\(\tau (p;q)\)-summing mappings and the domination theorem (Q931846)

The author introduces and investigates the concept of \(\tau(p;q)\)-summing multilinear mappings and homogeneous polynomials on Banach spaces, extending the original (linear) related concept due to Pietsch. The class of \(\tau (p;q)\)-summing multilinear mappings is compared with the classes of dominated and semi-integral multilinear mappings. For example, it is shown that every \(\tau(p;p)\)-summing multilinear mapping is \(p\)-semi-integral; it is also shown that a multilinear mapping \(S:E_{1}\times\cdots\times E_{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{K}\) is \(\tau(p;p)\)-summing if, and only if, \(S\) is \(p\)-dominated (\(\mathbb{K}\) denotes the scalar field). The main results of the paper are versions of the Pietsch domination theorem for \(\tau(p;p)\)-summing multilinear mappings and homogeneous polynomials.
