The structure of Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński spaces
Lindenstrauss-Pełczyński (for short ℒ) spaces were introduced by these authors [Studia Math. 174 (2006)] as those Banach spaces X such that every operator from a subspace of c₀ into X can be extended to the whole c₀. Here we obtain the following structure theorem: a separable Banach space X is an ℒ-space if and only if every subspace of c₀ is placed in X in a unique position, up to automorphisms of X. This, in combination with a result of Kalton [New York J. Math. 13 (2007)], provides a negative...
