The Grothendieck Inequality Revisited (Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society)

The classical Grothendieck inequality is viewed as a statement about representations of functions of two variables over discrete domains by integrals of two-fold products of functions of one variable. An analogous statement is proved, concerning continuous functions of two variables over general topological domains. The main result is the construction of a continuous map f from l2 (A) into L2 (O A, PA), where A is a set, OA = {-1,1}A, and PA is the uniform probability measure on OA.
