Duality problem for disjointly homogeneous rearrangement invariant spaces (Q1732310)

This paper is motivated by a previous one of \textit{J. Flores} et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 266, No. 9, 5858--5885 (2014; Zbl 1315.46024)]. \par A Banach lattice $E$ is disjointly homogeneous (shortly DH) if two arbitrary normalized disjoint sequences from $E$ contain equivalent subsequences. \par For $1\leq p \leq \infty,$ $E$ is called $p$-disjointly homogeneous (shortly \(p\)-DH) if each normalized disjoint sequence has a subsequence equivalent in $E$ to the unit vector basis of $\ell_{p}$ ($c_{0}$ when $p=\infty$). \par Considering a question from the above mentioned paper, the author proves as the main result of the present paper: \par Theorem 2. For every $1< p < \infty$, there exists a \(p\)-DH reflexive r.i. space $X_{p}$ on $[0,1]$ such that its dual space $X_{p}^{\ast}$ is not DH. \par The proof uses interpolation theory, more precisely, the Lions-Peetre interpolation spaces. \par Another interesting result is \par Theorem 5. Let $X$ be a reflexive r.i. space on $(0,\infty)$. Then the following conditions are equivalent: \par (a) $X$ and $X^{\ast}$ are DH; \par (b) $X=L_{p}(0,\infty)$ for some $1< p< \infty$.
