Operator martingale decompositions and the Radon-Nikodým property in Banach spaces (Q1046490)

For a Banach lattice \(E\) and a BL-filtration \((T_i)\) on \(E\), write \({\mathcal B}(E,T_i)\) for the set of submartingales \((s_i,T_i)\) on \(E\) such that \(\sup_i\|s_i^+\|<\infty\) and \(\sup\|m_i^-\|<\infty\), where \(s_i=m_i+U_i\) is the unique Doob decomposition of \((s_i,T_i)\) into a martingale \((m_i,T_i)\) and an increasing sequence \(U_i\), \(U_i\geq 0\). Let \[ {\mathcal B}_{\text{nc}}(E,T_i)=\{(s_i,T_i)\in {\mathcal B}(E,T_i): (s_i): \text{converges in norm in } E\}. \] Finally, denote by \(\widetilde{\otimes}_l\) the Chaney-Schaefer \(l\)-tensor product. The main result in Section 3 is that a Banach lattice \(F\) has the RNP if and only if \[ {\mathcal B}(E\widetilde{\otimes}_l F,T_i \widetilde{\otimes}_l \text{id}_F)={\mathcal B}_{\text{nc}}(E\widetilde{\otimes}_l F,T_i \widetilde{\otimes}_l \text{id}_F) \] for all separable reflexive Banach lattices \(E\) and all complemented, quasi-interior preserving BL-filtrations \((T_i)\) on \(E\). In Section 4, an operator version of Doob's stopping theorem is proved. This is used to prove Riesz decomposition of uniform amarts of maps in Section 5 and then to give a description of the RNP of Banach spaces \(Y\) in terms of uniform amarts. More precisely, let \[ {\mathcal U}(Y,T_i)= \Big\{(f_i,T_i):\text{is a uniform amart in Y with}:\sup_i\|f_i\|<\infty\Big\} \] and let the subscript \(_{\text{nc}}\) mean that \((f_i)\) is norm-convergent. Now, \(Y\) has the RNP if and only if \({\mathcal U}(E\widetilde{\otimes}_l Y,T_i \widetilde{\otimes} \text{id}_Y)={\mathcal U}_{\text{nc}}(E\widetilde{\otimes}_l Y,T_i \widetilde{\otimes}_l \text{id}_Y)\) for all separable reflexive Banach lattices \(E\) and all complemented, quasi-interior preserving BL-filtrations \((T_i)\) on \(E\).
