We lift to homogeneous polynomials and multilinear mappings a linear result due to Lindenstrauss and Pełczyński for absolutely summing operators. We explore the notion of cotype to obtain stronger results and provide various examples of situations in which the space of absolutely summing homogeneous polynomials is different from the whole space of homogeneous polynomials. Among other consequences, these results enable us to obtain answers to some open questions about absolutely summing homogeneous...
We investigate cases ("coincidence situations") in which every scalar-valued continuous n-homogeneous polynomial (or every continuous n-linear mapping) is absolutely (p;q)-summing. We extend some well known coincidence situations and obtain several non-coincidence results, inspired by a linear technique due to Lindenstrauss and Pełczyński.
We introduce and investigate the non-n-linear concept of fully summing mappings; if n = 1 this concept coincides with the notion of nonlinear absolutely summing mappings and in this sense this article unifies these two theories. We also introduce a non-n-linear definition of Hilbert-Schmidt mappings and sketch connections between this concept and fully summing mappings.
We show that, as in the linear case, the normalized Haar measure on a compact topological group G is a Pietsch measure for nonlinear summing mappings on closed translation invariant subspaces of C(G). This answers a question posed to the authors by J. Diestel. We also show that our result applies to several well-studied classes of nonlinear summing mappings. In the final section some problems are proposed.
