On Banach Spaces Without the Approximation Property †

2002

Abstract

1. If X is a Banach space of type p and of cotype q, then every its n-dimensional subspace is Cn 1/p−1/q-complemented in X (cf. [1]). Szankowski [2] has showed that if T(X) = sup{p: X of type p} ̸ = 2 or C(X) = inf{q: X of cotype q} ̸ = 2, then X has a subspace without the approximation property. Thus, if each subspace of X possesses the approximation property, then necessarily T(X) = C(X) = 2 and, therefore, all of finite dimensional subspaces in X are ”well ” complemented. Moreover, the space X need not be Hilbertian (or isomorphic to a Hilbert space). The examples of such spaces were constructed by Johnson [3]. In connection with the examples of Szankowski and Johnson, the natural questions arises: 1)if T(X) = C(X) = 2, then is it true that every subspace in X has the approximation property? 2) how ”well complemented ” may be the finite dimensional subspaces of a space without the approximation property: in particular, does there exist a space X without the approximation property...
