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

The main objective of this paper is to give a simple proof for a larger class of spaces of the following theorem of Kalton and Werner. (a) X has property (M*), and (b) X has the metric compact approximation property Our main tool is a new property (wM*) which we show to be closely related to the unconditional metric approximation property.

Nous montrons que $h^2(𝔻,L^1\left(𝕋\right))$ admet une norme équivalente $LUR,$ ce qui répond négativement à une question de Dowling, Hu et Smith. Puis nous obtenons une propriété de stabilité des opérateurs de Radon-Nikodym analytique. Motivés par l’identification entre $h^p(𝔻,X)$ et $V{B}^p(𝕋,X)$ où $X$ est un espace de Banach, pour un groupe abélien compact métrisable $G$, son dual $\Gamma$, et ${\Lambda }_2\subset {\Lambda }_1\subset \Gamma$, nous prouvons que, si l’espace $V{B}_{{\Lambda }_1}^p(G,X)/V{B}_{{\Lambda }_2}^p(G,X)$ a la propriété $Kadec-Klee-{\beta }^{\prime }-\omega$, alors il coincïde avec $L_{{\Lambda }_1}^p(G,X)/L_{{\Lambda }_2}^p(G,X),$$...$

The notion of proximal normal structure is introduced and used to study mappings that are "relatively nonexpansive" in the sense that they are defined on the union of two subsets A and B of a Banach space X and satisfy ∥ Tx-Ty∥ ≤ ∥ x-y∥ for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B. It is shown that if A and B are weakly compact and convex, and if the pair (A,B) has proximal normal structure, then a relatively nonexpansive mapping T: A ∪ B → A ∪ B satisfying (i) T(A) ⊆ B and T(B) ⊆ A, has a proximal point in the sense that...

This paper introduces the following definition: a closed subspace Z of a Banach space E is pseudocomplemented in E if for every linear continuous operator u from Z to Z there is a linear continuous extension ū of u from E to E. For instance, every subspace complemented in E is pseudocomplemented in E. First, the pseudocomplemented hilbertian subspaces of $L¹$ are characterized and, in $L^p$ with p in [1, + ∞[, classes of closed subspaces in which the notions of complementation and pseudocomplementation...

We characterize the reflexivity of the completed projective tensor products $X{\tilde{\otimes }}_{\pi }Y$ of Banach spaces in terms of certain approximative biorthogonal systems.
