Abstract
Let and be Banach spaces such that the ideal of operators which factor through has codimension one in the Banach algebra of all bounded operators on , and suppose that contains a complemented subspace which is isomorphic to and that is isomorphic to for every complemented subspace of . Then the -group of is isomorphic to the additive group of integers. A number of Banach spaces which satisfy the above conditions are identified. Notably, it follows that , where denotes the Banach space of scalar-valued, continuous functions defined on the compact Hausdorff space of ordinals not exceeding the first uncountable ordinal , endowed with the order topology.
