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 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…

We prove quasiminimality of the regular mixed Tsirelson spaces T[(S_n,\theta_n)_n] with the sequence (\frac{\theta_n}{\theta^n})_n decreasing, where \theta=\lim_n \theta_n^{1/n}, and quasiminimality of all mixed Tsirelson spaces…

For an asymptotic $\ell_1$ space $X$ with a basis $(x_i)$ certain asymptotic $\ell_1$ constants, $\delta_\alpha (X)$ are defined for $\alpha <\omega_1$. $\delta_\alpha (X)$ measures the equivalence between all normalized block bases…

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…

Tsirelson's space $T$ is known to be distortable but it is open as to whether or not $T$ is arbitrarily distortable. For $n\in {\Bbb N}$ the norm $\|\cdot\|_n$ of the Tsirelson space $T(S_n,2^{-n})$ is equivalent to the standard norm on…

We give a complete classification of mixed Tsirelson spaces T[(F\_i, theta\_i)\_{i=1}^r ] for finitely many pairs of given compact and hereditary families F\_i of finite sets of integers and 0<theta\_i<1 in terms of the Cantor-Bendixson…

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 $T[\theta, \mathcal{S}_{\alpha}]$ ($\theta \in \big(0, \frac{1}{2}\big]$,…

In this work we construct a ``Tsirelson like Banach space'' which is arbitrarily distortable.

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 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…

The relation between different notions measuring proximity to $\ell_1$ and distortability of a Banach space is studied. The main result states that a Banach space, whose all subspaces have Bourgain $\ell_1$ index greater than…

In this note we show that every Banach space $X$ not containing $\ell_1^n$ uniformly and with unconditional basis contains an arbitrarily distortable subspace.

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…

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…

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…

It is proved that if a Banach space $X$ has a basis $(e_n)$ satisfying every spreading model of a normalized block basis of $(e_n)$ is 1-equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_1$ (respectively, $c_0$) then $X$ contains $\ell_1$…

In this paper, we study minimality properties of partly modified mixed Tsirelson spaces. A Banach space with a normalized basis (e_k) is said to be subsequentially minimal if for every normalized block basis (x_k) of (e_k), there is a…

Given a Banach space $X$ and a real number $\alpha\ge 1$, we write: (1) $D(X)\le\alpha$ if, for any locally finite metric space $A$, all finite subsets of which admit bilipschitz embeddings into $X$ with distortions $\le C$, the space $A$…

A new hierarchy of Banach spaces $T_k(d,\theta)$, $k$ any positive integer, is constructed using barriers in high dimensional Ellentuck spaces \cite{DobrinenJSL15} following the classical framework under which a Tsirelson type norm is…
