Abstract

A classical inequality due to Bohnenblust and Hille states that for every NNN \in \mathbb{N} and every mm-linear mapping U:N×...×NCU:\ell_{\infty}^{N}\times...\times\ell_{\infty}^{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{C} we have \[(\sum\limits_{i_{1},...,i_{m}=1}^{N}| U(e_{i_{^{1}}},...,e_{i_{m}})| ^{\frac{2m}{m+1}}) ^{\frac{m+1}{2m}}\leq C_{m}| U|] where Cm=2m12C_{m}=2^{\frac{m-1}{2}}. The result is also true for real Banach spaces. In this note we show that an adequate use of a recent new proof of Bohnenblust-Hille inequality, due to Defant, Popa and Schwarting, combined with the optimal constants of Khinchine's inequality (due to Haagerup) provides quite better estimates for the constants involved in the real Bohnenblust-Hille inequality. For instance, for 2m14,2\leq m\leq 14, we show that the constants Cm=2m12C_{m}=2^\frac{m-1}{2} can be replaced by 2m2+6m88m2^{\frac{m^{2}+6m-8}{8m}} if mm is even and by 2m2+6m78m2^{\frac{m^{2}+6m-7}{8m}} if mm is odd, which substantially improve the known values of CmC_{m}. We also show that the new constants present a better asymptotic behavior.
