The impact of the Radon-Nikodym property on the weak bounded approximation property.
A Banach space X is said to have the weak λ-bounded approximation property if for every separable reflexive Banach space Y and for every compact operator T : X → Y, there exists a net (Sα) of finite-rank operators on X such that supα ||TSα|| ≤ λ||T|| and Sα → IX uniformly on compact subsets of X.We prove the following theorem. Let X** or Y* have the Radon-Nikodym property; if X has the weak λ-bounded approximation property, then for every bounded linear operator T: X → Y, there exists a net (Sα)...
