Some remarks on regular Banach spaces

Abstract

A Banach space E is said to be regular if every bounded linear operator from E into E′ is weakly compact. This property was studied in [7, 9] under the name Property (w). In [7], using James type spaces as constructed in [4], examples were given of regular Banach spaces which fail to have weakly sequentially complete duals, answering a question raised in [9]. In this paper, we present some more results concerning the regularity of James type spaces.
