Asymptotic Behavior of Factorization and Projection Constants

Abstract

This paper is concerned with estimates of important factorization constants that appear in Banach space theory. We prove upper bounds of the Hilbertian norm of projections on finite-dimensional spaces of interpolation spaces generated by certain abstract interpolation functors and show applications to Calderon–Lozanovskii spaces. We also prove estimates of the p-factorization norm and projection constants for finite-dimensional Banach lattices. We show as a consequence of our results that in a large class of n-dimensional Banach sequence lattices \(E_n\) the projection constants \(\lambda (E_n)\) satisfy \(\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }\lambda (E_n)/\sqrt{n} = c\), where \(c=\sqrt{2/\pi }\) in the real case and \(c= \sqrt{\pi }/2\) in the complex case. Applications are given to vector-valued sequence spaces.
