Factoring operators through Hilbert space (Q757803)

Let E and F be Banach spaces. denote by L(E,F) the space of all bounded linear operators from E into F. \(\Gamma_ 2(E,F)\) is the set of factoring operators through a Hilbert space in L(E,F). The author shows that there are Banach spaces E and F with \(L(E,F)=\Gamma_ 2(E,F)\) while neither \(E'\) nor F has cotype 2. The cotype condition rules out the possibility that either E or F is Hilbertian.
