Distorting mixed Tsirelson spaces

Abstract: Any regular mixed Tsirelson space

T (h e t a_{n}, S_{n})_{N}

for which

f r a c h e t a_{n} h e t a^{n} o 0

, where

h e t a = l i m_{n} h e t a_{n}^{1 / n}

, is shown to be arbitrarily distortable. Certain asymptotic

e l l_{1}

constants for those and other mixed Tsirelson spaces are calculated. Also a combinatorial result on the Schreier families

(S_{a l p h a})_{a l p h a < o m e g a_{1}}

is proved and an application is given to show that for every Banach space

X

with a basis

(e_{i})

, the two

D e l t a

-spectrums

D e l t a (X)

and

D e l t a (X, (e_{i}))

coincide.
