Weak sequential completeness in Banach \(C(K)\)-modules of finite multiplicity (Q2399563): Difference between revisions

It is well known that a Banach lattice is weakly sequentially complete if and only if it does not contain a subspace isomorphic to \(c_0\). For some generalizations, see, for instance, [\textit{L. Tzafriri}, J. Funct. Anal. 10, 1--18 (1972; Zbl 0234.46013)] or [\textit{J. Lindenstrauss} and \textit{L. Tzafriri}, Classical Banach spaces. 1: Sequence spaces. 2. Function spaces. Repr. of the 1977 and 1979 eds. Berlin: Springer-Verlag (1996; Zbl 0852.46015), Vol. 2, Theorem 1.c.7]. In this paper, the authors prove that that remains true for the Banach space \(X\) in the two following cases: {\parindent=0.8 cm \begin{itemize}\item[(1)] \(X\) is a finitely generated Banach \(C (K)\)-module; \item[(2)] there is a complete (in the Bade sense) Boolean algebra of projections \({\mathcal B}\) on \(X\) of finite multiplicity on \(X\). \end{itemize}} More precisely, they show the equivalence of the conditions: {\parindent=0.8 cm \begin{itemize}\item[(a)] \(X\) is weakly sequentially complete; \item[(b)] \(X\) does not contain a copy of \(c_0\); \item[(c)] no cyclic subspace of \(X\) contains a copy of \(c_0\); \item[(d)] each cyclic subspace of \(X\) is weakly sequentially complete. \end{itemize}} In case (1), a cyclic subspace \(X (x)\), \(x \in X\), is the closure of \(\{f x : f \in C (K)\}\) and \(X\) is finitely generated if there exist \(x_1, \dots, x_n \in X\) such that \(X (x_1) + \cdots + X (x_n)\) is dense in \(X\). In case (2), a cyclic subspace \(X (x)\) is the closed linear span of \(\{e x : e \in {\mathcal B}\}\), and \({\mathcal B}\) is of finite multiplicity if there is a family \(\{e_\alpha\}\) of disjoint elements of \({\mathcal B}\) such that \(\sup e_\alpha = 1\) and each \(e_\alpha X\) is \(n_\alpha\)-generated, for some integer \(n_\alpha\). If \({\mathcal B}\) is a complete Boolean algebra of projections on \(X\) and \(K\) is its hyperstonian representation, \(X\) becomes a Banach \(C (K)\)-module. The authors give examples for which \({\mathcal B}\) is of finite multiplicity on \(X\), but \(X\) is not finitely generated.
