We give sufficient conditions for subsets of compact operators to be weakly precompact. Let $L_{w*}(E*,F)$ (resp. $K_{w*}(E*,F)$) denote the set of all w* - w continuous (resp. w* - w continuous compact) operators from E* to F. We prove that if H is a subset of $K_{w*}(E*,F)$ such that H(x*) is relatively weakly compact for each x* ∈ E* and H*(y*) is weakly precompact for each y* ∈ F*, then H is weakly precompact. We also prove the following results: If E has property (wV*) and F has property (V*), then $K_{w*}(E*,F)$ has property (wV*). Suppose...

Let (Ω,Σ,μ) be a probability space, X a Banach space, and L₁(μ,X) the Banach space of Bochner integrable functions f:Ω → X. Let W = f ∈ L₁(μ,X): for a.e. ω ∈ Ω, ||f(ω)|| ≤ 1. In this paper we characterize the weakly precompact subsets of L₁(μ,X). We prove that a bounded subset A of L₁(μ,X) is weakly precompact if and only if A is uniformly integrable and for any sequence (fₙ) in A, there exists a sequence (gₙ) with $gₙ\in co{f}_i:i\ge n$ for each n such that for a.e. ω ∈ Ω, the sequence (gₙ(ω)) is weakly Cauchy in X....

We give sufficient conditions on Banach spaces E and F so that their projective tensor product $E{\otimes }_{\pi }F$ and the duals of their projective and injective tensor products do not have the Dunford-Pettis property. We prove that if E* does not have the Schur property, F is infinite-dimensional, and every operator T:E* → F** is completely continuous, then $\left(E{\otimes }_{ϵ}F\right)*$ does not have the DPP. We also prove that if E* does not have the Schur property, F is infinite-dimensional, and every operator T: F** → E* is completely...

Suppose X and Y are Banach spaces, K is a compact Hausdorff space, Σ is the σ-algebra of Borel subsets of K, C(K,X) is the Banach space of all continuous X-valued functions (with the supremum norm), and T:C(K,X) → Y is a strongly bounded operator with representing measure m:Σ → L(X,Y). We show that if T is a strongly bounded operator and T̂:B(K,X) → Y is its extension, then T is limited if and only if its extension T̂ is limited, and that T* is completely continuous (resp. unconditionally...

A Banach space $X$ has the reciprocal Dunford-Pettis property ($RDPP$) if every completely continuous operator $T$ from $X$ to any Banach space $Y$ is weakly compact. A Banach space $X$ has the $RDPP$ (resp. property $\left(wL\right)$) if every $L$-subset of $X^{*}$ is relatively weakly compact (resp. weakly precompact). We prove that the projective tensor product $X\otimes {}_{\pi }Y$ has property $\left(wL\right)$ when $X$ has the $RDPP$, $Y$ has property $\left(wL\right)$, and $L(X,Y^{*})=K(X,Y^{*})$.

Equivalent formulations of the Dunford-Pettis property of order $p$ (${DPP}_p$), $1<p<\infty$, are studied. Let $L(X,Y)$, $W(X,Y)$, $K(X,Y)$, $U(X,Y)$, and $C_p(X,Y)$ denote respectively the sets of all bounded linear, weakly compact, compact, unconditionally converging, and $p$-convergent operators from $X$ to $Y$. Classical results of Kalton are used to study the complementability of the spaces $W(X,Y)$ and $K(X,Y)$ in the space $C_p(X,Y)$, and of $C_p(X,Y)$ in $U(X,Y)$ and $L(X,Y)$.

For Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, let $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ denote the space of all $w^{*}-w$ continuous compact operators from $X^{*}$ to $Y$ endowed with the operator norm. A Banach space $X$ has the $wGP$ property if every Grothendieck subset of $X$ is relatively weakly compact. In this paper we study Banach spaces with property $wGP$. We investigate whether the spaces $K_{w^{*}}(X^{*},Y)$ and $X{\otimes }_{ϵ}Y$ have the $wGP$ property, when $X$ and $Y$ have the $wGP$ property.

We investigate whether the projective tensor product of two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ has the reciprocal Dunford–Pettis property of order $p$, $1\le p<\infty$, when $X$ and $Y$ have the respective property.

We study weakly precompact sets and operators. We show that an operator is weakly precompact if and only if its adjoint is pseudo weakly compact. We study Banach spaces with the $p$-$L$-limited${}^{*}$ and the $p$-(SR${}^{*}$) properties and characterize these classes of Banach spaces in terms of $p$-$L$-limited${}^{*}$ and $p$-Right${}^{*}$ subsets. The $p$-$L$-limited${}^{*}$ property is studied in some spaces of operators.

We introduce the definition of $p$-limited completely continuous operators, $1\le p<\infty$. The question of whether a space of operators has the property that every $p$-limited subset is relative compact when the dual of the domain and the codomain have this property is studied using $p$-limited completely continuous evaluation operators.

We give sufficient conditions implying that the projective tensor product of two Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ has the $p$-sequentially Right and the $p$-$L$-limited properties, $1\le p<\infty$.

The Dunford-Pettis property and the Gelfand-Phillips property are studied in the context of spaces of operators. The idea of L-sets is used to give a dual characterization of the Dunford-Pettis property.

A Banach space X has the Dunford-Pettis property (DPP) provided that every weakly compact operator T from X to any Banach space Y is completely continuous (or a Dunford-Pettis operator). It is known that X has the DPP if and only if every weakly null sequence in X is a Dunford-Pettis subset of X. In this paper we give equivalent characterizations of Banach spaces X such that every weakly Cauchy sequence in X is a limited subset of X. We prove that every operator T: X → c₀ is completely continuous...

Results of Emmanuele and Drewnowski are used to study the containment of c₀ in the space $K_{w*}(X*,Y)$, as well as the complementation of the space $K_{w*}(X*,Y)$ of w*-w compact operators in the space $L_{w*}(X*,Y)$ of w*-w operators from X* to Y.

Dunford-Pettis type properties are studied in individual Banach spaces as well as in spaces of operators. Bibasic sequences are used to characterize Banach spaces which fail to have the Dunford-Pettis property. The question of whether a space of operators has a Dunford-Pettis property when the dual of the domain and the codomain have the respective property is studied. The notion of an almost weakly compact operator plays a consistent and important role in this study.
