Norms of polynomials and capacities on Banach spaces (Q1304749)

The article is devoted to the problem of analyzing, comparing, and estimating real and complex norms of homogeneous polynomials on complex Banach space. Let \(P\) defined on a complex Banach space \(X\) be a homogeneous polynomial of degree \(d\geq 1\) if there is a bounded, symmetric \(d\)-linear form \(A\) on \(X\) such that \(P(x)= A(x_1,\dots, x_n)\) and \(P= \sum^d_{i=0} P_i\), the \(P_i\) homogeneous polynomials of degree \(I\), \(\|P\|= \sup\{|P(x)|: x\in B_x\}\). The author's results are the following theorems: Theorem 2.1. Let \(X\) be a complex Banach space, let \(d\geq 1\), and let \(0\prec \varepsilon\prec\log 2/(ed)\). If \(S_\varepsilon\) is an \(\varepsilon\)-net of \(B_X\) then \(c_d(S_\varepsilon)\leq {1\over 2-e^{ed\varepsilon}}\). Theorem 2.3. Let \(X\) be a complex Banach space, let \(a\in X\), \(r\succ 0\). If \(d\geq 1\) then \(c_d(a+ rB_X)\leq \left({1+\|a\|\over r}\right)^d\) and the estimate is best possible.
