Abstract
The following notion of duality is studied: IfG is a contravariant functor on Ban, then\(G^x (X) = Nat(G,(X\widehat{\widehat \otimes }.)')\). We derive the following results: Thex-reflexive functors are exactly the maximal subfunctors ofH(.,A) with reflexiveA, G x isx-reflexive if and only ifG(I) is a reflexive Banach space,G x=(Ge)x, andG x(X′)=Ge(X)′ ifX′ has the metric approximation property. the last result has the consequence that for the tensor product of functors\(G\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\widehat \otimes } \\ {Ban} \\ \end{array} (X'\widehat{\widehat \otimes }.) = G_e (X)\) holds, ifX′ has the m.
