Diagonal multilinear operators on Köthe sequence spaces

We analyse the interplay between maximal/minimal/adjoint ideals of multilinear operators (between sequence spaces) and their associated Köthe sequence spaces. We establish relationships with spaces of multipliers and apply these results to describe diagonal multilinear operators from Lorentz sequence spaces. We also define and study some properties of the ideal of (E, p)-summing multilinear mappings, a natural extension of the linear ideal of absolutely (E, p)-summing operators.     

Duality for Lipschitz p-summing operators

Building upon the ideas of R. Arens and J. Eells (1956) [1] we introduce the concept of spaces of Banach-space-valued molecules, whose duals can be naturally identified with spaces of operators between a metric space and a Banach space. On these spaces we define analogues of the tensor norms of Chevet (1969) [3] and Saphar (1970) [14], whose duals are spaces of Lipschitz p-summing operators. In particular, we identify the dual of the space of Lipschitz p-summing operators from a finite metric space to a Banach space — answering a question of J. Farmer and W.B. Johnson (2009) [6] — and use it to give a new characterization of the non-linear concept of Lipschitz p-summing operator between metric spaces in terms of linear operators between certain Banach spaces. More generally, we define analogues of the norms of J.T. Lapresté (1976) [11], whose duals are analogues of A. Pietsch?s (p,r,s)-summing operators (A. Pietsch, 1980 [12]). As a special case, we get a Lipschitz version of (q,p)-dominated operators.     

Multiple summing operators on Banach spaces

In this paper, we improve some previous results about multiple p-summing multilinear operators by showing that every multilinear form from spaces is multiple p-summing for 1?p?2. The proof is based on the existence of a predual for the Banach space of multiple p-summing multilinear forms. We also show the failure of the inclusion theorem in this class of operators and improve some results of Y. Meléndez and A. Tonge about dominated multilinear operators.     

Computingp-summing norms with few vectors

It is shown that thep-summing norm of any operator withn-dimensional domain can be well-aproximated using only “few” vectors in the definition of thep-summing norm. Except for constants independent ofn and logn factors, “few” meansn if 1<p<2 andn ^p/2 if 2<p<∞. Supported in part by NSF #DMS90-03550 and the U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation.

Domination spaces and factorization of linear and multilinear summing operators

It is well known that not every summability property for multilinear operators leads to a factorization theorem. In this paper we undertake a detailed study of factorization schemes for summing linear and nonlinear operators. Our aim is to integrate under the same theory a wide family of classes of mappings for which a Pietsch type factorization theorem holds. Our construction includes the cases of absolutely p-summing linear operators, (p, σ)-absolutely continuous linear operators, factorable strongly p-summing multilinear operators, (p1,?. . .?, pn)-dominated multilinear operators and dominated (p1,?. . .?, pn; σ)-continuous multilinear operators.     

Multilinear extensions of absolutely (p;q;r)-summing operators

In this paper we introduce and study a new class containing the class of absolutely summing multilinear mappings, which we call absolutely (p;q ₁,…,q _m ;r)-summing multilinear mappings. We investigate some interesting properties concerning the absolutely (p;q ₁,…,q _m ;r)-summing m-linear mappings defined on Banach spaces. In particular, we prove a kind of Pietsch’s Domination Theorem and a multilinear version of the Factorization Theorem.     

A Composition Theorem for Multiple Summing Operators

We prove that the composition S(u₁, …, u_n) of a multilinear multiple 2-summing operator S with 2-summing linear operators u_j is nuclear, generalizing a linear result of Grothendieck.     

Large subspaces ofl ∞ n and estimates of the gordon-lewis constantand estimates of the gordon-lewis constant

Lower bounds are obtained for thegl constants and hence also for the unconditional basis constants of subspaces of finite dimensional Banach spaces. Sharp results are obtained for subspaces ofl _∞ ⁿ , while in the general case thegl constants of “random large” subspaces are related to the distance of “random large” subspaces to Euclidean spaces. In addition, a new isometric characterization ofl _∞ ⁿ is given, some new information is obtained concerningp-absolutely summing operators, and it is proved that every Banach space of dimensionn contains a subspace whose projection constant is of ordern ^1/2. The research for this paper was begun while both authors were guests of the Mittag-Leffler Institute. Supported in part by NSF-MCS 79-03042.     

On the Lindenstrauss-Rosenthal theorem

We present a homological principle that governs the behaviour of couples of exact sequences of quasi-Banach spaces. Three applications are given: (i) A unifying method of proof for the results of Lindenstrauss, Rosenthal, Kalton, Peck and Kislyakov about the extension and lifting of isomorphisms inc ₀,ι _∞,ι _p andL _pfor 0<p≤1; (ii) A study of the Dunford-Pettis property in duals of quotients ofL _∞-spaces; and (iii) New results on the extension ofC(K)-valued operators. The research has been supported in part by DGICYT project BFM 2001-0813.     

The Estimates for Sharp Maximal Functions of Multilinear Strongly Singular Integral Operators

In this paper, the author obtains that the multilinear operators of strongly singular integral operators and their dual operators are bounded from some L^p（R^n） to L^p（R^n） when the m-th order derivatives of A belong to L^p（R^n） for r large enough. By this result, the author gets the estimates for the Sharp maximal functions of the multilinear operators with the m-th order derivatives of A being Lipschitz functions. It follows that the multilinear operators are （L^p, L^p）-type operators for 1 〈 p 〈 ∞.     

On convergence of sections of sequences in Banach spaces

An elementary proof of the (known) fact that each element of the Banach spaceℓ _w ^p (X) of weakly absolutelyp-summable sequences (if 1≤p<∞) in the Banach spaceX is the norm limit of its sections if and only if each element ofℓ _w ^p (X) is a norm null sequence inX, is given. Little modification to this proof leads to a similar result for a family of Orlicz sequence spaces. Some applications to spaces of compact operators on Banach sequence spaces are considered.     

The weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces hK q α,p (ω1,ω2)

Let 1<q<∞, n(1−1/q)≤α<∞, 0<p<∞ and ω₁,ω₂ ɛA ₁(R ⁿ ) (the Muckenhoupt class). In this paper, the author introduce the weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces hk _q ^α,p (gw₁,ω₂) and present their atomic decomposition. Using the atomic decomposition, the author find out their dual spaces, establish the boundedness on these spaces of the pseudo-differential operators of order zero and show thatD(R ⁿ ), the class of C^∞(Rⁿ)-functions with compactly support, is dense inhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂) and there is a subsequence, which converges in distrbutional sense to some distribution ofhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂), of any bounded sequence inhK _q ^α,p (ω₁,ω₂). In addition, the author also set up the boundedness of some non-linear quantities in compensated compactness. Supported by the NECF and the NECF and the NNSF of China.     

Multilinear variants of Maurey and Pietsch theorems and applications

A Composition Theorem for Multiple Summing Operators

We prove that the composition S(u₁, …, u_n) of a multilinear multiple 2-summing operator S with 2-summing linear operators u_j is nuclear, generalizing a linear result of Grothendieck. Both authors were partially supported by DGICYT grant BMF2001-1284.     

Some characterizations of weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces and their applications

In this paper, the authors first establish some new real-variable characterizations of Herz-type Hardy spaces and , where ω₁,ω₃ ∈ A₁-weight, 1<q>∞,n(1−1/q)≤α<∞ and 0<p<∞. Then, using these new characterizations, they investigate the convergence of a bounded set in these spaces, and study the boundedness of some potential operators on these spaces.

Extension of multilinear maps defined on subspaces

We study the problem of whether every multilinear form defined on the product of n closed subspaces has an extension defined on the product of the entire Banach spaces. We prove that the property derived from this condition (the Multilinear Extension Property) is local. We use this to prove that, for a wide variety of Banach spaces, there exist a product of closed subspaces and a multilinear form defined on it, which has no extension to the product of the entire spaces. We show that the ℓ _p spaces, with 1 ≤p ≤ ∞ and p ≠ 2, are among them and, more generally, every Banach space which fails to have type p for some p < 2 or cotype q for some q > 2.     

Integral Multilinear Forms on C(K, X) Spaces

We use polymeasures to characterize when a multilinear form defined on a product of C(K, X) spaces is integral.

We point out that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the space L ^p(t)(ℝ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ, then the well-known characterization of the spaces L ^p (ℝ), 1 < p < ∞, by the Littlewood–Paley theory extends to the space L ^p(t)(ℝ). We show that, for n > 1 , the Littlewood–Paley operator is bounded on L ^p(t) (ℝ ⁿ ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ ⁿ , if and only if p(t) = const.

Wavelet characterization of weighted spaces

We give a characterization of weighted Hardy spaces H ^p (w), valid for a rather large collection of wavelets, 0 <p ≤ 1,and weights w in the Muckenhoupt class A _∞ We improve the previously known results and adopt a systematic point of view based upon the theory of vector-valued Calderón-Zygmund operators. Some consequences of this characterization are also given, like the criterion for a wavelet to give an unconditional basis and a criterion for membership into the space from the size of the wavelet coefficients.
