Generalized Lions--Peetre methods of constants and means and operator ideals (Q2642840)

The authors establish results on interpolation of Rosenthal operators, Banach--Saks operators, Asplund operators, and weakly compact operators. Their statements are always of the following type. Let \((P)\) be one of the above properties for operators, \(E_0\) and \(E_1\) be Banach lattices on \(\mathbb{Z}\) satisfying a property closely related to (P), \(\overline{A}=(A_0,A_1)\), \(\overline{B}=(B_0,B_1)\) be Banach couples, and let \(T\in\mathcal{L}(\overline{A},\overline{B})\) be such that \(T:A_0\cap A_1\to B_0+B_1\) has property \((P)\). Then the following statements hold: (i) If \(\varphi_{\mathcal{K}_{E_0,E_1}}\in\mathcal{P}_0\), then the operator \(T:\mathcal{K}_{E_0,E_1}(A_0,A_1)\to\mathcal{K}_{E_0,E_1}(B_0,B_1)\) has property \((P)\). (ii) If \(\varphi_{\mathcal{J}_{E_0,E_1}}^* \in\mathcal{P}_0\), then the operator \(T:\mathcal{J}_{E_0,E_1}(A_0,A_1)\to\mathcal{J}_{E_0,E_1}(B_0,B_1)\) has property \((P)\). Here, \(\mathcal{K}_{E_0,E_1}\) and \(\mathcal{J}_{E_0,E_1}\) denote the methods of constants and means associated to \(E_0\) and \(E_1\), respectively, and \(\varphi_{\mathcal{F}}\) the fundamental function of an exact interpolation functor \(\mathcal{F}\). Furthermore, for a quasi-concave function \(\varphi\), the quasi-concave function \(\varphi^*\) is defined by \(\varphi^*(t):=1/\varphi(1/t)\), and \(\mathcal{P}_0\) stands for the set of all quasi-concave functions \(\varphi\) such that \(\varphi(t)\to 0\) as \(t\to 0\) and \(\varphi(t)/t\to 0\) as \(t\to \infty\). Finally, applications are presented for \(\mathcal{K}\)-method spaces generated by Calderón--Lozanovskij space parameters.
