We obtain conditions that assure this fact and present some examples. We prove that if $\\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\\mathcal{P}(^nE)$, then $\\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ coincides with $\\mathcal{P}_{w0}(^nE)$ ($n$-homogeneous polynomials that are weakly continuous on bounded sets at 0). We introduce a polynomial version of property $(M)$ and derive that if $\\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)=\\mathcal{P}_{w0}(^nE)$ and $\\mathcal{K}(E)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\\mathcal{L}(E)$, then $\\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. We also show that if $\\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$ is an $M$-ideal in $\\mathcal{P}(^nE)$, then the set of $n$-homogeneous polynomials whose Aron-Berner extension do not attain the norm is nowhere dense in $\\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. Finally, we face an analogous $M$-ideal problem for block diagonal polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-09-06T16:55:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46G25", "46B04", "47L22", "46B20" ], "keywords": [ "homogeneous polynomials", "block diagonal polynomials", "bounded sets", "aron-berner extension", "ideal problem" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1005.1260D" } } }
