The symmetric Radon-Nikodým property for tensor norms (Q615923)

From the introduction: The aim of this article is to find conditions under which the equality \(\mathcal{M}(E)=\mathcal{M}^{\min}(E)\) holds isometrically for a maximal polynomial ideal \(\mathcal{M}\). In terms of symmetric tensor products, we want conditions on an s-tensor norm ensuring the isometry \(\tilde{\bigotimes}_{\beta}^{n,s}E'=(\tilde{\bigotimes}_{\beta}^{n,s}E)'\). To this end, we introduce the symmetric Radon-Nikodým property for s-tensor norms and show our main result, a Lewis type theorem: If an s-tensor norm has the the symmetric Radon-Nikodým property, then the canonical mapping \(\tilde{\bigotimes}_{\backslash\beta/}^{n,s}E'\to(\tilde{\bigotimes}_{/\beta\backslash}^{n,s}E)'\) is a metric surjection for every Asplund space (here, \(\backslash\beta/\) and \(/\beta\backslash\) denote the projective and injective associates of \(\beta\)). As a consequence, if \(\mathcal{M}\) is the maximal ideal (of \(n\)-homogeneous polynomials) associated to a projective s-tensor norm \(\beta\) with the symmetric Radon-Nikodým property, then \(\mathcal{M}(E)=\mathcal{M}^{\min}(E)\) isometrically.
