Let A be a C*-algebra. We prove that every absolutely summing operator from A into ${\ell }_2$ factors through a Hilbert space operator that belongs to the 4-Schatten-von Neumann class. We also provide finite-dimensional examples that show that one cannot replace the 4-Schatten-von Neumann class by the p-Schatten-von Neumann class for any p < 4. As an application, we show that there exists a modulus of capacity ε → N(ε) so that if A is a C*-algebra and $T\in {\Pi }_1(A,{\ell }_2)$ with ${\pi }_1\left(T\right)\le 1$, then for every ε >0, the ε-capacity of...

In the beginning of the twentieth century, Plemelj introduced the notion of factorization of matrix functions. The matrix factorization finds applications in many fields such as in the diffraction theory, in the theory of differential equations and in the theory of singular integral operators. However, the explicit formulas for the factors of the factorization are known only in a few classes of matrices. In the present paper we consider a new approach to obtain the factorization of a rational matrix...

Using a factorization lemma we obtain improvements and simplifications of results on representation of generalized Toeplitz and Hankel operators as compression of symbols.

The main result is that the existence of an unbounded continuous linear operator T between Köthe spaces λ(A) and λ(C) which factors through a third Köthe space λ(B) causes the existence of an unbounded continuous quasidiagonal operator from λ(A) into λ(C) factoring through λ(B) as a product of two continuous quasidiagonal operators. This fact is a factorized analogue of the Dragilev theorem [3, 6, 7, 2] about the quasidiagonal characterization of the relation (λ(A),λ(B)) ∈ ℬ (which means that all...

Let X be a Banach space and ν a countably additive X-valued measure defined on a σ-algebra. We discuss some generation properties of the Banach space L¹(ν) and its connection with uniform Eberlein compacta. In this way, we provide a new proof that L¹(ν) is weakly compactly generated and embeds isomorphically into a Hilbert generated Banach space. The Davis-Figiel-Johnson-Pełczyński factorization of the integration operator $I_{\nu }:L¹\left(\nu \right)\to X$ is also analyzed. As a result, we prove that if $I_{\nu }$ is both completely continuous...

We study some classes of summing operators between spaces of integrable functions with respect to a vector measure in order to prove a factorization theorem for $1$-summing operators between Banach spaces.

We present a general necessary and sufficient algebraic condition for the spectral dilation of a finitely additive L(X,Y)-valued measure of finite semivariation when X and Y are Banach spaces. Using our condition we derive the main results of Rosenberg, Makagon and Salehi, and Miamee without the assumption that X and/or Y are Hilbert spaces. In addition we relate the dilation problem to the problem of factoring a family of operators through a single Hilbert space.

In recent papers, the Right and the Strong* topologies have been introduced and studied on general Banach spaces. We characterize different types of continuity for multilinear operators (joint, uniform, etc.) with respect to the above topologies. We also study the relations between them. Finally, in the last section, we relate the joint Strong*-to-norm continuity of a multilinear operator T defined on C*-algebras (respectively, JB*-triples) to C*-summability (respectively, JB*-triple-summability)....

For the hypoelliptic differential operators $P={\partial }_x^2+{\left(x^k{\partial }_y-x^l{\partial }_t\right)}^2$ introduced by T. Hoshiro, generalizing a class of M. Christ, in the cases of $k$ and $l$ left open in the analysis, the operators $P$ also fail to be analytic hypoelliptic (except for $(k,l)=(0,1)$), in accordance with Treves’ conjecture. The proof is constructive, suitable for generalization, and relies on evaluating a family of eigenvalues of a non-self-adjoint operator.

Ortega-Cerdà-Seip demonstrated that there are bounded multiplicative Hankel forms which do not arise from bounded symbols. On the other hand, when such a form is in the Hilbert-Schmidt class ₂, Helson showed that it has a bounded symbol. The present work investigates forms belonging to the Schatten classes between these two cases. It is shown that for every $p>{(1-log\pi /log4)}^{-1}$ there exist multiplicative Hankel forms in the Schatten class ${}_p$ which lack bounded symbols. The lower bound on p is in a certain sense optimal...

On montre que le faisceau $ℱ$ des sursolutions locales dans $W_{\mathrm{loc}}^2$ d’un certain opérateur elliptique $L$ est maximal pour un principe du minimum adapté aux espaces de Sobolev. La continuité de la réduite variationnelle des éléments continus permet alors d’étudier des représentants s.c.i.
