On certain equivalent norms on Tsirelson's space

Functional Analysis 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Tsirelson's space TT is known to be distortable but it is open as to whether or not TT is arbitrarily distortable. For nNn\in {\Bbb N} the norm n\|\cdot\|_n of the Tsirelson space T(Sn,2n)T(S_n,2^{-n}) is equivalent to the standard norm on TT. We prove there exists K<K<\infty so that for all nn, n\|\cdot\|_n does not KK distort any subspace YY of TT.
