The weak\(^\ast\) density in operator ideals (Q2304291)

Let \(\alpha\) be a finitely generated tensor norm. The author investigates weak* densities of adjoint operators in the Banach operator ideal \(\mathcal{A}\) associated with \(\alpha\). Relations between \(\alpha\)-approximation properties and the weak* density of finite rank adjoint operators in \(\mathcal{A}\) are also investigated. In the final section, the author provides some Banach spaces \(Z\) satisfying that \(\left\{R^{\ast}:R\in\mathcal{L}\left( Z,Z\right)\right\}\) is not weak* dense in \(\mathcal{K}(Z^{\ast},Z^{\ast})\hookrightarrow(Z^{\ast}\widehat{\otimes}_{\pi}Z)^{\ast}\), where \(\mathcal{K}\) is the ideal of compact operators.
