On Banach spaces with the Gelfand-Phillips property (Q1093848)

A bounded subset A of a Banach space E is called limited if for every \(w^*\)-null sequence \((x^*_ n)\) in \(E^*\) we have \(x^*_ n(x)\to 0\) uniformly for \(x\in A\). If all limited subsets of E are relatively compact, then E is said to have the Gelfand-Phillips property, \(E\in (GP)\). The main results are the following: Theorem 2.2. If \(E^*\) has a norming weak*-conditionally compact subset, then \(E=(GP).\) Theorem 3.1. If \(E\in (GP)\) and \(F\in (GP)\), then so is their injective tensor product E\({\check \otimes}F.\) Theorem 4.2. If \(E^*\in (GP)\) and \(F\in (GP)\), then the space of all compact operators K(E,F) belongs to (GP). Theorem 5.1. If E has a Schauder decomposition \(\sum^{\infty}_{1}E_ n\), where each summand \(E_ n\) belongs to (GP), then \(E\in (GP)\).
