Semi-compactness of Null almost L-weakly and Null almost M-weakly compact operators (Q6548064)

Let \(E,F\) be real Banach lattices and \(T:E\to F\) a continuous linear operator. The operator \(T\) is called semi-compact if for every \(\epsilon>0\) there exists \(u\in F^+\) such that \(T(B_E)\subset [-u,u]+\epsilon B_E.\) The operator \(T\) is called null almost \(L\)-weakly (\(M\)-weakly) compact if \(f_n(T(x_n))\to 0\) for every sequence \((x_n)\) in \(E\) and every disjoint sequence \((f_n)\) in \(B_{F'}\) (resp. for every disjoint sequence \((x_n)\) in \(B_E\) and every weakly null sequence \((f_n)\) in \(F'\)). \par The authors examine the relations of these classes of operators with other classes (e.g. almost \(L\)-weakly and \(M\)-weakly compact, Dunford-Pettis operators, etc) compact in connection to the properties of Banach lattices \(E,F\) (e.g. having an order continuous norm).
