    Abstract

    For α an ordinal and 1<p<∞, we determine a necessary and sufficient condition for an ℓp-direct sum of operators to have Szlenk index not exceeding ωα. It follows from our results that the Szlenk index of an ℓp-direct sum of operators is determined in a natural way by the behaviour of the Ε-Szlenk indices of its summands. Our methods give similar results for c0-direct sums.
