In this survey article the author considers hereditary properties between two Banach spaces X, Y and the space K(X,Y) of compact linear operators from X into Y. Topics as reflexivity, the Radon-Nikodym property, weak compactness, extreme points of the unit ball are treated. Some proofs are given and for each result the author quotes the source. Thus this paper is a good guide for a reader who is interested in properties of spaces of compact operators.
