Abstract:

Let $X$ be a Banach space, $(\Omega ,\Sigma ,\mu )$ a probability space and $K$ a weakly compact subset of $L^p(\mu ,X)$, $1\leq p<\infty$. The following question was posed by J. Diestel: is there a weakly compactly generated subspace $Y \subset X$ such that $K \subset L^p(\mu ,Y)$? We show that, in general, the answer is negative. We also prove that the answer is affirmative if either $\mu$ is separable or $X$ is weakly sequentially complete.
