Our primary objective in [2] was to represent the operators U() as integral operators with continuous kernels in a consistent fashion, i.e. where the kernels and There are two canonical choices for integration are defined over the same space. this space namely G and In Chapter II of [2] we acomplished our objective X over each of these spaces. In section 3 of [2], we constructed a representation V function space V() operator F V certain dense subspace of F V G on a Banach In particular, each U which was isometrically equivalent to was written in the following form: of for each continuous g in a we have J- V()g(x) J (x,y)g(y)dy G x G J where is a continuous mapping from G G into Hom(E) Although this result is satisfactory from the consistency viewpoint, there is a significant shortcoming. The space F V LP-space. is a proper closed subspace of a vector-valued Thus, many of the important existing results for integral operators cannot be used with this model of the integrated form of U In section 4 of [2], we next turned our attention to the quotient space constructed a representation {E : W of G on a continuous sum X} which was also isometrically equivalent to U F W X of Banach spaces Each operator W() We INTEGRAL OPERATORS IN INDUCED BANACH REPRESENTATIONS for each "continuous" vector field was written as follows: subspace of F W h 627 in a certain dense we have W()h() f K(,n)h(n)d] g X X where K is a "continuous" field of bounded operators in K(,) Hom(EA,E)T!

First, a continuity structure (and its implications) is quite complicated and is a less intuitive object to work with than is the more fundamental and familiar notion of topological continuity. although the kernels K do belong to a continuity structure in Hom(E structure partially loses a desirable property in the transition from G Second, ,E) to this X (See pp. 25-29 of [2] for a rigorous explanation.)

The main objectives of this paper are to show exactly how to accomplish (i) and (2). Section 2 is devoted to recalling the necessary preliminaries. In sections 3 and 4, we construct the Banach bundles corresponding to the continuity structures in NE K and NHom(E ,E) respectively. Finally, in section 5, we show that the kernels are continuous cross-sections for the bundle of section 4. 628 I. E. SCHOCHETMAN PRELIMINARIES. 2 [2].
