Abstract: If Q is a surjection from L1(mu), mu sigma-finite, onto a Banach space containing c0 then (*) kerQ is uncomplemented in its second dual. If Q is a surjection from an calL1-space onto a Banach space containing uniformly ellninfty (n=1,2,dots) then (**) there exists a bounded linear operator from kerQ into a Hilbert space which is not 2-absolutely summing. Let S be an infinite Sidon set in the dual group Gamma of a compact abelian group G. Then for satisfies (*) and (**) hence LildeS1(G) is not an calL1-space and is not isomorphic to a Banach lattice.


An open question has been whether the closed linear subspace of \(L^1\) spanned by the complement of the Rademachers in the Walsh functions is (a) isomorphic to \(L^1\), or (b) an \({\mathcal L}_1\)-space. Answering in the negative questions (a) and (b), the authors show that if \(S\subset\Gamma\) is an infinite Sidon set, then the canonical image of \(L_{\overline{S}}^1 (G)\) is uncomplemented in its second dual and it is not an \({\mathcal L}_1\)-space. Several other results are given, for example, if \(S\) is a Sidon set, then \(L_{\overline{S}}^1 (G)\) has the Dunford-Pettis property.
