Linear structures in the set of non-norm-attaining operators on Banach Spaces

Abstract

We push further the study of lineability properties related to sets from normattaining theory. As a matter of fact, we provide several results in the context of lineability, spaceability, maximal-spaceability, and (α, β)-spaceability for sets of non-norm-attaining bounded linear operators whenever such sets are non-empty. Our results concerning the cardinality of the linear subspaces are presented in a more general framework, where classical spaces of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces and their subsets are considered as special cases. This leads to new results and generalizes several ones from the literature.
