Lipschitz \(p\)-integral operators and Lipschitz \(p\)-nuclear operators (Q435113)

Recall that for linear operators, the notion of \(p\)-nuclearity can be described either using factorization, i.e., a bounded linear map \(u:X\to Y\) is \(p\)-nuclear if there exist two bounded operators \(a:\ell_p\to Y \) and \(b: X\to \ell^\infty\) and a sequence in \(\lambda\in \ell^p\) such that \(u=aM_\lambda b\), where \(M_\lambda\) is the multiplication operator, or equivalently, \(u\) can be written as \(u=\sum_n x_n^*\otimes y_n\) for some \(x_n\in X^*\) and \(y_n\in Y\) such that \[ \left(\sum_n \|x_n^*\|^p\right)^{1/p}\sup_{\|y^*\|=1}\left(\sum_n |\langle y_n,y^*\rangle |^{p'}\right)^{1/p'}<\infty. \] The authors, following the previous work by \textit{J. D. Farmer} and \textit{W. B. Johnson} where the notions of Lipschitz \(p\)-summing and \(p\)-integral were considered [``Lipschitz \(p\)-summing operators'', Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 137, No. 9, 2989--2995 (2009; Zbl 1183.46020)], introduce the notion of Lipschitz (and strongly Lipschitz) \(p\)-nuclear operators and Lipschitz (and strongly Lipschitz) \(p\)-dominated operators, replacing linear operators \(a\) and \(b\) by Lipschitz maps and elements \(x_n^*\) in the dual by functions \(f_n\in M^\#\), where \(M^\#\) is the space of real-valued Lipschitz functions with its natural (semi)norm. It is shown that, in the case of separable Banach spaces \(X\) and dual spaces \(Y\), the notions of \(p\)-nuclear and Lipschitz \(p\)-nuclear coincide and obtain a certain factorization result for strongly Lipschitz \(p\)-nuclear maps. They also consider the notion of Lipschitz \(p\)-dominated and strongly Lipschitz \(p\)-dominated, showing that Lipschitz \(2\)-dominated operators and Lipschitz \(2\)-integral operators coincide. Also, considerations about the coincidence of these classes in the case that \(X\) is a finite metric space are provided.
