AbstractThe notion of duality of functors is used to study and characterize spaces satisfying the Radon-Nikodym property. A theorem of equivalences concerning the Radon-Nikodym property is proved by categorical means; the classical Dunford-Pettis theorem is then deduced using an adjointness argument. The functorial properties of integral operators, compact operators, and weakly compact operators are discussed. It is shown that as an instance of Kan extension the weakly compact operators can be expressed as a certain direct limit of ordinary hom functors. Characterizations of spaces satisfying the Radon-Nikodym property are then given in terms of the agreement of dual functors of the functors mentioned above.
