A Unified Construction Yielding Precisely Hilbert and James Sequences Spaces

Dušan Repovš, Pavel V. Semenov

Following R. C. James' approach, we shall define the Banach space

J(e) J ( e )
for each vector
e=(e_1,e_2,...,e_d) \in \Bbb{R}^d e = ( e 1 , e 2 , . . . , e d ) ∈ R d
with
e_1 \ne 0 e 1 ≠ 0
. The construction immediately implies that
J(1) J ( 1 )
coincides with the Hilbert space
l_2 l 2
and that
J(1;-1) J ( 1 ; − 1 )
coincides with the celebrated quasireflexive James space
J J
. The results of this paper show that, up to an isomorphism, there are only these two possibilities: (i)
J(e) J ( e )
is isomorphic to
l_2 l 2
if
e_1+e_2+...+e_d\ne 0 e 1 + e 2 + . . . + e d ≠ 0
, and (ii)
J(e) J ( e )
is isomorphic to
J J
if
e_1+e_2+...+e_d =0 e 1 + e 2 + . . . + e d = 0
. Such a dichotomy also holds for every separable Orlicz sequence space
