## Characterization of some classes of operators on spaces of vector-valued continuous functions.(English)Zbl 0564.47013

Let $${\mathcal C}$$ denote either the class of weakly compact, Dunford-Pettis, Dieudonné or unconditionally converging operators between Banach spaces. Let C(K,E) be the Banach space of all continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space K, with values in a Banach space E, under the supremum norm. It is well known that if T is a linear bounded operator from C(K,E) into a Banach space F, belonging to $${\mathcal C}$$, then its representing measure m satisfies: (i) m has semi-variation continuous at $$\emptyset$$ and (ii) for every Borel set $$A\subset K$$, m(A) is an operator from E into F which belongs to $${\mathcal C}$$. These two conditions are by no means sufficient to characterize the operators between C(K,E) and F belonging to $${\mathcal C}$$. One of the main results of this paper is that conditions (i) and (ii) above characterize the operators from C(K,E) into F belonging to $${\mathcal C}$$, for every pair of Banach spaces E and F, if and only if K is a compact dispersed space. This result is sharpened in different senses, depending on the concrete class of operators considered.
