ABSTRACT

We introduce the concept of strategically reproducible bases in Banach spaces and show that operators which have large diagonal with respect to strategically reproducible bases are factors of the identity. We give several examples of classical Banach spaces in which the Haar system is strategically reproducible: multi-parameter Lebesgue spaces, mixed-norm Hardy spaces and most significantly the space L1 . Moreover, we show the strategical reproducibility is inherited by unconditional sums.

1. Introduction In this paper, we address the following question: Given a Banach space X with a basis (ei )∞ i=1 , let T : X → X be an operator, whose matrix representation has a diagonal whose elements are uniformly bounded away from 0. We say in that case that T has a large diagonal. Is it possible to factor the identity operator on X through T ? The origin of this problem can be traced back to the work of Pelczy´ nski [24], who proved that every infinite-dimensional subspace of ℓp , 1 ≤ p < ∞ and c0 contains a further subspace which is complemented and isomorphic to the whole space. Closely related is the concept of primarity of a Banach space. Recall that X is called primary, if for every bounded projection P : X → X, either P (X) or (I − P )(X) is isomorphic to X. The connection between the primarity of a Banach space and the factorization problem is as follows: either P has large diagonal or I −P has large diagonal on a “large” subsequence of the basis (ei )∞ i=1 of the Banach space X. For example Enflo (according to [17]) proved primarity for X = Lp , 1 ≤ p < ∞, by showing that for every operator T : Lp → Lp , the identity operator factors either through T or I − T ; see also Alspach–Enflo– Odell [1]. Factorization and primarity theorems were obtained by Capon [4] for the mixed nor
