We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

We completely determine the ${\ell }_q$ and C(K) spaces which are isomorphic to a subspace of ${\ell }_p\otimes {̂}_{\pi }C\left(\alpha \right)$, the projective tensor product of the classical ${\ell }_p$ space, 1 ≤ p < ∞, and the space C(α) of all scalar valued continuous functions defined on the interval of ordinal numbers [1,α], α < ω₁. In order to do this, we extend a result of A. Tong concerning diagonal block matrices representing operators from ${\ell }_p$ to ℓ₁, 1 ≤ p < ∞. The first main theorem is an extension of a result of E. Oja and states that the only...
