Disjointly Strictly-Singular Inclusions between Rearrangement Invariant Spaces (Q4520437)

An operator \(T\) from a Banach lattice \(X\) to a Banach space \(Y\) is said to be Disjointly Strictly-Singular (DSS) if there is no disjoint sequence of non-null vectors \((x_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\) in \(X\) such that the restriction of \(T\) to the subspace \([(x_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}]\) spanned by the vectors \((x_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\) is an isomorphism. In this paper it is studied when inclusions between rearrangement invariant (r.i.) function spaces on \([0,1]\) are DSS operators in terms of their fundamental functions. Previously this has been considered by \textit{F. L. Hernández} and \textit{B. Rodríguez-Salinas} [Isr. J. Math. 68, No. 1, 27-55 (1989; Zbl 0689.46006)] and by \textit{A. García del Amo}, \textit{F. L. Hernández} and \textit{C. Ruiz} [Proc. R. Soc. Edinb., Sect. A 126, No. 5, 1011-1126 (1996; Zbl 0860.47024)] for the class of Orlicz spaces, and by \textit{S. V. Astashkin} [Mat. Zametki 65, No. 1, 3-14 (1999)] for the class of Lorentz and Marcinkiewicz spaces. Every r.i. function space \(E\) on \([0,1]\) verifies \(L^\infty\hookrightarrow E\hookrightarrow L^1\). If \(E\neq L^1\), \(L^\infty\), these inclusions are DSS. It is shown in this paper that these statements are characterizations of \(L^1\) and \(L^\infty\) among the r.i. function spaces on \([0,1]\).
