The aim of this paper is to present some results about the space $L^{\varPhi }(\nu ),$ where $\nu$ is a vector measure on a compact (not necessarily abelian) group and $\varPhi$ is a Young function. We show that under natural conditions, the space $L^{\varPhi }(\nu )$ becomes an $L^{1}(G)$-module with respect to the usual convolution of functions. We also define one more convolution structure on $L^{\varPhi }(\nu ).$

We consider a multilinear kernel operator between Banach function spaces over finite measures and suitable order continuity properties, namely $T:X_{1}(\,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{1})\times \cdots \times X_{n}(\,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{n})\rightarrow Y(\,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{0})$. Then we define, via duality, a class of linear operators associated to the $j$-transpose operators. We show that, under certain conditions of $p$th power factorability of such operators, there exist vector measures $m_{j}$ for $j=0,1,\ldots ,n$ so that $T$ factors through a multilinear operator $\widetilde{T}:L^{p_{1}}(m_{1})\times \cdots \times L^{p_{n}}(m_{n})\rightarrow L^{p_{0}^{\prime }}(m_{0})^{\ast }$, provided that $1/p_{0}=1/p_{1}+\cdots +1/p_{n}$. We apply this scheme to the study of the class of multilinear Calderón–Zygmund operators and provide some concrete examples for the homogeneous polynomial and multilinear Volterra and Laplace operators.

We analyze domination properties and factorization of operators in Banach spaces through subspaces of $L^{1}$-spaces. Using vector measure integration and extending classical arguments based on scalar integral bounds, we provide characterizations of operators factoring through subspaces of $L^{1}$-spaces of finite measures. Some special cases involving positivity and compactness of the operators are considered.

Given a metrizable locally convex-solid Riesz space of measurable functions we provide a procedure to construct a minimal Fréchet (function) lattice containing it, called its Fatou completion. As an application, we obtain that the Fatou completion of the space L1(ν) of integrable functions with respect to a Fréchet-space-valued measure ν is the space L1w(ν) of scalarly ν-integrable functions. Further consequences are also given.

We introduce the spaces Vℬp(X) (respectively 𝒱ℬp(X)) of the vector measures ℱ:Σ→X of bounded (p,ℬ)-variation (respectively of bounded (p,ℬ)-semivariation) with respect to a bounded bilinear map ℬ:X×Y →Z and show that the spaces Lℬp(X) consisting of functions which are p-integrable with respect to ℬ, defined in by Blasco and Calabuig [‘Vector-valued functions integrable with respect to bilinear maps’, Taiwanese Math. J. to appear], are isometrically embedded in Vℬp(X). We characterize 𝒱ℬp(X) in terms of bilinear maps from Lp′×Y into Z and Vℬp(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,ℬ)-variation of a measure in terms of the cone-absolutely summing norm of the corresponding bilinear map from Lp′×Y into Z.
