Abstract: In this paper we first show that if X is a Banach space and alpha is a left invariant crossnorm on ellinftyotimesX, then there is a Banach lattice L and an isometric embedding J of X into L, so that IotimesJ becomes an isometry of ellinftyotimesalphaX onto ellinftyotimesmJ(X). Here I denotes the identity operator on ellinfty and ellinftyotimesmJ(X) the canonical lattice tensor product. This result is originally due to G. Pisier (unpublished), but our proof is different. We then use this to characterize the Gordon-Lewis property GL in terms of embeddings into Banach lattices. Also other structures related to the GL are investigated.


Let \(Y\) be a Banach space and \(L\) a Banach lattice. An operator \(T:Y\to L\) is called order bounded if there exists an \(h\geq 0\) in \(L\) such that \(|Ty|\leq\|y\|\cdot h\) for all \(y\in Y\). Put \(\|T\|_m=\inf\|h\|\), where the infimum extends over all \(h\) as above. The collection \({\mathcal B}(Y,L)\) of all order bounded operators \(Y\to L\) is a Banach space with norm \(\|\cdot \|_m\). Given a subspace \(X\) of \(L\), let \(Y\otimes_mX\) be the closure of \(Y\otimes X\) in \({\mathcal B}(Y^*,L)\). A crossnorm \(\alpha\) on \(Y\otimes X\) is left tensorial if \(T\otimes \text{id}_X\) belongs to \({\mathcal L}(Y\otimes_\alpha X)\) with \(\|T\otimes \text{id}_X\|\leq\|u\|\) for every \(T\in{\mathcal L}(Y)\). Here \(Y\otimes_\alpha X\) denotes the completion of \(Y\otimes X\) under \(\alpha\). The norm \(\|\cdot \|_m\), for example, is left tensorial. The basic result (attributed to G. Pisier) is the following: If \(X\) is any Banach space and \(\alpha\) a left tensorial norm on \(\ell_\infty \otimes X\), then there are a Banach lattice and an isometric embedding \(J:X\to L\) such that \(\|\bigvee_{k=1}^n|Jy_k|\|= \alpha(\sum_{k=1}^ne_k\otimes x_k)\) for every finite set \(\{x_1,\dots, x_n\}{\i}X\), \(\text{id}_{\ell_\infty}\otimes J\) defines an isometry of \(\ell_\infty\otimes_\alpha X\) onto \(\ell_\infty\otimes_m j(X)\). There are several applications. Here is a sample: Every Banach space \(X\) embeds isometrically into a Banach lattice \(L\) such that, for every Banach space \(Y\), \(Y\otimes_m X\) consists precisely of all operators \(T:Y^*\to X\) such that \(T^*\) is in the closure of \(X\otimes Y\) in the \(1\)-summing norm. This lattice also has the property that every \(L_1\)-factorable operator \(T:X\to Y\), \(Y\) any Banach space, admits an extension \(L\to Y\) which has the same \(L_1\)-factorable norm as \(\|T\|\). \(X\) has the (Gordon-Lewis) property GL if every \(1\)-summing operator with domain \(X\) is \(L_1\)-factorable. \(X\) has the \(\text{GL}_2\) property if the same is true for \(\ell_2\)-valued operators. It is shown that \(X\) has the GL property iff there is a Banach lattice \(L\) which contains \(X\) as a subspace such that every \(1\)-summing operator \(X\to\ell_2\) admits a \(1\)-summing extension \(L\to\ell_2\). Similarly, \(X\) has the GL property if it occurs as a subspace of a Banach lattice \(L\) such that, regardless of the Banach space \(Y\), every 1-summing operator \(T:X\to Y\) is the restriction of some cone-summing operator \(\widetilde T:L\to Y\) (i.e., the adjoint of \(\widetilde T\) is order bounded).
