On the tensor product of weakly compact operators (Q1195986)

Continuing the studies of \textit{J. Diestel} and \textit{B. Faires} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 58, 189-196 (1976; Zbl 0343.47015)] and \textit{E. Saksman} and \textit{H.-O. Tylli} [Math. Scand. 70, No. 1, 91-111 (1992; Zbl 0760.47019)], some conditions are given, which ensure the projective and injective tensor product of two weakly compact (w.c. for short) operators to be w.c. For example, the projective tensor roduct of two w.c. operators, one of whose adjoints is absolutely \(p\)-summing, is w.c. And, the inejctive tensor product of two w.c. operators on Pisier spaces is w.c.
