Grothendieck-type subsets of Banach lattices (Q2236033)

The paper contains many concepts and results, so it is difficult to give a summary in few words. It contains five sections, where the first is a one page Introduction. In Section~2 almost Grothendieck sets in a Banach lattice \(E\) are defined as those sets \(A\) taken to a relatively weakly compact set in \(c_0\) for every disjoint operator \(T:E\to c_0\). A main result in this section is that \(B_E\) is almost Grothendieck iff no disjoint \(T:E\to c_0\) is onto (Theorem~2.7). In Section~3 almost Grothendieck operators are defined as a weakening of Grothendieck operators. Let \(X\) be a Banach space and \(E\) a Banach lattice. A characterization is that \(T:X\to E\) is almost Grothendieck iff \(T(B_X)\) is an almost Grothendieck set in~\(E\). Section~4 is called \textit{Polynomial considerations} while Section~5 is called \textit{Miscellania}. In particular, the relation to some Dunford-Pettis variants is discussed in Section~5.
