Weighted composition operators on the predual and dual Banach spaces of Beurling algebras on Z

Let vv be a weight sequence on ZZ and let ψ,φψ,φ be complex-valued functions on ZZ such that φ(Z)⊂Zφ(Z)⊂Z. In this paper we study the boundedness, compactness and weak compactness of weighted composition operators Cψ,φCψ,φ on predual Banach spaces c0(Z,1/v)c0(Z,1/v) and dual Banach spaces ℓ∞(Z,1/v)ℓ∞(Z,1/v) of Beurling algebras ℓ1(Z,v)ℓ1(Z,v).

On Gruenhage spaces, separating σ-isolated families, and their relatives

We prove that, given a topological space X, the following conditions are equivalent. (α) X is a Gruenhage space. (β) X has a countable cover by sets of small local diameter (property SLD) by F∩G sets. (γ) X has a separating σ-isolated family M⊂F∩G. (δ) X has a one-to-one continuous map into a metric space which has a σ-isolated base of F∩G sets. Besides, we provide an example which shows Fragmentability ⇏ property SLD ⇏ the space to be Gruenhage.
