Let $X$ be a Banach space with an unconditional finite-dimensional Schauder decomposition $(E_n)$. We consider the general problem of characterizing conditions under which one can construct an unconditional basis for $X$ by forming an…

In this paper, we prove the following results. There exists a Banach space without basis which has a Schauder frame. There exists an universal Banach space $B$ (resp. $\tilde{B}$) with a basis (resp. an unconditional basis) such that, a…

We prove a structural property of the class of unconditionally saturated separable Banach spaces. We show, in particular, that for every analytic set $\aaa$, in the Effros-Borel space of subspaces of $C[0,1]$, of unconditionally saturated…

We construct a Banach space that does not contain any infinite unconditional basic sequence.

For every Banach space $Z$ with a shrinking unconditional basis satisfying upper $p$-estimates for some $p > 1$, an isomorphically polyhedral Banach space is constructed having an unconditional basis and admitting a quotient isomorphic to…

If a Banach space has an unconditional basis it either contains a continuum of non isomorphic subspaces or is isomorphic to its square and hyperplanes and satisfies other regularity properties. An HI Banach space contains a continuum of non…

A Banach space contains either a minimal subspace or a continuum of incomparable subspaces. General structure results for analytic equivalence relations are applied in the context of Banach spaces to show that if $E_0$ does not reduce to…

We prove three new dichotomies for Banach spaces \`a la W.T. Gowers' dichotomies. The three dichotomies characterise respectively the spaces having no minimal subspaces, having no subsequentially minimal basic sequences, and having no…

We analyse several examples of separable Banach spaces, some of them new, and relate them to several dichotomies obtained in the previous paper Banach spaces without minimal subspaces, by classifying them according to which side of the…

We show that any Banach space contains a continuum of non isomorphic subspaces or a minimal subspace. We define an ergodic Banach space $X$ as a space such that $E_0$ Borel reduces to isomorphism on the set of subspaces of $X$, and show…

We extend a theorem of Kato on similarity for sequences of projections in Hilbert spaces to the case of isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces. To this end we use $\ell_{\Psi}$-Hilbertian and $\infty$-Hilbertian…

In the present note we give a construction (based on a retractional argument) of a Schauder basis for the Lipschitz free space $\mathcal{F}(N)$, over a net $N$ in any separable infinite dimensional $\mathcal{L}_\infty$-space $X$. In…

Using the technique of Fra\"iss\'e theory, for every constant $K\ge 1$ we consruct a universal object in the class of Banach spaces with normalized $K$-suppression unconditional Schauder bases.

Orthonormal systems in commutative $L_2$ spaces can be used to classify Banach spaces. When the system is complete and satisfies certain norm condition the unconditionality with respect to the system characterizes Hilbert spaces. As a…

We prove a general result on complemented unconditional basic sequences in Banach lattices and apply it to give some new examples of spaces with unique unconditional basis. We show that Tsirelson space and certain Nakano spaces have the…

We prove that $L_2(\mathbb{R})$ contains a Schauder basis of non-negative functions. Similarly, $L_p(\mathbb{R})$ contains a Schauder basic sequence of non-negative functions such that $L_p(\mathbb{R})$ embeds into the closed span of the…

This article was initially motivated by our goal to show that the Banach space $\mathbb{G}$ constructed by Gowers in [W. T. Gowers, A solution to Banach's hyperplane problem, Bull. London Math. Soc. 26 (1994), no. 6, 523-530] to settle…

A Banach space E is c_0-saturated if every closed infinite dimensional subspace of E contains an isomorph of c_0. A c_0-saturated Banach space with an unconditional basis which has a quotient space isomorphic to l^2 is constructed.

We show that the classification problem for genus n Banach spaces can be reduced to the unconditionally primary case and that the critical case there is n=2. It is further shown that a genus n Banach space is unconditionally primary if and…

Several characterizations of weak cotype 2 and weak Hilbert spaces are given in terms of basis constants and other structural invariants of Banach spaces. For finite-dimensional spaces, characterizations depending on subspaces of fixed…
