On the Structure of L 1 of a Vector Measure via its Integration Operator

Geometric and summability properties of the integration operator associated to a vector measure m can be translated in terms of structure properties of the space L¹(m). In this paper we study the cases of the integration operator being: (i) p-concave on L^p(m), or (ii) positive p-summing on L¹(m) (where ). We prove that (i) is equivalent to saying that L¹(m) contains continuously the L^p space of a (non-negative scalar) control measure for m. On the other hand, we show that (ii) holds if and only if L¹(m) is order isomorphic to the L¹ space of a non-negative scalar measure. J.M.
