Abstract

Recently in symplectic geometry there arose an interest in bounding various functionals on spaces of matrices. It appears that Grothendieck’s theorem about factorization is a useful tool for proving such bounds. In this note we present two such applications.

Résumé

Un problème d’intérêt recent en géométrie symplectique porte sur l’existence de bornes de certaines fonctionnelles définies sur des espaces matriciels. Le théorème de factorisation de Grothendieck s’avère utile afin d’établir de telles bornes. Nous en présentons deux exemples dans cet article.
