On the complemented subspaces of the Schreier spaces
Volume 141 / 2000
Abstract
It is shown that for every 1 ≤ ξ < ω, two subspaces of the Schreier space $X^ξ$ generated by subsequences $(e_{l_n}^{ξ})$ and $(e_{m_n}^{ξ})$, respectively, of the natural Schauder basis $(e_{n}^{ξ})$ of $X^ξ$ are isomorphic if and only if $(e_{l_n}^{ξ})$ and $(e_{m_n}^{ξ})$ are equivalent. Further, $X^ξ$ admits a continuum of mutually incomparable complemented subspaces spanned by subsequences of $(e_{n}^{ξ})$. It is also shown that there exists a complemented subspace spanned by a block basis of $(e_{n}^{ξ})$, which is not isomorphic to a subspace generated by a subsequence of $(e_n^ζ)$, for every $0 ≤ ζ ≤ ξ$. Finally, an example is given of an uncomplemented subspace of $X^ξ$ which is spanned by a block basis of $(e_{n}^{ξ})$.
