Extract
The first infinite-dimensional reflexive Banach space X such that no subspace of X is isomorphic to c0 or lp, 1 ≦ p < ∞, was constructed by Tsirelson [8]. In fact, he showed that there exists a Banach space with an unconditional basis which contains no subsymmetric basic sequence and which contains no superreflexive subspace. Subsequently, Figiel and Johnson [4] gave an analytical description of the conjugate space T of Tsirelson's example and showed that there exists a reflexive Banach space with a symmetric basis which contains no superreflexive subspace; a uniformly convex space with a symmetric basis which contains no isomorphic copy of lp, 1 < p < ∞; and a uniformly convex space which contains no subsymmetric basic sequence and hence contains no isomorphic copy of lp, 1 < p < ∞. Recently, Altshuler [2] showed that there is a reflexive Banach space with a symmetric basis which has a unique symmetric basic sequence up to equivalence and which contains no isomorphic copy of lp, 1 < p < ∞.
