Optimal Hardy-Littlewood type inequalities for polynomials and multilinear operators (Q273088)

\textit{J. E. Littlewood} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. Ser. 1, 164--174 (1930; JFM 56.0335.01)] introduced an inequality for bounded bilinear forms on \(c_0 \times c_0\), which was generalized and improved by \textit{H. F. Bohnenblust} and \textit{E. Hille} [Ann. Math. (2) 32, 600--622 (1931; Zbl 0001.26901)] for continuous multilinear forms on \(c_0 \times c_0 \times \cdots \times c_0\), by \textit{G. H. Hardy} and \textit{J. E. Littlewood} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. Ser. 5, 241--254 (1934; JFM 60.0335.01)] for continuous multilinear forms on \(l_{p_1} \times l_{p_2} \times \cdots \times l_{p_m}\), by \textit{A. Defant} and \textit{P. Sevilla-Peris} [J. Funct. Anal. 256, No. 5, 1642--1664 (2009; Zbl 1171.46034)] for \(l_s\)-valued continuous multilinear mappings on \(c_0 \times c_0 \times \cdots \times c_0\) and by \textit{N. Albuquerque} et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 266, No. 6, 3726--3740 (2014; Zbl 1319.46035)] and \textit{V. Dimant} and \textit{P. Sevilla-Peris} [``Summation of coefficients of polynomials on \(l_p\)-spaces'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1309.6063}] for \(l_s\)-valued continuous multilinear mappings on \(l_{p_1} \times l_{p_2} \times \cdots \times l_{p_m}\). The authors study in depth the remaining cases of the Defant and Sevilla-Peris result [loc. cit.] and give a simpler proof of the sufficient part of the Defant and Sevilla-Peris theorem to prove a more general result. Moreover, the authors prove similar results for multilinear mappings with arbitrary codomains which assume their cotypes and obtain better estimates for the constants of vector-valued Bohnenblust-Hille inequalities [loc. cit.]. The techniques and the ideas are simple and elementary and the paper is systematically well-organized.
