Ideals of integral and \(r\)-factorable polynomials (Q1959057): Difference between revisions

A \(\lambda\)-normed (resp.\ Banach) ideal of polynomials, \({\mathcal Q}\), is an assignment to each positive integer \(n\) and each pair of Banach spaces \(E\) and \(F\) of a \(\lambda\)-normed (resp.\ Banach) subspace \({\mathcal Q}(^nE,F)\) of \({\mathcal P}(^nE,F)\), the space of all \(n\)-homogeneous polynomials from \(E\) into \(F\), which contains all finite-type polynomials and is closed under composition on the right and left with linear operators. The authors prove that a \(\lambda\)-normed ideal is maximal (determined by composition with finite-dimensional and finite-codimensional projections) if and only if it is ultrastable (stable under the formation of ultraproducts) and regular (\(P\in {\mathcal P}(^nE,F)\) belongs to \({\mathcal Q}\) whenever \(k_F\circ P\) belongs to \({\mathcal Q}\)). They show that the ideal of nuclear polynomials is the smallest Banach ideal of polynomials and that the ideal of integral polynomials is the smallest maximal normed ideal of polynomials. An \(n\)-homogeneous polynomial \(P: E\to F\) is said to be left (resp.\ right) \(r\)-factorable if \(k_F\circ P\) factors through an \(L_r(\mu)\) space as \(T\circ Q\) (resp.\ \(Q\circ T\)) with \(T\) a continuous linear operator and \(Q\) an \(n\)-homogeneous polynomial. It is shown that the ideals of left and right \(r\)-factorable \(n\)-homogeneous polynomials are maximal. However, for \(1\leq r<n\) the ideal of right \(r\)-factorable \(n\)-homogeneous polynomials is \(r/m\)-normed but not normed.
