(Annexe n° 1) Remarques sur l'exposé d'Assouad (n° XVI)
We provide a partial answer to the question of Vladimir Kadets whether given an ℱ-basis of a Banach space X, with respect to some filter ℱ ⊂ 𝒫(ℕ), the coordinate functionals are continuous. The answer is positive if the character of ℱ is less than 𝔭. In this case every ℱ-basis is an M-basis with brackets which are determined by an element of ℱ.
We investigate the existence of higher order ℓ¹-spreading models in subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces. For instance, we show that the following conditions are equivalent for the mixed Tsirelson space : (1) Every block subspace of X contains an -spreading model, (2) The Bourgain ℓ¹-index for any block subspace Y of X, (3) and every block subspace Y of X contains a block sequence equivalent to a subsequence of the unit vector basis of X. Moreover, if one (and hence all) of these conditions...
