Abstract:
If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are countable ordinals such that $\beta \neq 0$, denote by $tilde{T}_{\alpha ,\beta }$ the completion of $c_{00}$ with respect to the implicitly defined norm \[ \Vert x\Vert = \max \{\Vert x\Vert _{\mathcal {S}_{\alpha }},\frac {1}{2}\sup \sum _{i=1}^{j}\Vert E_{i}x\Vert \}, \] where the supremum is taken over all finite subsets $E_{1}$, โฆ, $E_{j}$ of $\mathbb {N}$ such that $E_{1}<\dots <E_{j}$ and $\{\min E_{1}, \dots , \min E_{j} \} \in \mathcal {S}$_{๐ฝ}$. It is shown that the Bourgain$โ^{1}$-index of$Tฬ_{๐ผ,๐ฝ}$is$๐^{๐ผ+๐ฝโ ๐}$. In particular, if$๐_{1}>๐ผ=๐^{๐ผ_{1}}โ m_{1}+โฆ+๐^{๐ผ_{n}}โ m_{n}$in Cantor normal form and$๐ผ_{n}$is not a limit ordinal, then there exists a Banach space whose$โ^{1}$-index is$๐^{๐ผ}$.$References
