Lorentz Spaces Of Vector-Valued Measures

Given a non-atomic, finite and complete measure space (,,µ)and a Banach space X, the modulus of continuity for a vectormeasure F is defined as the function _F(t) = sup_µ(E)t |F|(E)and the space V^p,q(X) of vector measures such that t^–1/p'_F(t) L^q((0,µ()],dt/t) is introduced. It is shown thatV^p,q(X) contains isometrically L^p,q(X) and that L^p,q(X) = V^p,q(X)if and only if X has the Radon–Nikodym property. It isalso proved that V^p,q(X) coincides with the space of cone absolutelysumming operators from L^p',q^' into X and the duality V^p,q(X^*)=(Lp^',q^'(X))^*where 1/p+1/p^'= 1/q+1/q^' = 1. Finally, V^p,q(X) is identifiedwith the interpolation space obtained by the real method (V¹(X),V(X))_1/p^',q. Spaces where the variation of F is replaced bythe semivariation are also considered.
