The $p$-Gelfand Phillips Property in Spaces of Operators and Dunford-Pettis like sets

Abstract: The $p$-Gelfand Phillips property ($1\le p<\infty$) is studied in spaces of operators. Dunford - Pettis type like sets are studied in Banach spaces. We discuss Banach spaces $X$ with the property that every $p$-convergent operator $T:X\to Y$ is weakly compact, for every Banach space $Y$.
