On majorizing and cone-absolutely summing mappings

Abstract

The notions of majorizing mappings and cone-absolutely summing mappings are studied in the locally convex Riesz space setting. It is shown that a locally convex Riesz space Y is an M-space in the sense of Jameson (1970) if and only if, for any locally convex space E, every continuous linear map from E into Y is majorizing. Another purpose of this note is to study the lattice properties of the vector space ℒl(X, Y) of cone-absolutely summing mappings from one locally convex Riesz space into another Y. It is shown that if Y is both locally and boundedly order complete, then ℒl(X, Y) is an l-ideal in Lb(X, Y). This improves a result of Krengel.
