Pisier:Factor Linear Oper Cbms 60 P Expanded Lectures

Examines the central question of which Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ have the property that every bounded operator from $X$ to $Y$ factors through a Hilbert space, in particular when the operators are defined on a Banach lattice, a $C^*$-algebra or the disc algebra and $H^\infty$. This title is suitable for those working in functional analysis.
