Spreading Models in Banach Space Theory

We extend the classical Brunel-Sucheston definition of the spreading model by introducing the $\mathcal{F}$-sequences $(x_s)_{s\in\mathcal{F}}$ in a Banach space and the plegma families in $\mathcal{F}$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is a regular thin family. The new concept yields a transfinite increasing hierarchy of classes of spreading sequences. We explore the corresponding theory and we present examples establishing this hierarchy and illustrating the limitation of the theory.

Higher Order Spreading Models

We introduce the higher order spreading models associated to a Banach space $X$. Their definition is based on $\ff$-sequences $(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with $\ff$ a regular thin family and the plegma families. We show that the higher order spreading models of a Banach space $X$ form an increasing transfinite hierarchy $(\mathcal{SM}_ξ(X))_{ξ<ω_1}$. Each $\mathcal{SM}_ξ(X)$ contains all spreading models generated by $\ff$-sequences $(x_s)_{s\in\ff}$ with order of $\ff$ equal to $ξ$. We also provide a study of the fundamental properties of the hierarchy.

Finite order spreading models

Extending the classical notion of the spreading model, the $k$-spreading models of a Banach space are introduced, for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$. The definition, which is based on the $k$-sequences and plegma families, reveals a new class of spreading sequences associated to a Banach space. Most of the results of the classical theory are stated and proved in the higher order setting. Moreover, new phenomena like the universality of the class of the 2-spreading models of $c_0$ and the composition property are established. As consequence, a problem concerning the structure of the $k$-iterated spreading models is solved.

A discretized approach to W.T. Gowers' game

We give an alternative proof of W. T. Gowers' theorem on block bases by reducing it to a discrete analogue on specific countable nets. We also give a Ramsey type result on k-tuples of block sequences in a normed linear space with a Schauder basis.

Hausdorff Measures and Functions of Bounded Quadratic Variation

To each function $f$ of bounded quadratic variation ($f\in V_2$) we associate a Hausdorff measure $μ_f$. We show that the map $f\toμ_f$ is locally Lipschitz and onto the positive cone of $\mathcal{M}[0,1]$. We use the measures $\{μ_f:f\in V_2\}$ to determine the structure of the subspaces of $V_2^0$ which either contain $c_0$ or the square stopping time space $S^2$.
