Abstract: This paper is concerned with the isomorphic structure of the Banach space

e l l_{i} n f t y / c_{0}

and how it depends on combinatorial tools whose existence is consistent but not provable from the usual axioms of ZFC. Our main global result is that it is consistent that

e l l_{i} n f t y / c_{0}

does not have an orthogonal �reak

e l l_{i} n f t y

-decomposition that is, it is not of the form

e l l_{i} n f t y (X)

for any Banach space

X

. The main local result is that it is consistent that

e l l_{i} n f t y (c_{0} (m a t h f r a k c))

does not embed isomorphically into

e l l_{i} n f t y / c_{0}

, where

m a t h f r a k c

is the cardinality of the continuum, while

e l l_{i} n f t y

and

c_{0} (m a t h f r a k c)

always do embed quite canonically. This should be compared with the results of Drewnowski and Roberts that under the assumption of the continuum hypothesis

e l l_{i} n f t y / c_{0}

is isomorphic to its

e l l_{i} n f t y

-sum and in particular it contains an isomorphic copy of all Banach spaces of the form

e l l_{i} n f t y (X)

for any subspace

X

of

e l l_{i} n f t y / c_{0}

.
