Dominated bilinear forms and 2-homogeneous polynomials (Q963072)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space and \(n\) be a positive integer. A continuous mapping \(P: X\to {\mathbf K}\) is said to be an \(m\)-homogeneous polynomial if there is a continuous symmetric \(m\)-linear mapping \(A: X\times\ldots \times X\to {\mathbf K}\) such that \(P(x)=A(x,\ldots,x)\) for all \(x\in X\). An \(m\)-homogeneous polynomial \(P\) is said to be \(r\)-dominated if \((P(x_j))_{j=1}^\infty\) belongs to \(\ell_{r/m}\) whenever \((x_j)_{j=1}^\infty\) is weakly \(r\)-summable. In this paper, the authors show that if \(X\) has cotype \(q>2\), then for each \(r\) with \(1\leq r<q^*\), where \(q^*\) is the conjugate index of \(q\), there is a \(2\)-homogeneous polynomial what is not \(r\)-dominated. To obtain this result, they show that if \(X\) is a real infinite dimensional Banach space, \(m\) is an even positive integer and \(q<1\) with every \(m\)-homogeneous polynomials on \(X\) absolutely \((q,r)\)-summing, then the identity on \(X\) is absolutely \(({mq\over 1-q},r)\)-summing.
