Convexity and concavity in Banach lattices
Abstract
These notes are a detailed, self-contained introductory course on convexity and concavity in Banach lattices, suitable for both experts and beginners. We revisit, from a modern perspective, the classical notions of -convexity, -concavity and upper and lower -estimates, and the main relations between these properties, integrating more recent developments in the area. We explain in full detail the -convexification and -concavification techniques and how they can be used to build renormings of Banach lattices that improve the convexity and concavity constants. We also provide a comprehensive exposition of the main factorization results for -convex and -concave operators, including well-known results from Krivine, Maurey--Nikishin, Pietsch and Pisier, and their applications to the representation of convex and concave Banach lattices.
