Integration of vector-valued functions with respect to vector measures defined on \(\delta \)-rings (Q351756): Difference between revisions

This is a good paper that is immersed in the general theory of integration with respect to a vector measure. In the paper, the authors develop the (tensorial) setting for the integration of vector-valued functions with respect to vector measures defined on \(\delta\)-rings. They prove a tensorial version of the dominated convergence theorem. This field has experienced a big impulse in the last decades inside the general area of functional analysis. Recovering the seminal work of I. Kluvánek, J. Diestel, D. R. Lewis or I. Dobrakov, several authors have contributed to the development of the subject in several aspects. Especially remarkable in the last years is the book by \textit{S. Okada} et al. [Optimal domain and integral extension of operators acting in function spaces. Basel: Birkhäuser (2008; Zbl 1145.47027)] that can be considered as a reference book for the use of vector measures as an important tool in operator theory. I also want to mention the thesis ``Representation theorems of abstract Banach lattices: the role of vector measures on a \(\delta\)-ring'' by \textit{M. A. Juan}, a very relevant contribution in the \(\delta\)-ring setting. But one should also mention other people who have deeply studied the properties and structure of spaces of integrable functions with respect to vector measures, as is the case of B. Jefferies, G. P. Curbera, O. Delgado, A. Fernández, E. Giménez Fernández, F. Mayoral, S. Okada, J. Rodriguez,\dots In relation with the scope of this article, tensor integrability, I want to point out that such a kind of extensions are not simple contributions for the general purpose of generalizing the theory. It corresponds to the more interesting fact of considering integration with respect to vector measures the correct and natural setting for other areas, more precisely, for operator theory in quantum mechanics, quantum scattering theory or quantum information. In this context, the case of the Kluvánek school is remarkable, headed now by B. Jefferies and S. Okada. Step by step, the researchers working in this area are approaching the setting that I think can be the most fruitful (and of course, the most difficult) in the applications of integration with respect to vector measures, that is, the integration of operator-valued functions (unbounded operators) with respect to vector measures on \(\delta\)-rings. This paper is one step more towards this general purpose.
