Some results on disjointly weakly compact sets

Abstract

We give an operator characterization of disjointly weakly compact sets and show that disjointly weakly compact sets coincide with reciprocal Dunford-Pettis sets. We compare disjointly weakly compact sets with almost Grothendieck sets, relatively compact sets, and weak reciprocal Dunford-Pettis sets. Consequently, we obtain new characterizations of the weak Grothendieck property, Schur property, and Banach lattices whose dual have an order continuous norm.
