Regularity lemmas in a Banach space setting
Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is a fundamental tool in extremal graph
theory, theoretical computer science and combinatorial number theory. Lov\'asz
and Szegedy [L. Lov\'asz and B. Szegedy: Szemer\'edi's Lemma for the analyst,
Geometric and Functional Analysis 17 (2007), 252-270] gave a Hilbert space
interpretation of the lemma and an interpretation in terms of compact- ness of
the space of graph limits. In this paper we prove several compactness results
in a Banach space setting, generalising results of Lov\'asz and Szegedy as well
as a result of Borgs, Chayes, Cohn and Zhao [C. Borgs, J.T. Chayes, H. Cohn and
Y. Zhao: An Lp theory of sparse graph convergence I: limits, sparse random
graph models, and power law distributions, arXiv preprint arXiv:1401.2906
(2014)].Comment: 15 pages. The topological part has been substantially improved based
on referees comments. To appear in European Journal of Combinatoric
