We review several results on interpolation of Banach algebras and factorization of weakly compact homomorphisms. We also establish a new result on interpolation of multilinear operators.
Results of T. Fack, P. de la Harpe and G. Skandalis concerning the internal structure of simple -algebras are extended to -algebras that are inductive limits of finite direct sums of homogeneous -algebras. The generalizations are obtained with slightly varying assumptions on the building blocks, but all results are applicable to unital simple inductive limits of finite direct sums of circle algebras.
Starting with a continuous injection I: X → Y between Banach spaces, we are interested in the Fréchet (non Banach) space obtained as the reduced projective limit of the real interpolation spaces. We study relationships among the pertenence of I to an operator ideal and the pertenence of the given interpolation space to the Grothendieck class generated by that ideal.
Fréchet spaces of strongly, weakly and weak*-continuous Fréchet space valued functions are considered. Complete solutions are given to the problems of their injectivity or embeddability as complemented subspaces in dual Fréchet spaces.
