Multilinear extensions of Grothendieck's theorem

Departamento de Análisis Matemático, Facultad de Matemáticas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid 28040, Spain *
We introduce a new class of multilinear p-summing operators, which we call multiple p-summing. Using them, we can prove several multilinear generalizations of Grothendieck's fundamental theorem of the metric theory of tensor products. As an application we prove a vector-valued Littlewood's inequality.
