The representation of linear operators, on the Banach space of Bochner integrable functions, has been the object of much study for the past fifty years. Dunford and Pettis began this investigation in 1940 with the representation of weakly compact and norm compact operators on L1(R) by a Bochner integral, see [6,8]. Andrews has extended their study to the case of the space L1(E), of E-valued, Bo...

We study heat kernel measures on sub-Riemannian infinitedimensional Heisenberg-like Lie groups. In particular, we show that Cameron-Martin type quasi-invariance results hold in this subelliptic setting and give L-estimates for the Radon-Nikodym derivatives. The main ingredient in our proof is a generalized curvature-dimension estimate which holds on approximating finite-dimensional projection g...

In this paper we prove almost sure convergence to the ball, in the Nikodym metric, of sequences of random Steiner symmetrizations of bounded Caccioppoli and bounded measurable sets, paralleling a result due to Mani-Levitska concerning convex bodies. AMS classification: 60D05, 52A40, 28A05

Let AI, be commutative semlslmple Banach algebras and 1 02 A2 be their projective tensor product. We prove that, if 10 2 is a group algebra (measure algebra) of a locally compact abelian group, then so are A 1 and A2. As a consequence, we prove that, if G is a locally compact abelian group and A is a comutatlve semi-simple Banach algebra, then the Banach algebra LI(G,A) of A-valued Bochner inte...

A completely n -positive linear map from a locally C∗-algebra A to another locally C∗-algebra B is an n × n matrix whose elements are continuous linear maps from A to B and which verifies the condition of completely positivity. In this paper we prove a Radon-Nikodym type theorem for strict completely n-positive linear maps which describes the order relation on the set of all strict completely n...
