Factorization theorems for some new classes of multilinear operators (Q2194550)

In this very interesting paper, the authors introduce and explore two new notions of absolutely summing multilinear operators, namely factorable \( \left( q,p\right) \)-summing operators and \(\left( r;p,q\right) \)-summing operators. Among other results, the authors prove two multilinear variants of a deep factorization theorem for operators on \(C(K)\) spaces, due to [\textit{G. Pisier}, Math. Ann. 276, 105--136 (1986; Zbl 0619.47016)], and a Grothendieck theorem for factorable \(\left( q,p\right) \)-summing operators, as well as variants of classical results of \textit{A. Pełczyński} [Banach spaces of analytic functions and absolutely summing operators. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). (1977; Zbl 0384.46015)] and \textit{S. V. Kislyakov} [in: Handbook of the geometry of Banach spaces. Volume 1. Amsterdam: Elsevier. 871--898 (2001; Zbl 1024.46002)]. The paper also helps the readers to obtain a comprehensive perspective of the subject, by comparing the new notions of summability to other related concepts, such as semi-integral operators, multiple summing operators, \(\tau (p)\)-summing operators, among others.
