A complete classification of the spaces of compact operators on   C([1,alpha], l_p) spaces, 1<p< infinity
  We complete the classification, up to isomorphism, of the spaces of compact operators on C([1, gamma], l_p) spaces, 1<p< infinity. In order to do this, we classify, up to isomorphism, the spaces of compact operators {\mathcal K}(E, F), where E= C([1, lambda], l_p) and F=C([1,xi], l_q) for arbitrary ordinals lambda and xi and 1< p \leq q< infinity.   More precisely, we prove that it is relatively consistent with ZFC that for any infinite ordinals lambda, mu, xi and eta the following statements are equivalent:   (a) {\mathcal K}(C([1, lambda], l_p), C([1, xi], l_q)) is isomorphic to {\mathcal K}(C([1, mu], l_p), C([1, eta], l_q)) .   (b) lambda and mu have the same cardinality and C([1,xi]) is isomorphic to C([1, eta]) or there exists an uncountable regular ordinal alpha and 1 \leq m, n < omega such that C([1, xi]) is isomorphic to C([1, alpha m]) and C([1,eta]) is isomorphic to C([1, alpha n]).   Moreover, in ZFC, if lambda and mu are finite ordinals and xi and eta are infinite ordinals then the statements (a) and (b') are equivalent.   (b') C([1,xi]) is isomorphic to C([1, eta]) or there exists an uncountable regular ordinal alpha and 1 \leq m, n \leq omega such that C([1, xi]) is isomorphic to C([1, alpha m]) and C([1,eta]) is isomorphic to C([1, alpha n]).
