The Duality between Ideals of Multilinear Operators and Tensor Norms
We develop the duality theory between ideals of multilinear operators and tensor norms that arises from the geometric approach of $Σ$-operators. To this end, we introduce and develop the notions of $Σ$-ideals of multilinear operators and $Σ$-tensor norms. We establish the foundations of this theory by proving a representation theorem for maximal $Σ$-ideals of multilinear operators by finitely generated $Σ$-tensor norms and a duality theorem for $Σ$-tensor norms. For these notions we also develop basic theory and present concrete examples.
