Abstract

W. T. Gowers proved that every Lipschitz function from the unit sphere of the Banach space c0c_0 to R\mathbb{R} is oscilation stable. His proof uses a result about finite partitions of the set FINkFIN_k of finitely supported functions pp from N\mathbb{N} to {0,1,...,k}\{0,1,...,k\} with kk in Im(p)Im(p). Every known proof of this fact uses methods of topological dynamics on the space βN\beta\mathbb{N} of ultrafilters on N\mathbb{N}. We give a purely combinatorial proof of this result avoiding the use of ultrafilters.
