Abstract

We show that the problem whether every 11-separably injective Banach space contains an isomorphic copy of \ell_\infty is undecidable. Namely, unlike under the continuum hypothesis, assuming Martin's axiom and the negation of the continuum hypothesis, there is an 11-separably injective Banach space of the form C(K)C(K) (which means that KK is an FF-space) without an isomorphic copy of \ell_\infty. This result is a consequence of our study of ω2\omega_2-subsets of tightly σ\sigma-filtered Boolean algebras introduced by Koppelberg for which we obtain some general principles useful when transferring properties of Boolean algebras to the level of Banach spaces.
