Abstract

We study density requirements on a given Banach space that guarantee the existence of subsymmetric basic sequences by extending Tsirelson's well-known space to larger index sets. We prove that for every cardinal a smaller than the first Mahlo cardinal there is a reflexive Banach space of density a without subsymmetric basic sequences. As for Tsirelson's space, our construction is based on the existence of a rich collection of homogeneous families on large index sets for which one can estimate the complexity on any given infinite set. This is used to describe detailedly the asymptotic structure of the spaces. The collections of families are of independent interest and their existence is proved inductively. The fundamental stepping up argument is the analysis of such collections of families on trees. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. (AU)
