Abstract

We prove that a Banach space X has the metric approximation property if and only if F(Y,X) is an ideal in L(Y,X) for all Banach spaces Y. Furthermore, X has the metric approximation property if and only if for all Banach spaces Y and all Hahn-Banach extension operators ϕ:XX there exists a Hahn-Banach extension operator Φ:F(Y,X)L(Y,X) such that Φ(xy)=(ϕx)y for all xX and all yY. We also prove that X has the approximation property if and only if for all Banach spaces Y and all Hahn-Banach extension operators ϕ:XX there exists a Hahn-Banach extension operator Φ:F(Y,X)W(Y,X) such that Φ(xy)=(ϕx)y for all xX and all yY, which in turn is equivalent to F(Y,ˆX) being an ideal in W(Y,ˆX) for all Banach spaces Y and all equivalent renormings ˆX of X.
