Abstract:
We study the possibility of obtaining the -norm by an interpolation method starting from a couple of Banach lattice norms. We describe all couples of Banach lattice norms in such that the -norm is a strict interpolation norm between them. Further we consider the possibility of obtaining the -norm by any method which guarantees interpolation of not only linear operators (= bilinear forms on but also of all polylinear forms. Here we show that either one of the initial norms has to be proportional to the -norm, or both have to be weighted -norms.
