We study the problem of whether ${}_w\left(ⁿE\right)$, the space of n-homogeneous polynomials which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an M-ideal in the space (ⁿE) of continuous n-homogeneous polynomials. We obtain conditions that ensure this fact and present some examples. We prove that if ${}_w\left(ⁿE\right)$ is an M-ideal in (ⁿE), then ${}_w\left(ⁿE\right)$ coincides with ${}_{w0}\left(ⁿE\right)$ (n-homogeneous polynomials that are weakly continuous on bounded sets at 0). We introduce a polynomial version of property (M) and derive that if ${}_w\left(ⁿE\right){=}_{w0}\left(ⁿE\right)$ and (E) is an M-ideal in...

We study whether the operator space $V**\stackrel{\alpha }{\otimes }W**$ can be identified with a subspace of the bidual space $\left(V\stackrel{\alpha }{\otimes }W\right)**$, for a given operator space tensor norm. We prove that this can be done if α is finitely generated and V and W are locally reflexive. If in addition the dual spaces are locally reflexive and the bidual spaces have the completely bounded approximation property, then the identification is through a complete isomorphism. When α is the projective, Haagerup or injective norm, the hypotheses can be weakened.

We establish Hölder-type inequalities for Lorentz sequence spaces and their duals. In order to achieve these and some related inequalities, we study diagonal multilinear forms in general sequence spaces, and obtain estimates for their norms. We also consider norms of multilinear forms in different Banach multilinear ideals.

We define the class of integral holomorphic functions over Banach spaces; these are functions admitting an integral representation akin to the Cauchy integral formula, and are related to integral polynomials. After studying various properties of these functions, Banach and Fréchet spaces of integral holomorphic functions are defined, and several aspects investigated: duality, Taylor series approximation, biduality and reflexivity.
