Kalton, N. J. Differentials of complex interpolation processes for Köthe function spaces. (English) Zbl 0776.46033 Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 333, No. 2, 479-529 (1992). Summary: We continue the study of centralizers on Köthe function spaces and the commutator estimates they generate [see the author, Nonlinear commutators in interpolation theory, Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 385, 85 p. (1988; Zbl 0658.46059)]. Our main result is that if \(X\) is a super-reflexive Köthe function space then for every real centralizer \(\Omega\) on \(X\) there is a complex interpolation scale of Köthe function spaces through \(X\) inducing \(\Omega\) as a derivative, up to equivalence and a scalar multiple. Thus, in a loose sense, all real centralizers can be identified with derivatives of complex interpolation processes. We apply our ideas in an appendix to show, for example, that there is a twisted sum of two Hilbert spaces which fails to be a (UMD)-space.
