Polynomial Grothendieck properties

Publication date 4 September 1995

Abstract: A Banach space

E

has the Grothendieck property if every (linear bounded) operator from

E

into

c_{0}

is weakly compact. It is proved that, for an integer

k > 1

, every

k

-homogeneous polynomial from

E

into

c_{0}

is weakly compact if and only if the space

c a l P (^{k} E)

of scalar valued polynomials on

E

is reflexive. This is equivalent to the symmetric

k

-fold projective tensor product of

E

(i.e., the predual of

c a l P (^{k} E)

) having the Grothendieck property. The Grothendieck property of the projective tensor product

is also characterized. Moreover, the Grothendieck property of

E

is described in terms of sequences of polynomials. Finally, it is shown that if every operator from

E

into

c_{0}

is completely continuous, then so is every polynomial between these spaces.
