Set-functions and factorization (Q689660)

If \(\varphi\) is a submeasure satisfying an appropriate lower estimate we give a quantitative result on the total mass of a measure \(\mu\) satisfying \(0\leq\mu\leq\varphi\). We give a dual result for supermeasures and the use these results to investigate convexity on non-locally convex quasi-Banach lattices. We then show how to use these results to extend some factorization theorems due to Pisier to the setting of quasi-Banach spaces. We conclude by showing that if \(X\) is a quasi-Banach space of cotype two then any operator \(T: C(\Omega)\to X\) is 2-absolutely summing and factors through a Hilbert space and discussing general factorization theorems for cotype two spaces.
