Applications of semi-embeddings to the study of the projective tensor product of Banach spaces (Q2441065)

This paper shows that some well-known properties in Banach spaces, like the analytic Radon-Nikodým property, or the property of non-containing \(c_0\) isomorphically, are inherited by the projective tensor product whenever one of the factors is a Banach lattice and both factors satisfy one of the above properties. The author strongly uses the theory of semi-embeddings to get these results, which passes the Radon-Nikodým property from a Banach space to a semi-embedding subspace and, in a similar say, also characterizes the properties used by the author. The main motivation of the paper is the fact that many of the considered properties have been proved to be not inherited by the projective tensor product of general Banach spaces (see, e.g., [\textit{J. Bourgain} and \textit{G. Pisier}, Bol. Soc. Bras. Mat. 14, No. 2, 109--123 (1983; Zbl 0586.46011)]). Results along the same lines as proved by the author for the Radon-Nikodým property were given by \textit{J. Diestel} et al. [RACSAM, Rev. R. Acad. Cienc. Exactas Fís. Nat., Ser. A Mat. 100, No. 1--2, 75--100 (2006; Zbl 1118.46030), addendum ibid. 103, No. 1, 91 (2009; \url{doi:10.1007/BF03191836})].
