Block bases of the Haar system as complemented subspaces of $L{\textunderscore }p$, $2<p<\infty $ (Q4779848)

\textit{P. F. X. Müller} and \textit{G. Schechtman} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 125, 2363-2371 (1997; Zbl 0883.46021)] have introduced a new natural (partial) ordering of the Haar system \(h_I(t)\) defined on dyadic intervals: \(h_I(t)\prec h_J(t)\) if either \(I\) and \(J\) are disjoint and \(I\) is to the left of \(J\), or \(I\) is contained in \(J\). Continuing investigations of this paper, the authors show that for every \(p>2\) there exists a constant \(K_p\) such that every finite block basis of the Haar system in the order \(\prec \) spans a space which is \(K_p\)-isomorphic to a \(K_p\)-complemented subspace of \(L_p\). The main step in the proof is the following Theorem: The span of \(\{a_ih_i\oplus b_ie_i\}_1^n\), where \(\{h_i\}\) is the Haar system in the usual order and \(\{e_i\}\) is the canonical basis of \(l_p\), is \(K_p\)-isomorphic to a \(K_p\)-complemented subspace of \(L_p, p>2\).
