On Convex Functions of Gaussian Variables

We investigate a convexity properties for normalized log moment generating function continuing a recent investigation of Chen of convex images of Gaussians. We show that any variable satisfying a ``Ehrhard-like'' property for its distribution function has a strictly convex normalized log moment generating function, unless the variable is Gaussian, in which case affine-ness is achieved. Moreover we characterize variables that satisfy the Ehrhard-like property as the convex images of Gaussians. As applications, we derive sharp comparisons between Rényi divergences for a Gaussian and a strongly log-concave variable, and characterize the equality case. We also demonstrate essentially optimal concentration bounds for the sequence of conic intrinsic volumes associated to convex cone and we obtain a reversal of McMullen's inequality between the sum of the (Euclidean) intrinsic volumes associated to a convex body and the body's mean width that generalizes and sharpens a result of Alonso-Hernandez-Yepes.

Polynomials as Lipschitz maps on the Veronese cone

Given a Banach space $X$ and $d\in \mathbb{N}$, we construct a metric space $\mathbb{V}_X^d$ with the property that every $d$-homogeneous polynomial defined on $X$ factors through a Lipschitz map on it. We prove that the metric on $\mathbb{V}_X^d$ is independent (up to a constant) of the norm of the tensor space in which it is embedded. We apply this fact to prove that a homogeneous polynomial is Lipschitz $q$-summing as a polynomial if and only if its associated Lipschitz map is Lipschitz $q$-summing. This result generalizes the already known theorem for linear operators

Lipschitz p-summing multilinear operators correspond to Lipschitz p-summing operators

We give conditions that ensure that an operator satisfying a Piestch domination in a given setting also satisfies a Piestch domination in a different setting. From this we derive that a bounded mutlilinear operator $T$ is Lipschitz $p$-summing if and only if the mapping $ f_T(x_1\otimes\cdots \otimes x_n):=T(x_1,\ldots, x_n)$ is Lipschitz $p$-summing. The results are based on the projective tensor norm. An example with the Hilbert tensor norm is provided to show that the statement may not hold when a reasonable cross-norm other than the projective tensor norm is considered.

Lipschitz $p$-summing multilinear operators

We apply the geometric approach provided by $Σ$-operators to develop a theory of $p$-summability for multilinear operators. In this way, we introduce the notion of Lipschitz $p$-summing multilinear operators and show that it is consistent with a general panorama of generalization: Namely, they satisfy Pietsch-type domination and factorization theorems and generalizations of the inclusion Theorem, Grothendieck's coincidence Theorems, the weak Dvoretsky-Rogers Theorem and a Lindenstrauss-Pelczyńsky Theorem. We also characterize this new class in tensorial terms by means of a Chevet-Saphar-type tensor norm. Moreover, we introduce the notion of Dunford-Pettis multilinear operators. With them, we characterize when a projective tensor product contains $\ell_1$. Relations between Lipschitz $p$-summing multilinear operators with Dunford-Pettis and Hilbert-Schmidt multilinear operators are given.

A General Theory of Tensor Products of Convex Sets in Euclidean Spaces

We introduce both the notions of tensor product of convex bodies that contain zero in the interior, and of tensor product of $0$-symmetric convex bodies in Euclidean spaces. We prove that there is a bijection between tensor products of $0$-symmetric convex bodies and tensor norms on finite dimensional spaces. This bijection preserves duality, injectivity and projectivity. We obtain a formulation of Grothendieck`s Theorem for $0$-symmetric convex bodies and use it to give a geometric representation (up to the $K_G$-constant) of the Hilbertian tensor product. We see that the property of having enough symmetries is preserved by these tensor products, and exhibit relations with the Löwner and the John ellipsoids.

Convex Bodies Associated to Tensor Norms

We determine when a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{R}^{d_l},$ $d=d_1\cdots d_l.$ We call these convex bodies "tensorial bodies". We prove that, among them, the only ellipsoids are the closed unit balls of Hilbert tensor products of Euclidean spaces. It is also proved that linear isomorphisms on $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots \otimes \mathbb{R}^{d_l}$ preserving decomposable vectors map tensorial bodies into tensorial bodies. This leads us to define a Banach-Mazur type distance between them, and to prove that there exists a Banach-Mazur type compactum of tensorial bodies.

Multilinear Operators Factoring through Hilbert Spaces

We characterize those bounded multilinear operators that factor through a Hilbert space in terms of its behavior in finite sequences. This extends a result, essentially due to S. Kwapień, from the linear to the multilinear setting. We prove that Hilbert-Schmidt and Lipschitz $2$-summing multilinear operators naturally factor through a Hilbert space. It is also proved that the class $Γ$ of all multilinear operators that factor through a Hilbert space is a maximal multi-ideal; moreover, we give an explicit formulation of a finitely generated tensor norm $γ$ which is in duality with $Γ$.

The Segre cone of Banach spaces and multilinear operators

We prove that any pair of reasonable cross norms defined on the tensor product of $n$ Banach spaces induce $(2k)^{n-1}$-Lipschitz equivalent metrics (and thus, a unique topology) on the set $S^k_{X_1,\ldots, X_n}$ of vectors of rank $\leq k$. With this, we define the Segre cone of Banach spaces, $Σ_{X_1,\ldots, X_n},$ and state when $S^k_{X_1,\ldots, X_n}$ is closed. We introduce an auxiliary mapping (a $Σ$-operator) that allows us to study multilinear mappings with a geometrical point of view. We use the isometric correspondence between multilinear mappings and Lipschitz $Σ$-operators, to have a strategy to generalize ideal properties from the linear to the multilinear settitng.

Bilinear Ideals in Operator Spaces

We introduce a concept of bilinear ideal of jointly completely bounded mappings between operator spaces. In particular, we study the bilinear ideals $\mathcal{N}$ of completely nuclear, $\mathcal{I }$ of completely integral, $\mathcal{E}$ of completely extendible bilinear mappings, $\mathcal{MB}$ multiplicatively bounded and its symmetrization $\mathcal{SMB}$. We prove some basic properties of them, one of which is the fact that $\mathcal{I}$ is naturally identified with the ideal of (linear) completely integral mappings on the injective operator space tensor product.
