LIMIT ORDERS AND MULTILINEAR FORMS ON p SPACES ´ DANIEL CARANDO, VERONICA DIMANT AND PABLO SEVILLA-PERIS Abstract. Since the concept of limit order is a useful tool to study operator ideals, we propose an analogous definition for ideals of multilinear forms. From the limit orders of some special ideals (of nuclear, integral, r-dominated and extendible multilinear forms) we derive some properties of them and show differences between the bilinear and n-linear cases (n ≥ 3). Introduction The theory of operator ideals between Banach spaces has had a re- markable impact in functional analysis since its development, in 1968, by Pietsch and his school. The concept of ideal of multilinear function- als was also introduced by Pietsch [19] in 1983 and has been developed by several authors. The ideals of nuclear, integral or r-summing opera- tors, for example, have found their analogues in the multilinear setting. However, it is important to note that the multilinear theory is far from being a translation of the linear one: it presents very different situa- tions and involves new techniques. In [12, 13], general results about ideals of multilinear mappings are presented. In the linear theory, a tool that proved useful to study different properties of particular ideals is the concept of limit order (see [18]). Motivated by this, we propose an analogous definition for ideals of mul- tilinear forms. As an application of this new concept, we present some properties of the ideals of nuclear, integral, r-dominated and extendible multilinear forms. We show that there are important differences be- tween bilinear and n-
