We define the ε-product of an εb-space by quotient bornological spaces and we show that if G is a Schwartz εb-space and E|F is a quotient bornological space, then their εc-product Gεc(E|F) defined in [2] is isomorphic to the quotient bornological space (GεE)|(GεF).
We show that n-dimensional spaces with maximal projection constants exist not only as subspaces of but also as subspaces of l₁. They are characterized by a rigid set of vector conditions. Nevertheless, we show that, in general, there are many non-isometric spaces with maximal projection constants. Several examples are discussed in detail.
Every frame in Hilbert space contains a subsequence equivalent to an orthogonal basis. If a frame is n-dimensional then this subsequence has length (1 - ε)n. On the other hand, there is a frame which does not contain bases with brackets.
It is shown that if a Banach space X is not isomorphic to a Hilbert space then the spaces ℓ₂(X) and Rad(X) contain a subspace Z without local unconditional structure, and therefore without an unconditional basis. Moreover, if X is of cotype r < ∞, then a subspace Z of ℓ₂(X) can be constructed without local unconditional structure but with 2-dimensional unconditional decomposition, hence also with basis.
