Kruglov Operator and Operators Defined by Random Permutations

The Kruglov property and the Kruglov operator play an important role in the study of geometric properties of r. i. function spaces. We prove that the boundedness of the Kruglov operator in an r. i. space is equivalent to the uniform boundedness on this space of a sequence of operators defined by random permutations. It is also shown that there is no minimal r. i. space with the Kruglov property.
