%0 Journal Article %T Quantitative Grothendieck Property %A Hana Bendov¨˘ %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X A Banach space $X$ is Grothendieck if the weak and the weak$^*$ convergence of sequences in the dual space $X^*$ coincide. The space $\ell^\infty$ is a classical example of a Grothendieck space due to Grothendieck. We introduce a quantitative version of the Grothendieck property, we prove a quantitative version of the above-mentioned Grothendieck's result and we construct a Grothendieck space which is not quantitatively Grothendieck. We also establish the quantitative Grothendieck property of $L^\infty(\mu)$ for a $\sigma$-finite measure $\mu$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.4684v1
