Summary: The operator space

$\L(L^1)$ , as a Banach lattice, can be decomposed into four bands: the Radon-Nikodym band, the Dunford-Pettis band, the Rosenthal band, and the Enflo band. Thus, each operator in

$\LL$ can be decomposed uniquely into the sum of four operators, so that each member of the decomposition has a characterization in terms of natural videly discussed operator-theoretic invariants in Banach space theory.
