Duality properties for b-AM-compact operators on Banach lattices (Q351638)

Let \(E,F\) be Banach lattices. A subset \(A\) of \(E\) is called \(b\)-order bounded if it is order bounded in the bidual \(E''\) of \(E\). \(E\) is said to have the \(b\)-property if each \(b\)-order bounded subset of \(E\) is also order bounded in \(E\). An operator \(T:E\rightarrow F\) is called \(b\)-AM compact if \(T\) maps each \(b\)-order bounded subset of \(E\) into a relatively compact subset of \(F\). The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions on \(E\) and \(F\) for the following to hold: (1) If \(T:E\rightarrow F\) is \(b\)-AM-compact, then \(T':F'\rightarrow E'\) is also \(b\)-AM-compact. (2) If \(T':F'\rightarrow E'\) is \(b\)-AM-compact, then \(T:E\rightarrow F\) is also \(b\)-AM-compact.
