Abstract

We introduce the spaces Vxs212Cp(X) (respectively xs1D4B1xs212Cp(X)) of the vector measures xs2131:Σ→X of bounded (p,xs212C)-variation (respectively of bounded (p,xs212C)-semivariation) with respect to a bounded bilinear map xs212C:X×Y →Z and show that the spaces Lxs212Cp(X) consisting of functions which are p-integrable with respect to xs212C, defined in by Blasco and Calabuig [‘Vector-valued functions integrable with respect to bilinear maps’, Taiwanese Math. J. to appear], are isometrically embedded in Vxs212Cp(X). We characterize xs1D4B1xs212Cp(X) in terms of bilinear maps from Lp′×Y into Z and Vxs212Cp(X) as a subspace of operators from Lp′(Z*) into Y*. Also we define the notion of cone absolutely summing bilinear maps in order to describe the (p,xs212C)-variation of a measure in terms of the cone-absolutely summing norm of the corresponding bilinear map from Lp′×Y into Z.
