TENSOR PRODUCTS OF VECTOR SEMINORMED SPACES A Thesis presented in partial fulllment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Mathematics The University of Mississippi by JOHN WILLIAM DEVER June 2012 Copyright c 2012 by John William Dever All rights reserved. ABSTRACT A vector seminormed space is a triple consisting of a vector space, a Dedekind com- plete Riesz space, and a vector valued seminorm, called a vector seminorm, dened on the vector space and taking values in the Riesz space. The collection of vector seminormed spaces with suitably dened morphisms is shown to be a category containing nite prod- ucts. A theory of vector seminorms on the tensor products of vector seminormed spaces is developed in analogy with the theory of tensor products of Banach spaces. Accordingly, a reasonable cross vector seminorm, or simply tensor seminorm, is dened such that a vector seminorm is a tensor seminorm if and only if it is in between the injective and projective vector seminorms, in analogy with the theory for normed spaces.
