This is an announcement for the paper "Continuous multilinear functionals on $C(K)$-spaces are integral" by A. Ibort, P. Linares, and J. G. Llavona.
Abstract: In this paper we prove the theorem stated on the title: every continuous multilinear functional on $C(K)$-spaces is integral, or what is the same any polymeasure defined on the product of Borelian $\sigma$-algebras defined on compact sets can be extended to a bounded Borel measure on the compact product space. We provide two different proofs of the same result, each one stressing a different aspect of the various implications of this fact. The first one, valid for compact subsets of $\R^n$, is based on the classical multivariate theory of moments and is a natural extension of the Hausdorff moment problem to multilinear functionals. The second proof relies on a multilinear extension of the decomposition theorem of linear functionals on its positive and negative part which allows us prove a multilinear Riesz Theorem as well. These arguments are valid for arbitrary Hausdorff compact sets.
