Abstract
We study strict u-ideals in Banach spaces. A Banach space $X$ is a strict u-ideal in its bidual when the canonical decomposition $X^{***} = X^* \oplus X^\perp $ is unconditional. We characterize Banach spaces which are strict u-ideals in their bidual and show that if $X$ is a strict u-ideal in a Banach space $Y$ then $X$ contains $c_0$. We also show that $\ell _\infty $ is not a u-ideal.
