Abstract

It is shown in this note that one can decide whether an nn-dimensional subspace of N\ell_\infty^N is isometrically isomorphic to n\ell_\infty^n by testing a finite number of determinental inequalities. As a byproduct, an elementary proof is provided for the fact that an nn-dimensional subspace of N\ell_\infty^N with projection constant equal to one must be isometrically isomorphic to n\ell_\infty^n.
