Decomposition methods in Banach spaces via supplemented subspaces resembling Pełczyński's decomposition methods (Q2425797)

This paper concerns the Schroeder-Bernstein problem: If \(X\) and \(Y\) are Banach spaces, each of which is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of the other, are \(X\) and \(Y\) isomorphic? The answer is yes in some circumstances (for example if \(X\) is isomorphic to \(\ell_p(X)\) or \(X\sim X^2\) and \(Y\sim Y^2\) by Pełczyński's decomposition method) but not in general [\textit{W. T.~Gowers}, Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 28, No. 3, 297--304 (1996; Zbl 0863.46006)]. This paper continues the author's study on the subject in earlier papers. The results and arguments are technical. Among other results, we have the following. Let \(X\sim Y\oplus A\), \(Y\sim X\oplus B\), \(X\sim A^p\oplus B^q\) and \(Y\sim A^r \oplus B^s\). If \(p+q \geq1\) and \(r+s\geq 1\), then \(X\sim Y\) iff \(p-q-r+s\) is \(0\) or \(2\).
