Abstract

For a Banach space XX, a sequence of Banach spaces (Yn)(Y_n), and a Banach space ZZ with an unconditional basis, D. Alspach and B. Sari introduced a generalization of a Bourgain tree called a (nYn)Z(\oplus_n Y_n)_Z-tree in XX. These authors also prove that any separable Banach space admitting a (nYn)Z(\oplus_n Y_n)_Z-tree with order ω1\omega_1 admits a subspace isomorphic to (nYn)Z(\oplus_n Y_n)_Z. In this paper we give two new proofs of this result.
