Abstract: | The analytic Radon-Nikodým property for a complex Banach space X is characterized in several ways analogous to the common characterizations of the Radon-Nikodým property. For example, the Banach space X has the analytic Radon-Nikodým property if and only if any operator from L1 to X that factors through L1/H01 is representable. The characterizations are used to study complemented subspaces of L1/H01 and to define the analytic Radon-Nikodým property for real Banach spaces. |
