In this article it is shown that for any Banach space E,L (l1,E) always contains uncountably many distinct A/-ideals that are closed subspaces of K(l1,E) and which are not complemented in L (l1,E) . Using standard duality arguments one obtains the result that infinitely many distinct subspaces of K(E, c0) are M-ideals in L(E, c0). In particular, for the case E = c0, this shows that the uniqueness conditions enjoyed by K(lp), p > 1, is not valid for E = c0. The results are obtained by utilizing the identification of L (l1,E) with the vector-valued sequence space lx(E) and to exploit natural decompositions of lx(E)’ afforded by a class of Lprojections on lx(E)’ induced by certain E'-valued vector measures.
