Reinov, O.I. On linear operators with p-nuclear adjoints. Abstract: If p\in [1,+\infty] and T is a linear operator from a Banach space X to a Banach space Y, with p-nuclear adjoint, then if one of the space X^* or Y^{***} has the approximation property, then T belongs to the ideal, dual to the ideal N_p of all p-nuclear operators. On the other hand, there is a Banach space W, such that W^{**} has a basis, and so that for each p\in [1,+\infty], p\neq 2, there exists an operator T: W^{**}\to W with p-nuclear adjoint, which is not in the ideal, dual to N_p, as an operator from W^{**} to W.
