Bases and complements in nonseparable Banach spaces. II (Q1083653): Difference between revisions

The paper contains many interesting results. Let us quote some of them. There exists a nonseparable Banach space X and a complemented subspace U of X such that no Markushevich basis (M-basis) of U can be extended to an M-basis of X. For X separable every M-basis of a subspace of X can be extended to an M-basis of X [see \textit{I. Singer}, Bases in Banach spaces. II (1981; Zbl 0467.46020) p. 231]. I. Singer (ibid. p. 832) asked if this result remains true for X nonseparable. Every Banach space contains a bibasic orthonormal sequence [solution to a problem of \textit{P. Terenzi}, Rend., Sci. Mat. Fis. Chin. Geol. 113, 343- 353 (1979; Zbl 0465.46005)]. Every Banach space with an M-basis is an RNPG-space (RNPG stands for Radon Nikodym property generated) (Proposition 4). The RNPG is not hereditary. There are no weakly compact operators from \(\ell_{\infty}\) to an RNPG-space [solution to a problem of \textit{J. Diestel}, Sém.
