The Kalton-Lancien Theorem Revisited: Maximal Regularity does not extrapolate

We give a new more explicit proof of a result by Kalton & Lancien stating that on each Banach space with an unconditional basis not isomorphic to a Hilbert space there exists a generator of a holomorphic semigroup which does not have maximal regularity. In particular, we show that there always exists a Schauder basis (f_m) such that the generator is a Schauder multiplier associated to the sequence (2^m). Moreover, we show that maximal regularity does not extrapolate: we construct consistent holomorphic semigroups (T_p(t)) on L^p for p in (1, \infty) which have maximal regularity if and only if p = 2. These assertions were both open problems. Our approach is completely different than the one of Kalton & Lancien. We use the characterization of maximal regularity by R-sectoriality for our construction.
