The proof is based on an amalgamation approach involving a suitable combination of known results and techniques, including James's distortion theorem, Ramsey's combinatorial theorem, Brunel-Sucheston spreading model techniques and Dowling, Lennard and Turett's fixed point methodology employed in their characterization of weak compactness in $\\co$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-31T00:26:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fixed point property", "banach spaces isomorphic", "brunel-sucheston spreading model techniques", "turetts fixed point methodology", "ramseys combinatorial theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
