             "Orthogonally additive polynomials over $C(K)$"
Abstract: Two continuous functions on the compact set $K$ are called
orthogonal if their product is zero. A continuous homogeneous
polynomial over $C(K)$ is said to be orthogonally additive if
$P(u+v)=P(u)+P(v)$, for all orthogonal $u$ and $v$. In two recent
papers Benyamini-Llavona-Lassalle and Perez-Villanueva characterize
such polynomials using Borel measures on $K$. The two proofs are
different and both very technical. In this talk we provide a third
proof of the result. Our proof uses the Aron-Berner extension, a
linearization procedure (which will be explained in the talk) and
elementary topology and functional analysis. The proof is far shorter
than those mentioned above.
