we have



          $$Lambda(T_n x) = Lambda(overbracex_1, x_1, ldots, x_1^n, 0, 0ldots) = x_1cdot sum_k=1^n lambda_n xrightarrowntoinfty x_1cdot sum_k=1^infty lambda_n$$



          so $(Lambda(T_n x))_n$ certainly converges. But $(T_n)_n$ doesn't converge in the weak operator topology. Indeed, for $x = (1, 0, 0, ldots) in c_0$ we have $T_nx = (overbrace1, ldots, 1^n, 0, 0ldots)$. The coordinate-wise limit of this sequence is $(1, 1, ldots) notin c_0$ so $(T_nx)_n$ cannot converge weakly in $c_0$.

          Consider $T_n : c_0 to c_0$ given by $T_n(x_k)_k = (overbracex_1, x_1, ldots, x_1^n, 0, 0ldots)$.



          We have $(c_0)^* = ell^1$ so for any $x in c_0, Lambda = (lambda_n)_n in ell^1$ we have



          $$Lambda(T_n x) = Lambda(overbracex_1, x_1, ldots, x_1^n, 0, 0ldots) = x_1cdot sum_k=1^n lambda_n xrightarrowntoinfty x_1cdot sum_k=1^infty lambda_n$$



          so $(Lambda(T_n x))_n$ certainly converges. But $(T_n)_n$ doesn't converge in the weak operator topology. Indeed, for $x = (1, 0, 0, ldots) in c_0$ we have $T_nx = (overbrace1, ldots, 1^n, 0, 0ldots)$. The coordinate-wise limit of this sequence is $(1, 1, ldots) notin c_0$ so $(T_nx)_n$ cannot converge weakly in $c_0$.

          • Thanks for your reply, I am in the middle of reading the solution, but I have a question about the first statement. I also struggled as to whether or not $y_x$ would be dependent upon $Lambda$, but I didn't think so because it said every weakly Cauchy sequence had a weak limit. In other words, weakly Cauchy means weakly convergent, so $y_x$ should be independent of $Lambda$. Is my reasoning incorrect?

          • @user707959 Yes, $(Lambda (T_n x))_n$ is weakly convergent but I'm not sure its clear that the limit does not depentdon $Lambda$. Anyway, I added a possible counterexample, have a look.

          • @user707959 Wait, actually I agree with you, it should be independent of $Lambda$.

            @user707959 It turns out the proof is exactly the same when $Y$ is weakly sequentially complete, because the functional $L_x$ indeed was in $Y$, it was represented precisely by your vector $y_x$. Have a look now.

            Technicality for future readers: note that $widehatTx$ is not yet in $Y^**$ but it is most certainly a linear operator, and we prove it is bounded hence in $Y^**$.
