Abstract

The goal of this note is two-fold. First we present a brief overview of "weak" embeddings, with a special emphasis on sign embeddings which were introduced by H. P. Rosenthal in the early 1980s. We also discuss the related notion of narrow operators, which was introduced by A. Plichko and M. Popov in 1990. We give examples of applications of these notions in the geometry of Banach spaces and in other areas of analysis. We also present some open problems. In the second part we prove that Rosenthal's celebrated characterization of narrow operators on L₁ is also true for operators on L₂. This answers, for p=2, a question posed by Plichko and Popov in 1990. For 1
