Abstract

top
We show that if X is an infinite-dimensional Banach space in which every finite-dimensional subspace is λ-complemented with λ ≤ 2 then X is (1 + C√(λ-1))-isomorphic to a Hilbert space, where C is an absolute constant; this estimate (up to the constant C) is best possible. This answers a question of Kadets and Mityagin from 1973. We also investigate the finite-dimensional versions of the theorem.
