(p,q)-regular operators between Banach lattices

We study the class of $(p,q)$-regular operators between quasi-Banach lattices. In particular, a representation of this class as the dual of a certain tensor norm for Banach lattices is given. We also provide some factorization results for $(p,q)$-regular operators yielding new Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund type inequalities for Banach function spaces. An extension theorem for $(q, \infty)$-regular operators defined on a subspace of $L_q$ is also given.
