Geometric structure of Cesàro function spaces , where I = [0,1] and [0,∞), is investigated. Among other matters we present a description of their dual spaces, characterize the sets of all q ∈ [1,∞] such that contains isomorphic and complemented copies of -spaces, show that Cesàro function spaces fail the fixed point property, give a description of subspaces generated by Rademacher functions in spaces .
The structure of the closed linear span of the Rademacher functions in the Cesàro space is investigated. It is shown that every infinite-dimensional subspace of either is isomorphic to l₂ and uncomplemented in , or contains a subspace isomorphic to c₀ and complemented in . The situation is rather different in the p-convexification of if 1 < p < ∞.
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.
Many of the known complemented subspaces of have realizations as sequence spaces. In this paper a systematic approach to defining these spaces which uses partitions and weights is introduced. This approach gives a unified description of many well known complemented subspaces of . It is proved that the class of spaces with such norms is stable under (p,2) sums. By introducing the notion of an envelope norm, we obtain a necessary condition for a Banach sequence space with norm given by partitions...
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.
It is shown that every infinite-dimensional closed subspace of the Bourgain-Delbaen space has a subspace isomorphic to some .
We study the problem of the existence of a common algebraic complement for a pair of closed subspaces of a Banach space. We prove the following two characterizations: (1) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space with a common complement coincide with those pairs which are isomorphic to a pair of graphs of bounded linear operators between two other Banach spaces. (2) The pairs of subspaces of a Banach space X with a common complement coincide with those pairs for which there exists an involution...
We formulate and discuss a conjecture concerning lower bounds for norms of log-concave vectors, which generalizes the classical Sudakov minoration principle for Gaussian vectors. We show that the conjecture holds for some special classes of log-concave measures and some weaker forms of it are satisfied in the general case. We also present some applications based on chaining techniques.
