Abstract:

The main result of this article is a rigidity result pertaining to the spreading model structure for Banach spaces coarsely embeddable into Tsirelson’s original space $T^*$. Every Banach space that is coarsely embeddable into $T^*$ must be reflexive, and all of its spreading models must be isomorphic to $c_0$. Several important consequences follow from our rigidity result. We obtain a coarse version of an influential theorem of Tsirelson: $T^*$ coarsely contains neither $c_0$ nor $\ell _p$ for $p\in [1,\infty )$. We show that there is no infinite-dimensional Banach space that coarsely embeds into every infinite-dimensional Banach space. In particular, we disprove the conjecture that the separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space coarsely embeds into every infinite-dimensional Banach space. The rigidity result follows from a new concentration inequality for Lipschitz maps on the infinite Hamming graphs that take values into $T^*$, and from the embeddability of the infinite Hamming graphs into Banach spaces that admit spreading models not isomorphic to $c_0$. Also, a purely metric characterization of finite dimensionality is obtained.
