Q-reflexive Banach spaces

Abstract: Let

E

be a Banach space and, for any positive integer

n

, let

c a l P (^{n} E)

denote the Banach space of continuous

n

-homogeneous polynomials on

E

. Davie and Gamelin showed that the natural extension mapping from

c a l P (^{n} E)

to

c a l P (^{n} E^{a s t a s t})

is an isometry into the latter space. Here, we investigate when there is a natural isomorphism between

c a l P (^{n} E)^{a s t a s t}

and

c a l P (^{n} E^{a s t a s t})

. Among other things, we show that if

E

satisfies: �reak (a) no spreading model built on a normalised weakly null sequence has a lower

q

-estimate for any

q < i n f t y,

(b)

E^{a s t}

has RNP, and (c)

E^{a s t}

has the approximation property, then

c a l P (^{n} E)

has RNP for every

n

. Moreover, if

E

satisfies (a) and is such that

E^{a s t a s t}

has both the RNP and the approximation property, then

c a l P (^{n} E)^{a s t a s t}

and

c a l P (^{n} E^{a s t a s t})

are isomorphic for every

n

. We also exhibit a quasi-reflexive Banach space

E

for which

c a l P (^{n} E)^{a s t a s t}

and

c a l P (^{n} E^{a s t a s t})

are isomorphic for every

n

. Related work has been done recently by (i) M. Gonzalez, (ii) M. Valdivia, and (iii) J. Jaramillo, A. Prieto, and I. Zalduendo.
