Subprojective Banach spaces (Q481996)

A Banach space \(X\) is said to be subprojective if any of its infinite-dimensional subspaces contains a further infinite-dimensional subspace complemented in \(X\). The paper under review presents nice results on stability type properties concerning subprojectivity. Here are some of them. Let \(E, X_1, X_2, \ldots\) be Banach spaces with \(E\) possessing a \(1\)-unconditional basis. Then \((\sum_n X_n)_E\) is subprojective if and only if each of the spaces \(E, X_1, X_2, \ldots\) is subprojective. The subprojectivity is not a three-space property. Every subprojective space contains a subspace with an unconditional basis. There is a Banach space with an unconditional basis and without a subprojective subspace. The space of all bounded linear operators on an infinite-dimensional Banach space is not subprojective. Some results concern tensor products and twisted sums of subprojective Banach spaces.
