On summability of multilinear operators and applications (Q1757802)

In this work, the authors use the following general approach for absolutely summing multilinear operators: Let \(m \ge 1\), let \(E_1, \dots,E_m\) and \(F\) be Banach spaces and \(\Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{N}^m\); for \(r \in (0, \infty)\) and \(p \ge 1\), an \(m\)-linear operator \(T : E_1 \times \cdots \times E_m \rightarrow F\) is \(\Lambda\)-\((r, p)\)-summing if there exists a constant \(C > 0\) such that, for all sequences \(x(j) \subset E_j^\mathbb{N}\), \(1 \le j \le m\), \[ \left(\sum_{\mathbf{i} \in \Lambda} \|T(x_\mathbf{i})\|^r\right)^{1/r} \le C \|x(1)\|_{w,p} \cdots \|x(m)\|_{w,p}, \] where \(T(x_\mathbf{i}) = T(x_{i_1}(1),\dots, x_{i_m}(m))\). The cases of the \((r,p)\)-summing (\(\Lambda = \{(n, \dots,n): n \in \mathbb{N}\}\)) and multiple \((r,p)\)-summing (\(\Lambda = \mathbb{N}^m\)) multilinear operators are particular cases of the above definition and intermediary situations of sets \(\Lambda\) between these cases are also studied in the paper. More specifically, the authors use this approach and tensor product tools to unify and extend, in a single formulation, a family of inequalities concerning summability of multilinear operators, produced separately in different contexts and times. The Aron-Globevnik, Bohnenblust-Hille and Hardy-Littlewood inequalities are recovered examples. This interesting paper also presents new applications of its main result, for instance, in the analysis of contractivity of the constants in Bohnenblust-Hille and Hardy-Littlewood inequalities.
