On the norm of products of polynomials on ultraproducts of Banach spaces (Q2343216)

Let \(k_1,\dots,k_n\) be (fixed) integer numbers. Given a real or complex Banach space \(X\), we denote by \(D(X)\) the infimum of the constants \(M\) such that, for any choice of continuous scalar polynomials \(P_i\) of degree \(k_i\) on \(X\) (\(i=1,\dots,n\)), the inequality \[ M\| P_1\cdots P_n\|\geq \| P_1\|\cdots\| P_n\| \] holds. Moreover, we denote by \(C(X)\) the constant defined in the same way but assuming additionally that the polynomials \(P_i\) are homogeneous. The author shows that \(C(X^{**})\geq C(X)\) and \(D(X^{**})\geq D(X)\), and that equality holds (in both cases for complex spaces and in the first case also for real spaces) when \(X\) has the metric approximation property. Moreover, for an ultraproduct of complex Banach spaces \((X_i)_\mathcal{U}\), he shows that \(C\big((X_i)_\mathcal{U}\big)\geq \lim_{i,\mathcal{U}}C(X_i)\), \(D\big((X_i)_\mathcal{U}\big)\geq \lim_{i,\mathcal{U}}D(X_i)\), and that equality holds in both cases when each \(X_i\) has the \(1+\)-uniform approximation property. For ultraproducts of real spaces he proves the result for \(C(\cdot)\).
