We show that a (semi-normalized) basis in a Banach space is quasi-greedy with quasi-greedy constant equal to 1 if and only if it is unconditional with suppression-unconditional constant equal to 1.
The main results in this paper contribute to bring to the fore novel underlying connections between the contemporary concepts and methods springing from greedy approximation theory with the well established techniques of classical Banach…
The following dichotomy is established for a normalized weakly null sequence in a Banach space: Either every subsequence admits a convex block subsequence equivalent to the unit vector basis of c, the Banach space of null sequences under…
We discuss optimal constants of certain projections on subsequences of weakly null sequences. Positive results yield constants arbitrarily close to $1$ for Schreier type projections, and arbitrarily close to $1$ for Elton type projections…
Elton's near unconditionality and quasi-greediness for largest coefficients are two properties of bases that made their appearance in functional analysis from very different areas of research. One of our aims in this note is to show that,…
We construct for each $0<p\le 1$ an infinite collection of subspaces of $\ell_p$ that extend the example from [J. Lindenstrauss, On a certain subspace of $\ell_{1}$, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S\'er. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys. 12 (1964),…
We show that, for quasi-greedy bases in Hilbert spaces, the associated conditionality constants grow at most as $O(\log N)^{1-\epsilon}$, for some $\epsilon>0$, answering a question by Temlyakov. We show the optimality of this bound with an…
We introduce an unconditional concept of almost squareness in order to provide a partial negative answer to the problem of existence of any dual almost square Banach space. We also take advantage of this notion to provide some criterion of…
It is known that for a conditional quasi-greedy basis $\mathcal{B}$ in a Banach space $\mathbb{X}$, the associated sequence $(k_{m}[\mathcal{B}])_{m=1}^{\infty}$ of its conditionality constants verifies the estimate…
The list of known Banach spaces whose linear geometry determines the (nonlinear) democracy functions of their quasi-greedy bases to the extent that they end up being democratic, reduces to $c_0$, $\ell_2$, and all separable…
Let $X$ be a Banach space, $(e_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be its basis, and $S_\alpha$ be a Schreier family of order alpha. We introduce Condition A which is a weaker version of the Continuum Hypothesis. Granted Condition A, we show that if the basis…
For a conditional quasi-greedy basis $\mathcal{B}$ in a Banach space the associated conditionality constants $k_{m}[\mathcal{B}]$ verify the estimate $k_{m}[\mathcal{B}]=\mathcal{O}(\log m)$. Answering a question raised by Temlyakov, Yang,…

For two countable ordinals $\alpha$ and $\beta$, a basis of a Banach space $X$ is said to be $(\alpha, \beta)$-quasi-greedy if it is 1) quasi-greedy, 2) $\mathcal{S}_\alpha$-unconditional but not $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha+1}$-unconditional, and…
We prove that if $X$ is a quasi-normed space which possesses an infinite countable dimensional subspace with a separating dual, then it admits a strictly weaker Hausdorff vector topology. Such a topology is constructed explicitly. As an…
We give elementary proofs of the theorems mentioned in the title. Our methods rely on a simple version of Ramsey theory and a martingale difference lemma. They also provide quantitative results: if a Banach space contains $\ell^{1}$ only…
In [3] it was proved that almost-greedy and semi-greedy bases are equivalent in the context of Banach spaces with finite cotype. In this paper we show this equivalence for general Banach spaces.
We introduce and study the notion of weak semi-greedy systems -which is inspired in the concepts of semi-greedy and Branch semi-greedy systems and weak thresholding sets-, and prove that in the context Markushevich bases in infinite…
Let $\cal M$ be a semi-finite von Neumann algebra equipped with a distinguished faithful, normal, semi-finite trace $\tau$. We introduce the notion of equi-integrability in non-commutative spaces and show that if a rearrangement invariant…
A Banach space is said to be Grothendieck if weak and weak$^*$ convergent sequences in the dual space coincide. This notion has been quantificated by H. Bendov\'{a}. She has proved that $\ell_\infty$ has the quantitative Grothendieck…
