Ideals of multilinear forms - A limit order approach

Abstract

A general theory of limit orders for ideals of multilinear forms is developed. We relate the limit order of an ideal to those of its maximal hull and its adjoint ideal. We study the limit orders of the ideals of dominated and multiple summing multilinear forms. Finally, estimates of the diagonal of a (non-necessarily diagonal) multilinear form are presented, in terms of the limit order of the ideals to which it belongs.
