We address the question of the existence of complemented copies of $c_0(\\omega_1)$ in $\\hat\\bigotimes_{\\varepsilon}C(K)$ under the hypothesis that $C(K)$ contains an isomorphic copy of $c_0(\\omega_1)$. This is related to the results of E. Saab and P. Saab that $X\\hat\\otimes_\\varepsilon Y$ contains a complemented copy of $c_0$, if one of the infinite dimensional Banach spaces $X$ or $Y$ contains a copy of $c_0$ and of E. M. Galego and J. Hagler that it follows from Martin's Maximum that if $C(K)$ has density $\\omega_1$ and contains a copy of $c_0(\\omega_1)$, then $C(K\\times K)$ contains a complemented copy $c_0(\\omega_1)$. The main result is that under the assumption of $\\clubsuit$ for every $n\\in N$ there is a compact Hausdorff space $K_n$ of weight $\\omega_1$ such that $C(K)$ is Lindel\\\"of in the weak topology, $C(K_n)$ contains a copy of $c_0(\\omega_1)$, $C(K_n^n)$ does not contain a complemented copy of $c_0(\\omega_1)$ while $C(K_n^{n+1})$ does contain a complemented copy of $c_0(\\omega_1)$. This shows that additional set-theoretic assumptions in Galego and Hagler's nonseparable version of Cembrano and Freniche's theorem are necessary as well as clarifies in the negative direction the matter unsettled in a paper of Dow, Junnila and Pelant whether half-pcc Banach spaces must be weakly pcc.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-08T10:18:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complemented copy", "compact hausdorff space", "infinite dimensional banach spaces", "half-pcc banach spaces", "fold injective tensor product" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150101785C" } } }
