RT Journal Article T1 Grothendieck's theorem for absolutely summing multilinear operators is optimal A1 Pellegrino, Daniel A1 Seoane-Sepúlveda, Juan B. AB Grothendieck's theorem asserts that every continuous linear operator from ℓ1 to ℓ2 is absolutely (1;1)-summing. In this note we prove that the optimal constant gm so that every continuous m-linear operator from ℓ1×⋯×ℓ1 to ℓ2 is absolutely (gm;1)-summing is 2m+1. We also show that if gm<2m+1 there is c dimensional linear space composed by continuous non absolutely (gm;1)-summing m-linear operators from ℓ1×⋯×ℓ1 to ℓ2. In particular, our result solves (in the positive) a conjecture posed by A.T. Bernardino in 2011.
