The results of the first part concern the existence of higher order l(1) spreading models in asymptotic l(1) Banach spaces. We sketch the proof of the fact that the mixed Tsirelson space T[(S-n, theta(n))(n)], theta(n+m) greater than or equal to theta(n)theta(m) and lim(n) theta(n)(1/n) = 1, admits an l(1)(w) spreading model in every block subspace. We also prove that if X is a Banach space with a basis, with the property that there exists a sequence (theta(n))(n) subset of (0, 1) with lim(n) theta(n)(1/n) = 1, such that, for every n is an element of N, parallel to Sigma(k=1)(m) x(k) parallel to greater than or equal to theta(n) Sigma(k=1)(m) parallel tox(k)parallel to for every S-n-admissable block sequence (x(k))(k=1)(m) of vectors in X, then there exists c > 0 such that every block subspace of X admits, for every n, an en 1 spreading model with constant c. Finally, we give an example of a Banach space which has the above property but fails to admit an l(1)(w) spreading model. In the second part we prove that under certain conditions on the double sequence (k(n),theta(n))(n) the modified mixed Tsirelson space T-M[(S-kn,theta(n))(n)] is arbitrarily distortable. Moreover, for an appropriate choice of (k(n),theta(n))(n), every block subspace admits an l(1)(w) spreading model. |
