Vector measure Maurey--Rosenthal-type factorizations and \(\ell\)-sums of \(L^1\)-spaces (Q1776894): Difference between revisions

The classical Maurey--Rosenthal theorem gives a characterization, in terms of an inequality, of those operators \(T:X \rightarrow L^1(\mu)\) (with \(X\) a Banach space) admitting a factorization through \(L^2(\mu)\) by means of a multiplication operator \(M_g: L^2(\mu) \rightarrow L^1(\mu)\) with \(g \in L^2(\mu)\). The authors of the present paper consider operators \(T: X \rightarrow L^1(m)\), where \(m\) is a vector measure of bounded variation with values in a Banach space. Before stating and proving a Maurey--Rosenthal type theorem within this new setting, they show that several natural extensions of the inequality occurring in the original result do not provide satisfactory factorization theorems, leading them eventually to a suitable one. Their main result is then applied to operators defined on a \(2\)-convex Banach lattice with values in an \(\ell\)-sum of \(L^1\)-spaces, where \(\ell\) is a weakly sequentially complete Banach sequence space equipped with a lattice norm.
