The HI extension of the standard HI spaces

A Hereditarily Indecomposable (HI) Banach space $X$ admits an HI extension if there exists an HI space $Z$ such that $X$ is isomorphic to a subspace $Y$ of $Z$ and $Z/Y$ is of infinite dimension. The problem whether or not every HI space admits an HI extension is attributed to A. Pelczynski. In this paper we present a method to define HI-extensions of the standard HI spaces, a class which includes the Gowers-Maurey space, asymptotic $\ell_{p}$-HI spaces and others.

The complete separation of the two finer asymptotic $\ell_{p}$ structures for $1\le p<\infty$

For $1\le p <\infty$, we present a reflexive Banach space $\mathfrak{X}^{(p)}_{\text{awi}}$, with an unconditional basis, that admits $\ell_p$ as a unique asymptotic model and does not contain any Asymptotic $\ell_p$ subspaces. D. Freeman, E. Odell, B. Sari and B. Zheng have shown that whenever a Banach space not containing $\ell_1$, in particular a reflexive Banach space, admits $c_0$ as a unique asymptotic model then it is Asymptotic $c_0$. These results provide a complete answer to a problem posed by L. Halbeisen and E. Odell and also complete a line of inquiry of the relation between specific asymptotic structures in Banach spaces, initiated in a previous paper by the first and fourth authors. For the definition of $\mathfrak{X}^{(p)}_{\text{awi}}$ we use saturation with asymptotically weakly incomparable constraints, a new method for defining a norm that remains small on a well-founded tree of vectors which penetrates any infinite dimensional closed subspace.

Small operator ideals on the Schlumprecht and Schreier spaces

We present a method of building operators on a Banach space $X$ that generate distinct operator ideals in the algebra $\mathscr{B}(X)$ of bounded linear operators on $X$. We show that there are exactly $2^\mathfrak{c}$ distinct small closed operator ideals on the Schlumprecht space and there is a chain of cardinality $\mathfrak{c}$ of small closed operator ideals on any Schreier space of finite order.

Unconditionally saturated Banach space with the scalar-plus-compact property

We construct a Bourgain-Delbaen $\mathscr{L}_\infty$-space $\mathfrak{X}_{Kus}$ with strongly heterogenous structure: any bounded operator on $\mathfrak{X}_{Kus}$ is a compact perturbation of a multiple of the identity, whereas the space $\mathfrak{X}_{Kus}$ is saturated with unconditional basic sequences.

Operators in tight by support Banach spaces

We answer the question of W.T. Gowers, giving an example of a bounded operator on a subspace of Gowers unconditional space which is not a strictly singular perturbation of a restriction of a diagonal operator. We make some observations on operators in arbitrary tight by support Banach space, showing in particular that in such space no two isomorphic infinitely dimensional subspaces form a direct sum.

A type (4) space in (FR)-classification

We present a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis which is quasi-minimal and tight by range, i.e. of type (4) in Ferenczi-Rosendal list within the framework of Gowers' classification program of Banach spaces. The space is an unconditional variant of the Gowers Hereditarily Indecomposable space with asymptotically unconditional basis.

Strictly singular non-compact operators on a class of HI spaces

We present a method for constructing bounded strictly singular non-compact operators on mixed Tsirelson spaces defined either by the families (A_n) or (S_n) of a certain class, as well as on spaces built on them, including hereditarily indecomposable spaces.

Isomorphisms and strictly singular operators in mixed Tsirelson spaces

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 $T_M[(\mc{S}_n,θ_n)]$ satisfying some regularity conditions and present results on existence of strictly singular non-compact operators on subspaces of mixed Tsirelson spaces defined by the families $(\mc{A}_n)_n$ and $(\mc{S}_n)_n$.

On the hereditary proximity to $\ell_1$

In the first part of the paper we present and discuss concepts of local and asymptotic hereditary proximity to \ell_1. The second part is devoted to a complete separation of the hereditary local proximity to \ell_1 from the asymptotic one. More precisely for every countable ordinal ξwe construct a separable reflexive space \mathfrak{X}_ξsuch that every infinite dimensional subspace of it has Bourgain \ell_1-index greater than ω^ξand the space itself has no \ell_1-spreading model. We also present a reflexive HI space admitting no \ell_p as a spreading model.

Quasiminimality in mixed Tsirelson spaces

We prove quasiminimality of the regular mixed Tsirelson spaces T[(S_n,θ_n)_n] with the sequence (\frac{θ_n}{θ^n})_n decreasing, where θ=\lim_n θ_n^{1/n}, and quasiminimality of all mixed Tsirelson spaces T[(A_n,θ_n)_n]. We prove that under certain assumptions on the sequence (θ_n)_n the dual spaces are quasiminimal.

Minimality properties of Tsirelson type spaces

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 further block (y_k) of (x_k) such that (y_k) is equivalent to a subsequence of (e_k). Sufficient conditions are given for a partly modified mixed Tsirelson space to be subsequentially minimal and connections with Bourgain's \ell^{1}-index are established. It is also shown that a large class of mixed Tsirelson spaces fails to be subsequentially minimal in a strong sense.

A classification of Tsirelson type spaces

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 indexes of the families F\_i, and theta\_i (0< i < r+1). We prove that there are unique countable ordinal alpha and 0<theta<1 such that every block sequence of T[(F\_i, theta\_i)\_{i=1}^r ] has a subsequence equivalent to a subsequence of the natural basis of the T(S\_{omega^alpha},theta). Finally, we give a complete criterion of comparison in between two of these mixed Tsirelson spaces.
