On Disjointly singular centralizers

Abstract

We study ``disjoint" versions of the notions of trivial, locally trivial, strictly singular and super-strictly singular quasi-linear maps in the context of K\"othe function spaces. Among other results, we show: i) (locally) trivial and (locally) disjointly trivial notions coincide on reflexive spaces; ii) On non-atomic superreflexive K\"othe spaces, no centralizer is singular, although most are disjointly singular. iii) No super singular quasi-linear maps exist between superreflexive spaces although Kalton-Peck centralizers are super disjointly singular; iv) Disjoint singularity does not imply super disjoint singularity.
