On the lattice properties of almost L-weakly and almost M-weakly compact operators (Q2037308)

\textit{P. Meyer-Nieberg} [Math. Z. 138, 145--159 (1974; Zbl 0291.47020)] introduced L-weakly and M-weakly compact operators, which -- in contrast to the class of compact operators -- satisfy the domination property. In other words, if \(S,T:E\to F\) are operators between Banach lattices \(E\) and \(F\) such that \(0\le S\le T\) and \(T\) is L-weakly compact (respectively, M-weakly compact), then \(S\) is L-weakly compact (respectively, M-weakly compact). As a generalization, \textit{K. Bouras} et al. [Positivity 22, No. 5, 1433--1443 (2018; Zbl 1496.46005)] introduced the classes of almost L-weakly and almost M-weakly compact operators. The paper under review shows that that these two classes of operators also satisfy the domination property. Furthermore, conditions are given for the linear span of the positive almost L-weakly compact (respectively, almost M-weakly compact) operators to be a Dedekind complete Banach lattice under the regular norm and for those Banach lattice to have an order continuous norm.
