Abstract

These notes deal with the extension of multilinear operators on Banach spaces. The organization of the paper is as follows. In the first section we study the extension of the product on a Banach algebra to the bidual and some related structures including modules and derivations. Tha approach is elementary and uses the classical Arens' technique. Actually most of the results of section 1 can be easily derived from section 2. In section 2 we consider the problem of extending multilinear forms on a given Banach space to a larger space Y containing it as a closed subspace. In the third section we shall show that the extension operators of section 2 preserve the symmetry if (and only if) X is regular (that is, every linear operator X --> X' is weakly compact). Also, we give some applications to the (co)homology of Banach algebras. Given a multilinear operator T: X x ... x X --> Z, the (vector valued version of the) Aron-Berner extension provides us with a multilinear extension ab(T): X'' x ... x X'' --> Z'' which, in general, takes values in Z''. In section 4 we study some consequences of the fact that the range of ab(T) stays in the original space Z. We shall show that those operators whose Aron-Berner extensions are Z-valued play a similar role in the multilinear theory that weakly compact operators in the linear theory, thus obtaining multinear characterizations of some classical Banach space properties related to weak compactness in terms of operators having Z-valued Aron-Berner extensions. Finally in section 5 we give an application of the Aron-Berner extension to the representation of multilinear operators on spaces of continuous functions by polymeasures.

For Banach spaces X and Y, we establish a natural bijection between preduals of Y and preduals of L(X,Y) that respect the right L(X)-module structure. If X is reflexive, it follows that there is a unique predual making L(X) into a dual Banach algebra. This removes the condition that X have the approximation property in a result of Daws. We further establish a natural bijection between projections that complement Y in its bidual and L(X)-linear projections that complement L(X,Y) in its bidual. It follows that Y is complemented in its bidual if and only if L(X,Y) is (either as a module or as a Banach space). Our results are new even in the well-studied case of isometric preduals.

We study when Aron–Berner extensions of (separately) almost Dunford–Pettis multilinear operators between Banach lattices are (separately) almost Dunford–Pettis. For instance, for a σσ\sigma -Dedekind complete Banach lattice F containing a copy of ℓ∞\ell _\infty , we characterize the Banach lattices E1,…,EmE1,,EmE_1, \ldots , E_m for which every continuous m-linear operator from E1×⋯×EmE1××EmE_1 \times \cdots \times E_m to F admits an almost Dunford–Pettis Aron–Berner extension. Illustrative examples are provided.

We prove several results establishing conditions on the Banach lattices E_1,..., E_m and F so that the Aron-Berner extensions of (separately) almost Dunford-Pettis m-linear operators from E_1 x ... x E_m to F are (separately) almost Dunford-Pettis. Illustrative examples are provided.
... The theory of multilinear operators on Banach spaces emerged as a counterpart to that of linear operators and concerned mainly extension properties, ideal theory, interpolation and absolutely summing multilinear operators, see, for instance, the survey papers [8], [30], [31]. ...

The paper is concerned with compact bilinear operators on asymmetric normed spaces. The study of multilinear operators on asymmetric normed spaces was initiated by Latreche and Dahia (2020) [24]. We go further in this direction and prove a Schauder type theorem on the compactness of the adjoint of a compact bilinear operator and study the ideal properties of spaces of compact bilinear operators. These extend some results of Ramanujan and Schock (1985) [34], and Ruch (1989) [36], on compact bilinear operators on Banach spaces. On the space of bilinear forms one introduces the analog of the weak⁎-topology, called the w2-topology, and one proves an Alaoglu-Bourbaki type theorem – the w2-compactness of the closed unit ball.

The paper is concerned with compact bilinear operators on asymmetric normed spaces. One proves a Schauder type theorem on the compactness of the conjugate of a compact bilinear operator and one studies the ideal properties of spaces of compact bilinear operators. These extend some results of Ramanujan and Schock, Linear and Multilinear Algebra (1985), and Ruch, ibid. (1989), on compact bilinear operators on Banach spaces.

First we give a counterexample showing that recent results on separate order continuity of Arens extensions of multilinear operators cannot be improved to get separate order continuity on the product of the whole of the biduals. Then we establish conditions on the operators and/or on the underlying Riesz spaces/Banach lattices so that the extensions are order continuous on the product of the whole biduals. We also prove that all Arens extensions of any regular multilinear operator are order continuous in at least one variable and we study when Arens extensions of regular homogeneous polynomials on a Banach lattice E are order continuous on EE^{**}.

We prove that all Arens extensions of finite rank Riesz multimorphisms taking values in Archimedean Riesz spaces coincide and are Riesz multimorphisms. We also prove that, for a class of Banach lattices F, which includes F=c0,ℓp,c0(ℓp),ℓp(c0), ℓp(ℓs),1<p,s<∞, among many others, all Aron-Berner extensions of any F-valued Riesz multimorphism between Banach lattices are Riesz multimorphisms.

We prove that all Arens extensions of finite rank Riesz multimorphisms taking values in Archimedean Riesz spaces coincide and are Riesz multimorphisms. Partial results for arbitrary Riesz multimorphisms are obtained. We also prove that all Aron-Berner extensions of Riesz multimorphisms between Banach lattices taking values in a class of Banach lattices F, which includes F=c0,p,c0(p),p(c0),p(s),1<p,s<F = c_0, \ell_p, c_0(\ell_p), \ell_p(c_0), \ell_p(\ell_s), 1 < p,s < \infty, are Riesz multimorphisms.

We obtain an explicit description of the spectrum (set of closed maximal ideals) of H b ( X ) , H_b(X), algebra of analytic functions on a Banach space X X which are bounded on bounded subsets. We show that the spectrum of H b ( X ) H_b(X) admits a natural linear structure. Some applications to the algebra of uniformly continuous and bounded analytic functions on the unit ball B ⊂ X B\subset X are indicated.

We establish a multilinear generalisation of Synnatzschke’s Theorem for regular operators on Banach lattices, with the Arens adjoint taking the place of the transpose. Using this result, we show that the Aron–Berner extension of a regular homogeneous polynomial to the order continuous bidual preserves the absolute value. As a consequence, it follows that the regular norm is preserved by the Aron–Berner extension.

Let X and Y be two Banach spaces. We show that a bounded bilinear form m: X x V → C is Arens regular iff it is weakly compact. This result permits us to find very short proofs of some known results as well as some new results. Some of them are: Any C-algebra, the disk algebra and the Hardy class H∞ are Arens regular under every possible product. We also characterize the Arens regularity of certain bilinear mappings.

Given Banach spaces E and F, a Banach space GEF is presented in which E is embedded and which seems a natural space to which extend Fvalued analytic functions. Any F-valued analytic function defined on a subset U of E may be extended to an open neighborhood of U in GEF. This extension generalizes that of Aron and Berner. It is also related to the Arens product in Banach algebras, to the functional calculus for bounded linear operators, and to an old problem of duality in spaces of analytic functions. A characterization of the Aron-Berner extension is given in terms of continuity properties of first-order differentials.
