On a Gulisashvili question on scalarly measurable functions

Anatolij Plichko, Cracow University of Technology, Poland
Let \(X\) be a Banach space, \(X^*\) be its dual and \((\Omega, \Sigma)\) be a measurable space. A function \(\varphi :\Omega\to X\) is scalarly measurable if \(f\circ \varphi\) is measurable for every \(f\in X^*\). The \(\varphi\) is totally scalarly measurable if the set \[F=\{f\in X^*:f\circ \varphi\;\;\mbox{is measurable}\}\] is total, i.e. for every \(x\in X\), \( \, x\ne 0\), there exists \(f\in F\) such that \(f(x)\ne 0\). A Banach space \(X\) satisfies the \textit{property} \(\mathcal{D}\) if for every measurable space \((\Omega, \Sigma)\) every totally scalarly measurable function \(\varphi :\Omega\to X\) is, in fact, scalarly measurable.\medskip Property \(\mathcal{D}\) has been introduced by A. Gulisashvili [1] in connection with the Pettis integral in interpolation spaces. Gulisashvili has proved that the weak* angelicity of \(X^*\) implies the property \(\mathcal{D}\) of \(X\) and has risen the problem of the reverse implication. We answer the Gulisashvili problem in negative.
