On Weak∗-Extensible Subspaces of Banach Spaces

Let X be a Banach space and Y⊆X be a closed subspace. We prove that if the quotient X/Y is weakly Lindelöf determined or weak Asplund, then for every w∗-convergent sequence (y∗n)n∈N in Y∗ there exist a subsequence (y∗nk)k∈N and a w∗-convergent sequence (x∗k)k∈N in X∗ such that x∗k|Y=y∗nk for all k∈N. As an application, we obtain that Y is Grothendieck whenever X is Grothendieck and X/Y is reflexive, which answers a question raised by González and Kania.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.

Molecular phylogeny of the genera Palaemon and Palaemonetes (Decapoda, Caridea, Palaemonidae) from a European perspective

A molecular phylogenetic study by Murphy & Austin (2003) showed that Australian representatives of three shrimp genera of the family Palaemonidae (Palaemon, Palaemonetes, and Macrobrachium) do not cluster according to their generic classification. According to their results, the monophyly of these genera is questioned and the generic classification of the subfamily Palaemoninae is at stake. A large number of representatives of Palaemon and Palaemonetes inhabit European waters, including the type species of each genus. To clarify the phylogeny of these species, and thus the position of the generic names Palaemon and Palaemonetes on a phylogenetic tree, we obtained DNA sequences of the same genetic markers (16S mtDNA) as used by Murphy & Austin (2003) and re-addressed the question of taxonomy and phylogeny of these two genera within the subfamily Palaemoninae. Our results confirm the paraphyly of Palaemon and Palaemonetes. In contrast, the resulting monophyletic clades reflect the geographic distribution of the species according to their respective continents: Africa-Europe, Asia, Australia, and America. With the exception of Palaemon elegans the Afro-European species cluster in a way that would support monophyly of the two genera, if representatives from other continents are excluded. Possible taxonomic solutions are discussed.Research was partly funded by the postdoctoral grant from “Ministerio de Educación Cultura y Deporte” (Spain), and a Research contract “Ramón y Cajal” from “Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología” (Spain) to J.A.C.Peer Reviewe

Lattice embeddings in free Banach lattices over lattices

In this article we deal with the free Banach lattice generated by a lattice and its behavior with respect to subspaces. In general, any lattice embedding i:L⟶M between two lattices L⊆M induces a Banach lattice homomorphism ı^:FBL⟨L⟩⟶FBL⟨M⟩ between the corresponding free Banach lattices. We show that this mapping ı^ might not be an isometric embedding neither an isomorphic embedding. In order to provide sufficient conditions for ı^ to be an isometric embedding we define the notion of locally complemented lattices and prove that, if L is locally complemented in M, then ı^ yields an isometric lattice embedding from FBL⟨L⟩ into FBL⟨M⟩. We provide a wide number of examples of locally complemented sublattices and, as an application, we obtain that every free Banach lattice generated by a lattice is lattice isomorphic to an AM-space or, equivalently, to a sublattice of a C(K)-space. Furthermore, we prove that ı^ is an isomorphic embedding if and only if it is injective, which in turn is equivalent to the fact that every lattice homomorphism x∗:L⟶[−1,1] extends to a lattice homomorphism x^∗:M⟶[−1,1]. Using this characterization we provide an example of lattices L⊆M for which ı^ is an isomorphic not isometric embedding.Research partially supported by Fundación Séneca [20797/PI/18] and by project MTM2017-86182-P (Government of Spain, AEI/FEDER, EU).

Topological properties in tensor products of Banach spaces

Given two Banach spaces X and Y , we analyze when the projective tensor product X⊗πY has Corson’s property (C) or is weakly Lindelöf determined (WLD), subspace of a weakly compactly generated (WCG) space or subspace of a Hilbert generated space. For instance, we show that: (i) X⊗πY is WLD if and only if both X and Y are WLD and all operators from X to Y ∗ and from Y to X∗ have separable range; (ii) X ⊗πY is subspace of a WCG space if the same holds for both X and Y under the assumption that every operator from X to Y ∗ is compact; (iii) p(Γ)⊗πq(Γ) is subspace of a Hilbert generated space for any 1 < p,q < ∞ such that 1/p + 1/q < 1 and for any infinite set Γ. We also pay attention to the injective tensor product X⊗εY . In this case, the stability of property (C) and the property of being WLD turn out to be closely related to the condition that all regular Borel probability measures on the dual ball have countable Maharam type. Along this way, we generalize a result of Plebanek and Sobota that if K is a compact space such that C(K × K) has property (C), then all regular Borel probability measures on K have countable Maharam type. This generalization provides a consistent negative answer to a question of Ruess and Werner about the preservation of the w∗-angelicity of the dual unit ball under injective tensor products.The research is partially supported by grants MTM2017-86182-P (funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and “ERDF A way of making Europe”) and 20797/PI/18 (funded by Fundación Séneca - ACyT Región de Murcia).

New Perspectives Related to the Bioluminescent System in Dinoflagellates: Pyrocystis lunula, a Case Study

Pyrocystis lunula is considered a model organism due to its bioluminescence capacity linked to circadian rhythms. The mechanisms underlying the bioluminescent phenomenon have been well characterized in dinoflagellates; however, there are still some aspects that remain an enigma. Such is the case of the presence and diversity of the luciferin-binding protein (LBP), as well as the synthesis process of luciferin. Here we carry out a review of the literature in relation to the molecular players responsible for bioluminescence in dinoflagellates, with particular interest in P. lunula. We also carried out a phylogenetic analysis of the conservation of protein sequence, structure and evolutionary pattern of these key players. The basic structure of the luciferase (LCF) is quite conserved among the sequences reported to date for dinoflagellate species, but not in the case of the LBP, which has proven to be more variable in terms of sequence and structure. In the case of luciferin, its synthesis has been shown to be complex process with more than one metabolic pathway involved. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) and the P630 or blue compound, seem to be involved in this process. In the same way, various hypotheses regarding the role of bioluminescence in dinoflagellates are exposed
