A characterization of the duals of some echelon Köthe spaces of Banach valued functions.
Let Y be a Banach space, (Ω, Σ; μ) a probability space and φ a finite Young function. It is shown that the Y-valued Orlicz heart H φ(μ, Y) is isometrically isomorphic to the l-completed tensor product of the scalar-valued Orlicz heart Hφ(μ) and Y, in the sense of Chaney and Schaefer. As an application, a characterization is given of the equality of and in terms of the Radon-Nikodým property on Y. Convergence of norm-bounded martingales in H φ(μ, Y) is characterized in terms of the Radon-Nikodým...
We give a characterization of -weakly precompact sets in terms of uniform Gateaux differentiability of certain continuous convex functions.
An alternative to the Dunford-Pettis Property, called the DP1-property, is introduced. Its relationship to the Dunford-Pettis Property and other related properties is examined. It is shown that -direct sums of spaces with DP1 have DP1 if 1 ≤ p < ∞. It is also shown that for preduals of von Neumann algebras, DP1 is strictly weaker than the Dunford-Pettis Property, while for von Neumann algebras, the two properties are equivalent.

K. Tang. Let f be an Asplund function on a Banach space X. We prove that (i) the subspace Y := sp ∂f(X) has a projectional resolution of the identity, and that (ii) if X is weakly Lindel¨of determined, then X admits a projectional...
