Norm One Projections on Banach Spaces


A K Gaur

Abstract

This note deals with a small but an important observation
of hermitian operators on Banach spaces. It is known that if A is a complex
Banach space, B(A) is the set of all operators on A, and H(B(A)) is the set
of all hermitian operators then B(A) = H(B(A)) + iH(B(A)) implies that A is
a Hilbert space. We give a converse of this using norm one projections on A.
