Duals of Cesàro sequence vector lattices, Cesàro sums of Banach lattices, and their finite elements

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we study the ideals of finite elements in special vector lattices of real sequences, first in the duals of Cesàro sequence spaces $${\text {ces}}_p$$ ces p for $$p\in \{0\}\cup [1,\infty )$$ p ∈ { 0 } ∪ [ 1 , ∞ ) and, second, after the Cesàro sum $${\text {ces}}_{p}{(\mathfrak {X})}$$ ces p ( X ) of a sequence of Banach spaces is introduced, where $$p=\infty $$ p = ∞ is also allowed, we characterize their duals and the finite elements in these sums if the summed up spaces are Banach lattices. This is done by means of a remarkable extension of the corresponding result for direct sums.
