Abstract: A continuous quadratic form ("quadratic form", in short) on a Banach space $X$ is: (a) delta-semidefinite (i.e., representable as a difference of two nonnegative quadratic forms) if and only if the corresponding symmetric linear operator $TcolonXo{X}^{\ast }$ factors through a Hilbert space; (b) delta-convex (i.e., representable as a difference of two continuous convex functions) if and only if $T$ is a UMD-operator. It follows, for instance, that each quadratic form on an infinite-dimensional $L_p(mu)$ space ($1lepleinfty$) is: (a) delta-semidefinite iff $pge2$; (b) delta-convex iff $p>1$. Some other related results concerning delta-convexity are proved and some open problems are stated.
