The Rademacher sums are investigated in the BMO space on [0,1]. They span an uncomplemented subspace, in contrast to the dyadic $BM{O}_d$ space on [0,1], where they span a complemented subspace isomorphic to l₂. Moreover, structural properties of infinite-dimensional closed subspaces of the span of the Rademacher functions in BMO are studied and an analog of the Kadec-Pełczyński type alternative with l₂ and c₀ spaces is proved.

The Rademacher sums are investigated in the Cesàro spaces $Ce{s}_p$ (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) and in the weighted Korenblyum-Kreĭn-Levin spaces $K_{p,w}$ on [0,1]. They span l₂ space in $Ce{s}_p$ for any 1 ≤ p < ∞ and in $K_{p,w}$ if and only if the weight w is larger than $tlog{₂}^{p/2}(2/t)$ on (0,1). Moreover, the span of the Rademachers is not complemented in $Ce{s}_p$ for any 1 ≤ p < ∞ or in $K_{1,w}$ for any quasi-concave weight w. In the case when p > 1 and when w is such that the span of the Rademacher functions is isomorphic to l₂, this span is a complemented...

We study the behaviour of the Rademacher functions in the weighted Cesàro spaces Ces(ω,p), for ω(x) a weight and 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. In particular, the case when the Rademacher functions generate in Ces(ω,p) a closed linear subspace isomorphic to ℓ² is considered.

In the paper [5] L. Drewnowski and the author proved that if $X$ is a Banach space containing a copy of $c_0$ then $L_1(\mu ,X)$ is not complemented in $cabv(\mu ,X)$ and conjectured that the same result is true if $X$ is any Banach space without the Radon-Nikodym property. Recently, F. Freniche and L. Rodriguez-Piazza ([7]) disproved this conjecture, by showing that if $\mu$ is a finite measure and $X$ is a Banach lattice not containing copies of $c_0$, then $L_1(\mu ,X)$ is complemented in $cabv(\mu ,X)$. Here, we show that the complementability of $L_1(\mu ,X)$ in $cabv(\mu ,X)$ together...
