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...

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 $L(X,Y^{*})=K(X,Y^{*})$.

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...

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.

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 $L(X,Y)$.

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, $1\le p<\infty$.

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.

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.
