Complemented isometric copies of $L_{1}$ in dual Banach spaces (Q4539852)

This paper contains a result about the complemented isometric copies of \(\ell_{1}\) into a dual Banach space. The precise statement is as follows: Let \(X\) be a real or complex Banach space and \(K\geq 1\). Then the following are equivalent: (1) \(X\) contains \((1,K)\)-asymptotic copies of \((\ell_{1}\oplus\sum_{n}\ell_{\infty}^{n})_{1};\) (2) \(L_{1}\) is linearly isometric to a \(K\)-complemented subspace of \(X^{*};\) (3) \(C(\Delta)^{*}\) is linearly isometric to a \(K\)-complemented subspace of \(X^{*};\) (4) \(X^{*}\) contains an infinite set \(\Gamma\) such that \(\Gamma\) is isometrically equivalent to the usual basis of \(\ell_{1}(\Gamma),\) \([\Gamma]\) is \(K\)-complemented in \(X^{*}\), and \(\Gamma\) is dense-in-itself in the weak\(^{*}\) topology on \(X^{*}\). If \(X\) is separable, then \((1)-(4)\) are equivalent to: \((5)\) There exists a quotient map \(T:X\to C(\Delta)\) such that \(T^{*}(C(\Delta)^{*})\) is \(K\)-complemented in \(X^{*}\).
