Splittings of extensions and homological bidimension of the algebra of bounded operators on a Banach space
[Scissions d'extensions et bidimension homologique de l'algèbre d'opérateurs bornés sur un espace de Banach]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 354 (2016) no. 5, pp. 459-463.

Nous démontrons qu'il existe un espace de Banach tel que :

  • • l'algèbre de Banach B(E) des opérateurs linéaires bornés sur E a une extension singulière, qui scinde algébriquement, mais qui ne scinde pas fortement ;
  • • la bidimension homologique de B(E) est au moins deux.
La première de ces conclusions complète les résultats de Bade, Dales et Lykova (1999) [1], tandis que la seconde répond à une question de Helemskii. L'espace de Banach E a été introduit initialement par Read (1989) [9].

We show that there exists a Banach space E such that:

  • • the Banach algebra B(E) of bounded, linear operators on E has a singular extension that splits algebraically, but it does not split strongly;
  • • the homological bidimension of B(E) is at least two.
The first of these conclusions solves a natural problem left open by Bade, Dales, and Lykova (1999) [1], while the second answers a question of Helemskii. The Banach space E that we use was originally introduced by Read (1989) [9].
