Abstract

We show that any Banach space contains a continuum of non isomorphic subspaces or a minimal subspace. We define an ergodic Banach space XX as a space such that E0E_0 Borel reduces to isomorphism on the set of subspaces of XX, and show that every Banach space is either ergodic or contains a subspace with an unconditional basis whichiscomplementablyuniversalforthefamilyofitsblocksubspaces.Wealsouseourmethodstogetuniformityresults;forexample,incombinationwitharesultofB.Maurey,V.MilmanandN.TomczakJaegermann,weshowthatanunconditionalbasisofaBanachspace,ofwhicheveryblocksubspaceiscomplemented,mustbeasymptotically which is complementably universal for the family of its block-subspaces. We also use our methods to get uniformity results; for example, in combination with a result of B. Maurey, V. Milman and N. Tomczak-Jaegermann, we show that an unconditional basis of a Banach space, of which every block-subspace is complemented, must be asymptotically c_0or or l_p$.
