Abstract: We show that there exist infinite-dimensional extremely non-complex Banach spaces, i.e. spaces

X

such that the norm equality

| I d + T^{2} | = 1 + | T^{2} |

holds for every bounded linear operator

T : X l o n g r i g h t a r r o w X

. This answers in the positive Question 4.11 of [Kadets, Martin, Meri, Norm equalities for operators, emph{Indiana U. Math. J.} extbf{56} (2007), 2385--2411]. More concretely, we show that this is the case of some

C (K)

spaces with few operators constructed in [Koszmider, Banach spaces of continuous functions with few operators, emph{Math. Ann.} extbf{330} (2004), 151--183] and [Plebanek, A construction of a Banach space

C (K)

with few operators, emph{Topology Appl.} extbf{143} (2004), 217--239]. We also construct compact spaces

K_{1}

and

K_{2}

such that

C (K_{1})

and

C (K_{2})

are extremely non-complex,

C (K_{1})

contains a complemented copy of

C (2^{o} m e g a)

and

C (K_{2})

contains a (1-complemented) isometric copy of

e l l_{i} n f t y

.

Review text

A real Banach space \(X\) admits a complex structure if there is an operator \(S: X\to X\) with \(S^2=-\text{Id}\). Therefore, the worst that can happen in this respect is that every operator on \(X\) satisfies \[ \|\text{Id}+T^2\|=1+\| T^2\|; \] in this case, the authors say that \(X\) is extremely non-complex. In the present paper, the authors prove that some \(C(K)\)-spaces with ``few operators constructed by \textit{P.\,Koszmider} [Math.\ Ann.\ 330, No.\,1, 151--183 (2004; Zbl 1064.46009)] and \textit{G.\,Plebanek} [Topology Appl.\ 143, No.\,1--3, 217--239 (2004; Zbl 1064.46011)] are extremely non-complex. They also provide examples of extremely non-complex \(C(K)\)-spaces having various additional properties, like containing isometric copies of \(\ell_\infty\). Reviewer's remark: Recently, the authors have succeeded in constructing extremely non-complex Banach spaces that are not isomorphic to \(C(K)\)-spaces [``Isometries on extremely non-complex Banach spaces, preprint (2009; arXiv:0901.1512)].
