Complexification norms and estimates for polynomials.
We give a unified treatment of procedures for complexifying real Banach spaces. These include several approaches used in the past. We obtain best possible results for comparison of the norms of real polynomials and multilinear mappings with the norms of their complex extensions. These estimates provide generalizations and show sharpness of previously obtained inequalities.
In this paper we prove some composition results for strongly summing and dominated operators. As an application we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a multilinear tensor product of multilinear operators to be strongly summing or dominated. Moreover, we show the failure of some possible n-linear versions of Grothendieck’s composition theorem in the case n ≥ 2 and give a new example of a 1-dominated, hence strongly 1-summing bilinear operator which is not weakly compact.
