Abstract

A well-known application of the Ramsey Theorem in the Banach Space Theory is the proof of the fact that every normalized basic sequence has a subsequence which generates a spreading model (the Brunel-Sucheston Theorem). Based on this application, as an intermediate step, we can talk about the notion of (k,ε)(k,\varepsilon)-oscillation stable sequence, which will be described and analyzed more generally in this article. Indeed, we introduce the notion ((Bi)i=1k,ε)((\mathcal{B}_i)_{i=1}^k,\varepsilon)-block oscillation stable sequence where (Bi)i=1k(\mathcal{B}_i)_{i=1}^k is a finite sequence of barriers and using what we will call blocks of barriers. In particular, we prove that the Ramsey Theorem is equivalent to the statement ``for every finite sequence (Bi)i=1k(\mathcal{B}_i)_{i=1}^k of barriers, every ε>0\varepsilon>0 and every normalized sequence (xi)iN(x_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}} there is a subsequence (xi)iM(x_i)_{i\in M} that is ((BiP(M))i=1k,ε)((\mathcal{B}_i\cap\mathcal{P}(M))_{i=1}^k,\varepsilon)-block oscillation stable'', where P(M)\mathcal{P}(M) is the power set of the infinite set M. Besides, we introduce the (Bi)iN(\mathcal{B}_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}-block asymptotic model of a normalized basic sequence where (Bi)iN(\mathcal{B}_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}} is a sequence of barriers. These models are a generalization of the spreading models and are related to the ((Bi)i=1k,ε)((\mathcal{B}_i)_{i=1}^k,\varepsilon)-block oscillation stable sequences. We show that the Brunel-Sucheston is satisfied for the (Bi)iN(\mathcal{B}_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}-block asymptotic models, and we also prove that this result is equivalent to the Ramsey Theorem. The difference between our theorem and the Brunel-Sucheston Theorem is based on the number of different models that are obtained from the same normalized basic sequence through them. This and other observations about (Bi)iN(\mathcal{B}_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}-block asymptotic models are noted in an example at the end of the article.
