We study the modified and boundedly modified mixed Tsirelson spaces $T_M[({\cal F}_{k_n},\theta_n)_{n=1}^{\infty }]$ and $T_{M(s)}[({\cal F}_{k_n},\theta_n)_{n=1}^{\infty }]$ respectively, defined by a subsequence $({\cal F}_{k_n})$ of the…

Suppose that (F_n)_{n=0}^{\infty} is a sequence of regular families of finite subsets of N such that F_0 contains all singletons, and (\theta _n)_{n=1}^{\infty} is a nonincreasing null sequence in (0,1). In this paper, we compute the…

We give criteria of total incomparability for certain classes of mixed Tsirelson spaces. We show that spaces of the form $T[(M_k,\theta_k)_{k=1}^{\ell}]$ with index $i(M_k)$ finite are either $c_0$ or $\ell_p$ saturated for some $p$ and we…

Any regular mixed Tsirelson space $T(\theta_n,S_n)_{\N}$ for which $\frac{\theta_n}{\theta^n} \to 0$, where $\theta=\lim_n \theta_n^{1/n}$, is shown to be arbitrarily distortable. Certain asymptotic $\ell_1$ constants for those and other…

Suppose that (F_n)_{n=1}^{\infty} is a sequence of regular families of finite subsets of N and (\theta_n)_{n=1}^{\infty} is a nonincreasing null sequence in (0,1). The mixed Tsirelson space T[(\theta_{n}, F_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}] is the…

To any pair ( M , theta ) where M is a family of finite subsets of N compact in the pointwise topology, and 0<theta < 1 , we associate a Tsirelson-type Banach space T_M^theta . It is shown that if the Cantor-Bendixson index of M is greater…

We study the family of isomorphisms and strictly singular operators in mixed Tsirelson spaces and their modified versions setting. We show sequential minimality of modified mixed Tsirelson spaces $T_M[(\mc{S}_n,\theta_n)]$ satisfying some…

We present results about the Cantor-Bendixson index of some subspaces of a uniform family F of finite subsets of natural numbers with respect to the lexicographic order topology. As a corollary of our results we get that for any…

We prove that for every countable ordinal $\xi$, the Tsirelson's space $T_\xi$ of order $\xi$, is naturally, i.e., via the identity, $3$-isomorphc to its modified version. For the first step, we prove that the Schreier family…

If \alpha and \beta are countable ordinals such that \beta \neq 0, denote by \tilde{T}_{\alpha,\beta} the completion of $c_{00}$ with respect to the implicitly defined norm ||x|| = max{||x||_{c_{0}}, 1/2 sup \sum_{i=1}^{j}||E_{i}x||}, where…

We investigate the existence of higher order \ell^1-spreading models in subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces. For instance, we show that the following conditions are equivalent for the mixed Tsirelson space X=T[(\theta…

The class of mixed Tsirelson spaces is an important source of examples in the recent development of the structure theory of Banach spaces. The related class of modified mixed Tsirelson spaces has also been well studied. In the present…

We extend existing results that characterize isometries on the Tsirelson-type spaces $T\big[\frac{1}{n}, \mathcal{S}_1\big]$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}, n\geq 2$) to the class $T[\theta, \mathcal{S}_{\alpha}]$ ($\theta \in \big(0, \frac{1}{2}\big]$,…

A space X is called an alpha-Toronto space if X is scattered of Cantor-Bendixson rank alpha and is homeomorphic to each of its subspaces of same rank. We answer a question of Steprans by constructing a countable alpha-Toronto space for each…

This article is a sequel to hep-th/9411050, q-alg/9412017. In Chapter 1 we associate with every Cartan matrix of finite type and a non-zero complex number $\zeta$ an abelian artinian category $\FS$. We call its objects {\em finite…

The goal of this paper is to show the following result: For every integer $n\geq 2$ there is a countable orderable group such that its space of orders is countable and has Cantor-Bendixson rank $n$. We show this by explicitly constructing a…

We study the class of first-countable Lindel\"of scattered spaces, or "FLS" spaces. While every $T_3$ FLS space is homeomorphic to a scattered subspace of $\mathbb Q$, the class of $T_2$ FLS spaces turns out to be surprisingly rich. Our…

We extend the existing results on surjective isometries of unit spheres in the Tsirelson space $T\left[\frac{1}{2}, S_1\right]$ to the class $T[\theta,S_{\alpha}]$ for any integer $\theta^{-1} \geq 2$ and $1 \leqslant \alpha < \omega_1$,…

We consider a new class of open covers and classes of spaces defined from them, called "iota spaces". We explore their relationship with epsilon-spaces (that is, spaces having all finite powers Lindelof) and countable network weight. An…

The factorizable vectors of a complete Boolean algebra of type I factors, acting on a separable Hilbert space, are shown to be total, resolving a conjecture of Araki and Woods. En route, the spectral theory of noise-type Boolean algebras of…
