Abstract: Let X be a Banach space. Then X is complemented in the bidual X∗∗ if and only if there exists an invariant mean ellinfty(G,X)oX with respect to a free Abelian group G of rank equal to the cardinality of X∗∗, and this happens if and only if there exists an invariant mean with respect to the additive group of X∗∗. This improves upon previous results due to Bustos Domecq =and the second-named author, where certain idempotent semigroups of cardinality equal to the cardinality of X∗∗ were considered, and answers a question of J.M.F. Castillo (private communication). En route to the proof of the main result, we endow the family of all finite-dimensional subspaces of an infinite-dimensional vector space with a structure of a free commutative monoid with the property that the product of two subspaces contains the respective subspaces, which is possibly of interest in itself.
