\(L\)-sets and property \((SR^*)\) in spaces of compact operators (Q331070)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space. A bounded set \(A \subset X^\ast\) is said to be an \(L\)-set if every weakly null sequence in \(X\) tends to zero uniformly on \(A\). In this paper, the author shows that this is equivalent to, for any weakly compact operator \(T: \ell_1 \rightarrow X\), \(T^\ast(A)\) being a relatively compact set. If a Banach space \(Y\) does not contain a copy of \(\ell_1\), then the same conclusion holds, where \(T: Y \rightarrow X\) is any bounded operator.
