Abstract
In this master thesis the proof of Lotz that Weak Lp spaces have the Grothendieck property is studied. The proof is slightly modified to be more explicit and easier to comprehend by introducing lemma’s to better separate different parts of the proof that more clearly reveal its structure. Furthermore, the more general Marcinkiewicz spaces are shown to sometimes have the Grothendieck property, using the sufficient conditions for a Banach lattice to have the Grothendieck property that Lotz derived to prove the Grothendieck property of Weak Lp spaces. For most of these conditions that together are sufficient, proving that Marcinkiewicz spaces satisfy them is done in a way very similar to the case of Weak Lp spaces. However, the proof of the (necessary) condition that the dual sometimes has order continuous norm does not allow for such a simple generalization and requires more work. Finally, by using some more recent results about the existence of symmetric functionals in the dual, the conditions that are given for the Grothendieck property of Marcinkiewicz spaces are shown to be necessary, and we thereby obtain a characterization of the Marcinkiewicz spaces that have the Grothendieck property
