Lipschitz tensor product

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Inspired by ideas of R. Schatten in his celebrated monograph on a theory of cross-spaces, we introduce the notion of a Lipschitz tensor product X�oxtimes E of a pointed metric space and a Banach space E as a certain linear subspace of the algebraic dual of Lipo(X,E^*). We prove that <Lipo(X,E^*),X�oxtimes E> forms a dual pair. We prove that X�oxtimes E is linearly isomorphic to the linear space of all finite-rank continuous linear operators from (X^#,T) into E, where X^# denotes the space Lipo(X,K) and T is the topology of pointwise convergence of X^#. The concept of Lipschitz tensor product of elements of X^# and E^* yields the space X^#�oxast E^* as a certain linear subspace of the algebraic dual of X�oxtimes E. To ensure the good behavior of a norm on X�oxtimes E with respect to the Lipschitz tensor product of Lipschitz functionals (mappings) and bounded linear functionals (operators), the concept of dualizable (respectively, uniform) Lipschitz cross-norm on X�oxtimes E is defined. We show that the Lipschitz injective norm epsilon, the Lipschitz projective norm pi and the Lipschitz p-nuclear norm d_p (1<=p<=infty) are uniform dualizable Lipschitz cross-norms on X�oxtimes E. In fact, epsilon is the least dualizable Lipschitz cross-norm and pi is the greatest Lipschitz cross-norm on X�oxtimes E. Moreover, dualizable Lipschitz cross-norms alpha on X�oxtimes E are characterized by satisfying the relation epsilon<=alpha<=pi. In addition, the Lipschitz injective (projective) norm on X�oxtimes E can be identified with the injective (respectively, projective) tensor norm on the Banach-space tensor product between the Lipschitz-free space over X and E. In terms of the space X^#�oxast E^*, we describe the spaces of Lipschitz compact (finite-rank, approximable) operators from X to E^$.


Following the lead of \textit{R. Schatten} [A theory of cross-spaces. Princeton, N. J.: Princeton University Press (1950; Zbl 0041.43502)], the authors introduce the ``Lipschitz tensor product of a pointed metric space \(X\) and a Banach space \(E\). For every \(x \in X\) and \(e \in E\), the Lipschitz tensor product \(\delta_{(x,0)} \boxtimes e\) is defined by \((\delta_{(x,0)} \boxtimes e)(f) = \langle f(x), e \rangle\) for \(f \in \mathrm{Lip}_0(X,E^*)\). The Lipschitz tensor product \(X \boxtimes E\) is the linear span of all such simple tensors in the algebraic dual of \(\mathrm{Lip}_0(X,E^*)\).NEWLINENEWLINEA norm \(\alpha\) on \(X \boxtimes E\) is a Lipschitz cross-norm if \(\alpha(\delta_{(x,y)} \boxtimes e) = d(x,y)\|e\|\). To ensure the good behavior of a norm on \(X \boxtimes E\) with respect to the Lipschitz tensor product of Lipschitz functionals (mappings) and bounded linear functionals (operators), the concept of dualizable (respectively, uniform) Lipschitz cross-norm on \(X \boxtimes E\) is defined.NEWLINENEWLINEThere is a least dualizable Lipschitz cross-norm \(\varepsilon\) and a greatest Lipschitz cross-norm \(\pi\) on \(X \boxtimes E\). Both \(\varepsilon\) and \(\pi\) are uniform. Dualizable Lipschitz cross-norms \(\alpha\) on \(X \boxtimes E\) are characterized by satisfying the relation \(\varepsilon \leq \alpha \leq \pi\). The norm \(\varepsilon\) is called injective and it is shown that it respects injections (Theorem~5.6), and \(\pi\) is called projective since it is shown to respect projections (Proposition~6.12).NEWLINENEWLINEIn addition, the Lipschitz injective (projective) norm on \(X \boxtimes E\) can be identified with the injective (respectively, projective) tensor norm on the Banach-space tensor product of the Lipschitz-free space over \(X\) and \(E\), but this identification does not hold for the Lipschitz \(2\)-nuclear norm and the corresponding Banach-space tensor norm.NEWLINENEWLINEThe spaces of Lipschitz compact (finite-rank, approximable) operators from \(X\) to \(E^*\) are also described in terms of Lipschitz tensor products.
