A generalised mid summability in Banach spaces
In this paper, we study the notion of mid summability in a general setting using the duality theory of sequence spaces. We define the vector valued sequence space $λ^{mid}(X)$ corresponding to a Banach space $X$ and sequence space $λ$. We prove that $λ^{mid}(\cdot)$ can be placed in a chain with the vector valued sequence spaces $λ^{s}(\cdot)$ and $λ^{w}(\cdot)$. Consequently, we define mid $λ$-summing operators and obtain the maximality of these operator ideals for a suitably restricted $λ$. Furthermore, we define a tensor norm using the vector valued sequence spaces $λ^{s}(\cdot)$ and $λ^{mid}(\cdot)$, and establish its correspondence with the operator ideal of absolutely mid $λ$-summing operators.
