Uniqueness of Hahn-Banach extension












3












$begingroup$


Let $M={(x,y,z,0,0,...): x,y,z, in mathbb{K}}$ be a subspace of $(l_p(mathbb{N}),||cdot||_p)$ I already proved that $f:Mrightarrow mathbb{K}$ where $f(x,y,z,0,...)=x-y-z$ is bounded with $||f||=3^{frac{p-1}{p}}$ for $1 leq p < infty$. I already proved that for $p=1$ there are infinitely many extensions of $f$ and that for $p=2$ there is only one since $l_2(mathbb{N})$ is an Hilbert space. But I should prove that for $1 < p <infty$ there is a unique extension. My attempt:

Suppose there are two such extensions $F,G$ such that $||F||=||G||=3^frac{p-1}{p}$. I would like to find a contradiction by taking an $x$ outside $M$ such that $F neq G$ and I have $||(F-G)x|| leq 2||f||||x||_p$but then I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

          Write $l_p(mathbb N) = l_p({1,2,3}) oplus l_p({4,5,ldots}) = M oplus N$ where
          $$|x + y|^p = |x|^p + |y|^p, x in M,; y in N$$
          Correspondingly we can write the dual $(Moplus N)^* = M^* oplus N^*$
          with $$|f + g|^q = |f|^q + |g|^q, f in M^*,; y in N^* $$
          where $1/p + 1/q = 1$. Thus any extension $f + g$ of $f in M^*$ that has the same norm must have $g = 0$.

            Very neat argument! I would like to add that this argument fails if $p=1$ because then $q=infty$ and thus $|f+g|^q=max{|x|^q,|y|^q}$. The argument fails if $p=infty$ because then the dual would not be $ell^1$, but something much larger.
