Modular Dvoretzky conjecture for Banach modules over C*-algebras

About 3 years old · traced to

Let A\mathcal{A} be a unital C*-algebra with the invariant basis number property, and let E\mathcal{E} be an nn-rank Banach module over A\mathcal{A}. For k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N}, write Ak\mathcal{A}^k for the standard Hilbert C*-module with inner product

⟨(aj)j=1k,(bj)j=1k⟩=∑j=1kajbj∗.\langle (a_j)_{j=1}^k,(b_j)_{j=1}^k\rangle=\sum_{j=1}^k a_jb_j^*.

For Banach modules of the same rank, let dMBMd_{MBM} denote the infimum of ∥T∥∥T−1∥\|T\|\|T^{-1}\| over invertible module homomorphisms TT. Modular Dvoretzky conjecture. For every such A\mathcal{A}, there is a universal constant C>0C>0, possibly depending on A\mathcal{A}, such that whenever 0<ε<130<\varepsilon<\frac{1}{3} and

k≤Clog⁡nε2∣log⁡ε∣,k\leq C\log n\frac{\varepsilon^2}{|\log\varepsilon|},

there exists a kk-rank Banach submodule F⊆E\mathcal{F}\subseteq\mathcal{E} satisfying

dMBM(F,(Ak,⟨⋅,⋅⟩))<1+ε.d_{MBM}\bigl(\mathcal{F},(\mathcal{A}^k,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)\bigr)<1+\varepsilon.

The conjecture is the modular analogue of Dvoretzky's theorem, seeking quantitative almost-Euclidean submodules of Banach modules over a fixed unital C*-algebra. Its status is not resolved by the supplied text; the broader modular Dvoretzky problem asks for the best possible function governing such dimensions.
