Counterexamples in isometric theory of symmetric and greedy bases (Q6147066)

This paper is a continuation of decades of deep work done by the authors. This work in particular answers several questions in the literature including the ones from reference [\textit{F. Albiac} and \textit{J. L. Ansorena}, Rev. Mat. Complut. 30, No. 1, 13--24 (2017; Zbl 1368.46015)]. See the monograph [\textit{J. Lindenstrauss} and \textit{L. Tzafriri}, Classical Banach spaces I. Sequence spaces. Berlin-Heidelberg-New York: Springer-Verlag (1977; Zbl 0362.46013)] for various notions involved and structure theorems for basis of classical sequence spaces. For a basis \({\mathcal B}\) of a Banach space \(X\), for \(x \in X\), let \(\rho: N \rightarrow N\) be a natural greedy ordering. It is assumed that the corresponding TGA operators converge point-wise (which by a result from [\textit{P. Wojtaszczyk}, J. Approx. Theory 107, No. 2, 293--314 (2000; Zbl 0974.65053)] is equivalent to their uniform boundedness). Next important concept is Property\(A\), which when \({\mathcal B}\) is symmetric for largest coefficient to be a contraction (1-suppression unconditional). The authors show in Proposition 3.7 that if \({\mathcal B}\) is a total, \(1\)-symmetirc that fails to be 1-suppression unconditional, then \({\mathcal B}\) is equivalent to the canonical basis of \(\ell_1\).
