To my family & friends Acknowledgement I would like to bring my deep acknowledgements to each and every person, institution and organisation for their efforts and supports in making Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences (ASSMS) a success in mathematical sciences. There is no doubt that the efforts of Professor A. D. Raza Choudary for ASSMS and mathematics of Pakistan are incredibly nice and historical and, I believe, they will be followed as examples. He has always been encouraging to the students in both their difficult and good times and helping them discover themselves. Oleg Reinov, is indeed one of the top specialist in his field \Geometry of Banach spaces" currently and I am very lucky to have him as my PhD supervisor. He has provided me a sincere constant support in learning mathematics since my first semester at ASSMS. It was not really easy to work while I was away for Germany but he gave me a proper time through Skype and rapid email correspondence regardless of limited resources and time zone difference and hence this thesis is a result. His support is unforgettable. I am also very lucky to work with Alan Huckleberry at Jacobs university Bremen for my better understanding and study of complex analysis in the study of flag domains. He is accessible at any time and is always willing to discuss interesting mathematics or I should say he is willing to make mathematics interesting in a friendly discussion. He has really shaped my mathematics and taught me how to think in a right way and ask right questions. I would like to thank Jacobs university Bremen for providing me an excellent library and resources to help me improve my mathematics and complete this project. Many thanks for my family and friends who left me alone for work when there was a need and they provided me a company when needed. I am thankful for their understanding.

We set out with a description of eigenvalue type of Nr for 0 < r ≤ 1 restricted to subspaces of Lp-spaces and the coincidence of nuclear r;p and spectral traces on them. We proceed and consider operator ideals Nr;p and N -where p and r are related, and describe its eigenvalue type with many different techniques -all of which are important in themselves. We observe strong relationships among eigenvalue type, nuclear and spectral traces and approximation properties of type (r; p); APr;p for short. We prove that if 0 < s ≤ 1 and 1=r = 1=s + j1=p − 1=2j, then every Banach space r;p X has APr;p ( and also AP ). The optimality of our results for the eigenvalue types is provided to show that there is no hope for any improvements in it. A negative answer to a question of A. Pietsch and A. Hinrichs is provided; they asked for the validity of the d inclusion Nr ⊂ Nr, where 0 < r < 1. Independently and without knowing that it was considered by E. Oja et al., we have replied with a negative answer to the open question posed by two Indian mathematicians Anil K. Karn and D. P. Sinha. They didn't know if there existed a Banach space without approximation property of type p for 1 ≤ p < 2.
