A Banach space X is asymptotically symmetric (a.s.) if for some C < ∞, for all m ∈ ℕ, for all bounded sequences ${\left(x_j^i\right)}_{j=1}^{\infty }\subseteq X$, 1 ≤ i ≤ m, for all permutations σ of 1,...,m and all ultrafilters ₁,...,ₘ on ℕ, $li{m}_{n₁,₁}...li{m}_{nₘ,ₘ}\left|\right|{\sum }_{i=1}^m{x}_{n_i}^i\left|\right|\le Cli{m}_{n_{\sigma \left(1\right)}{,}_{\sigma \left(1\right)}}...li{m}_{n_{\sigma \left(m\right)}{,}_{\sigma \left(m\right)}}\left|\right|{\sum }_{i=1}^m{x}_{n_i}^i\left|\right|$. We investigate a.s. Banach spaces and several natural variations. X is weakly a.s. (w.a.s.) if the defining condition holds when restricted to weakly convergent sequences ${\left(x_j^i\right)}_{j=1}^{\infty }$. Moreover, X is w.n.a.s. if we restrict the condition further to normalized weakly null sequences. If X is a.s. then all spreading...

In 1969 Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal showed that if a Banach space is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of an $L_p$-space, then it is either an $L_p$-space or isomorphic to a Hilbert space. This is the motivation of this paper where we study non-Hilbertian complemented operator subspaces of non-commutative $L_p$-spaces and show that this class is much richer than in the commutative case. We investigate the local properties of some new classes of operator spaces for every 2 < p < ∞ which can be considered...
