On strongly WCG Banach spaces (Q1099034)

For a Banach space X, we consider a stronger version of the WCG property. We investigate the property that X is strongly weakly compactly generated (SWCG): i.e. there is a weakly compact subset K of X such that for each weakly compact subset L of X and \(\epsilon >0\), there is a positive integer n with L a subset of \(nK+\epsilon B\) (B the unit ball of X). Every SWCG space is weakly sequentially complete; however, an example due to Batt and Hiermeyer shows that a separable weakly sequentially complete space need not be SWCG. An example due to Pisier reveals that the injective and projective tensor product of two SWCG spaces need not be SWCG. A translation of the SWCG property to locally convex topologies on a Banach space reveals that the space of vector valued Bochner integrable functions \(L_ 1(\mu,X)\) is strongly \(\sigma (L_ 1(\mu,X)\), \(L_{\infty}(\mu,X\) *))-compactly generated if and only if the underlying \(\sigma\)-finite measure space is purely atomic and X is SWCG or X is reflexive.
