An operator between Banach spaces is strictly singular if none of its restrictions to an infinite dimensional subspace is an isomorphic embedding. Strictly singular operators form a closed operator ideal containing the compact operators. ``Measuring'' the gap between strictly singular and compact operators on a Banach space, intensified in the last 20 years, plays an important role in understanding the structure of the space. The authors study possible extensions of a classical result of \textit{V. D. Mil'man} [Teor. Funkts., Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 10, 15--26 (1970; Zbl 0217.17201)], stating that any strictly singular operator on an \(L_p\)-space has a compact square. They consider the class of disjointly homogeneous Banach lattices, containing \(L_p\)-spaces, Lorentz function spaces, certain Orlicz function spaces, as well as Tsirelson-type spaces. A~Banach lattice is called disjointly homogeneous if every pair of its disjoint normalized sequences admit equivalent subsequences. If any disjoint normalized sequence has a subsequence equivalent to the unit vector basis of \(\ell_p\), then the lattice is called \(p\)-disjointly homogeneous. The authors present several positive results, in particular they prove that any strictly singular operator on a disjointly homogeneous Banach lattice with finite cotype and unconditional basis has a compact square, and provide certain mild conditions on a \(p\)-disjointly homogeneous lattice ensuring that any strictly singular operator on it has a compact square or is compact itself. The paper also contains some interesting examples of Banach lattices admitting strictly singular operators with no compact power, including certain Orlicz spaces and \(\ell_p\)-sums of \(p\)-convexified Tsirelson spaces.
