Proximity to _ 1 and distortion in asymptotic _ 1 spaces

Abstract: For an asymptotic

e l l_{1}

space

X

with a basis

(x_{i})

certain asymptotic

e l l_{1}

constants,

d e l t a_{a} l p h a (X)

are defined for

a l p h a < o m e g a_{1}

.

d e l t a_{a} l p h a (X)

measures the equivalence between all normalized block bases

(y_{i})_{i = 1}^{k}

of

(x_{i})

which are

S_{a} l p h a

-admissible with respect to

(x_{i})

(

S_{a} l p h a

is the

a l p h a^{t h}

-Schreier class of sets) and the unit vector basis of

e l l_{1}^{k}

. This leads to the concept of the delta spectrum of

X

,

D e l t a (X)

, which reflects the behavior of stabilized limits of

d e l t a_{a} l p h a (X)

. The analogues of these constants under all renormings of

X

are also defined and studied. We investigate

D e l t a (X)

both in general and for spaces of bounded distortion. We also prove several results on distorting the classical Tsirelson's space

T

and its relatives.
