Type and cotype of operator spaces
We consider two operator space versions of type and cotype, namely -type, -cotype and type (p,H), cotype (q,H) for a homogeneous Hilbertian operator space H and 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 ≤ q ≤ ∞, generalizing “OH-cotype 2” of G. Pisier. We compute type and cotype of some Hilbertian operator spaces and spaces, and we investigate the relationship between a homogeneous Hilbertian space H and operator spaces with cotype (2,H). As applications we consider operator space versions of generalized little Grothendieck’s...
