Nuclear operators on spaces of continuous vector-valued functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let Omega be a compact Hausdorff space, let E be a Banach space, and let C(Omega,E) stand for the Banach space of all E-valued continuous functions on Omega under supnorm. In this paper we study when nuclear operators on C(Omega,E) spaces can be completely characterized in terms of properties of their representing vector measures. We also show that if F is a Banach space and if T:C(Omega,E)ightarrowF is a nuclear operator, then T induces a bounded linear operator from the space C(Omega) of scalar valued continuous functions on Omega into slN(E,F) the space of nuclear operators from E to F, in this case we show that E∗ has the Radon-Nikodym property if and only if is nuclear whenever T is nuclear.


If \(\Omega\) is a compact Hausdorff space and \(E\), \(F\) are Banach spaces, then for every \(T: C(\Omega, E)\to F\) there is a finitely additive vector measure \(G\) on \(\Omega\), taking the Borel subsets of \(\Omega\) into \({\mathcal L}(E, F^{**})\). In this paper there are studied connections between nuclear operators \({\mathcal N}(C(\Omega, E), F)\) and properties of the corresponding vector measures. It was shown [\textit{R. Bilyeu} and \textit{P. Lewis}, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl., IV. Ser. 109, 273-287 (1976; Zbl 0336.46048)] that \(T\) nuclear implies that the range of \(G\) is a subset of \({\mathcal N}(E, F)\). In this paper it is shown that \(T\) nuclear implies that the corresponding \(G\) is countably additive and of bounded variation, further, that the Radon-Nikodým property is necessary for \(F\), provided \(G\) enjoys the mentioned properties. The authors also study relationship between \(T\) and \(T^ \#(f)(e)= T(f\otimes e)\) and, as a final result, they give a characterization of the Radon-Nikodým property of \(E^*\), namely, that this is the case iff the following holds: For all compact \(\Omega\) an operator \(T\) is nuclear iff \(T^ \#: C(\Omega)\to {\mathcal N}(E, F)\) is nuclear.
