Some Thoughts on Approximation Properties
  We study some known approximation properties and introduce and investigate several new approximation properties, closely connected with different quasi-normed tensor products. These are the properties like the $AP_s$ or $AP_{(s,w)}$ for $s\in (0,1],$ which give us the possibility to identify the spaces of $s$-nuclear and $(s,w)$-nuclear operators with the corresponding tensor products (e.g., related to Lorentz sequence spaces). Some applications are given (in particular, we present not difficult proofs of the trace-formulas of Grothendieck-Lidskii type for several ideals of nuclear operators).
