Abstract:
We study the -homogeneous polynomials on a Banach space that can be extended to any space containing . We show that there is an upper bound on the norm of the extension. We construct a predual for the space of all extendible -homogeneous polynomials on and we characterize the extendible 2-homogeneous polynomials on when is a Hilbert space, an -space or an -space.
