Abstract:

Let $a,c\geq 0$ and let $B$ be a compact set of scalars. We introduce property $M^{\ast }(a,B,c)$ of Banach spaces $X$ by the requirement that \begin{equation*}\limsup _{\nu }\| ax_{\nu }^{\ast } +bx^{\ast }+cy^{\ast }\|\leq \limsup _{\nu }\| x_{\nu }^{\ast }\|\quad \forall b\in B \end{equation*} whenever $(x_{\nu }^{\ast })$ is a bounded net converging weak$^{\ast }$ to $x^{\ast }$ in $X^{\ast }$ and $\| y^{\ast }\|\leq \| x^{\ast }\|$. Using $M^{\ast }(a,B,c)$ with $\max |B|+c>1$, we characterize the existence of certain shrinking approximations of the identity (in particular, those related to $M$-, $u$-, and $h$-ideals of compact or approximable operators). We also show that the existence of these approximations of the identity is separably determined.
