A stability property of a class of Banach spaces not containing a complemented copy of 𝑙₁

Abstract

Let <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper E"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">E</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> be a Banach space and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> be a compact Hausdorff space. The space <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper C left-parenthesis upper K comma upper E right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">C(K,E)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> will stand for the Banach space of all continuous <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper E"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">E</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-valued functions on <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> equipped with the sup norm. It is shown that the space <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper E"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">E</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> does not contain a complemented subspace isomorphic to <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="l 1"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>l</mml:mi> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">{l_1}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> if and only if <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper C left-parenthesis upper K comma upper E right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>E</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">C(K,E)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> has the same property.
