We define the k:th moment of a Banach space valued random variable as the expectation of its k:th tensor power; thus the moment (if it exists) is an element of a tensor power of the original Banach space. We study both the projective and injective tensor products, and their relation. Moreover, in order to be general and flexible, we study three different types of expectations: Bochner integrals...

We investigate the norm of sums of independent vector-valued random variables in noncommutative Lp spaces. This allows us to obtain a uniform family of complete embeddings of the Schatten class S q in Sp(lmq ) with optimal order m ∼ n. Using these embeddings we show the surprising fact that the sharp type (cotype) index in the sense of operator spaces for Lp[0, 1] is min(p, p) (max(p, p)). Simi...

we characterize compact composition operators on real banach spaces of complex-valued bounded lipschitz functions on metric spaces, not necessarily compact, with lipschitz involutions and determine their spectra.

A stochastic integral of Banach space valued deterministic functions with respect to Banach space valued Lévy processes is defined. There are no conditions on the Banach spaces nor on the Lévy processes. The integral is defined analogously to the Pettis integral. The integrability of a function is characterized by means of a radonifying property of an integral operator associated to the integra...
