Operators into which factor through
Given a Banach space X and a subspace Y, the pair (X,Y) is said to have the approximation property (AP) provided there is a net of finite rank bounded linear operators on X all of which leave the subspace Y invariant such that the net converges uniformly on compact subsets of X to the identity operator. In particular, if the pair (X,Y) has the AP then X, Y, and the quotient space X/Y have the classical Grothendieck AP. The main result is an easy to apply dual formulation of this property.

We show that a Banach space X has the stochastic approximation property iff it has the stochasic basis property, and these properties are equivalent to the approximation property if X has nontrivial type. If for every Radon probability on X, there is an operator from an space into X whose range has probability one, then X is a quotient of an space. This extends a theorem of Sato’s which dealt with the case p = 2. In any infinite-dimensional Banach space X there is a compact set K so that for...
