[Author] O. I. Reinov [Title] Approximation properties $AP_s$ and $p$-nuclear operators (the case $1\le s\le \infty$) [AMS Subj-class] 47B10 Hilbert--Schmidt operators, trace class operators, nuclear operators, p-summing operators, etc. [Abstract] Banach spaces with (or without) the approximation properties $AP_s$, $1\le s\le \infty$, are studied, --- in connection with a question under which conditions on Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ each operator $T: X\to Y$ with $p$-nuclear second adjoint is $p$-nuclear itself. We give some sufficient conditions for the positive answer to this question. In a sense these conditions are necessary and the corresponding counterexamples are obtained in the strongest form. In particular, it is shown that there is a separable Banach space $V$ with a basis such that for every $p\in [1,\infty]$ one can find a non-$p$-nuclear operator in $V$ with $p$-nuclear second adjoint. In previous examples of such a kind corresponding spaces did not have even the approximation property. [Comments] AmSTeX, 22 pp., Russian [Contact e-mail] orein@orein.usr.pu.ru
