This is the abstract of the paper "An extension of Milman's
reverse Brunn-Minkowski inequality" by J. Bastero, J. Bernues, and A.
Pena.
The paper is typed in TeX. The paper may be downloaded

Abstract:The classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality
states that for  $A_1,A_2\subset\R^n$ compact,
$$ |A_1+A_2|^{1/n}\ge
|A_1|^{1/n}+|A_2|^{1/n}\eqno(1) $$ where
$|\cdot|$ denotes the Lebesgue measure on
$\R^n$.
In 1986 V. Milman {\bf [Mil 1]} discovered
that if $B_1$ and $B_2$ are
 balls there is always a relative position of
$B_1$ and $B_2$ for which a perturbed  inverse
of $(1)$ holds. More precisely:\lq\lq{\sl
There exists a constant $C>0$
 such that for all $n\in\N$ and any balls
$B_1,B_2\subset\R^n$ we can find a linear
transformation $u\colon\R^n\to\R^n$ with
$|{\rm det}(u)|=1$ and

$$|u(B_1)+B_2|^{1/n}\le
C(|B_1|^{1/n}+|B_2|^{1/n})"$$}

The aim of this paper is to extend this
Milman's result to a larger class of sets.

Abstract:Let $\Sigma$\ be a $\sigma$-algebra over $\Omega$, and let
$M(\Sigma)$\
denote the Banach space of complex measures.  Consider a representation
$T_t$\ for $t\in\Bbb R$\ acting on $M(\Sigma)$.  We show that under
certain,
very weak hypotheses, that if for a given
$\mu \in M(\Sigma)$\ and all $A \in \Sigma$\
the map $t \mapsto T_t \mu(A)$\ is in $H^\infty(\Bbb R)$, then it
follows
that the map $t \mapsto T_t \mu$\ is Bochner measurable.  The proof is
based
upon the idea of the Analytic Radon Nikod\'ym Property.

Straightforward applications yield a new and simpler proof
of Forelli's main result concerning analytic measures ({\it Analytic
and
quasi-invariant measures},
Acta Math., {\bf 118} (1967), 33--59).

Abstract:Let $X$ be a three dimensional real Banach space.
Ben\'itez and Otero \cite {BeO} showed that
if the unit ball of $X$ is
is an  intersection of two ellipsoids, then
every 2-polynomial defined in a linear subspace of $X$ can
be extended to $X$ preserving the norm.  In this article,
we extend this result to any finite dimensional Banach space.

This is the abstract of the paper "A uniformly convex
hereditarily
indecomposable Banach space" by V. Ferenczi.  The paper is

Abstract:A {\em hereditarily indecomposable (or H.I.)} Banach
space is
an infinite dimensional Banach space such that no
 subspace can be written as the topological sum of two
infinite
dimensional subspaces. As an easy consequence,
 no such space can contain an unconditional basic sequence.
This notion
was first introduced in 1993 by T.Gowers and B.Maurey, who
constructed
the first known example of a hereditarily indecomposable
space.
Gowers-Maurey space is reflexive, however it is not uniformly
convex.
In this article, we provide an example of a uniformly convex
hereditarily indecomposable space, using similar methods as
Gowers and
Maurey, and using the theory
 of complex interpolation for a family of Banach spaces of
Coifman,
Cwikel,
 Rochberg, Sagher and Weiss.

Abstract:A space $X$ is said to be hereditarily indecomposable if no
two (infinite dimensional) subspaces of $X$ are in a direct sum.
In this paper, we show that if $X$ is a complex hereditarily
indecomposable Banach space, then every operator from a
subspace $Y$ of $X$ to $X$ is of the form $\lambda I + S$,
where $I$ is the inclusion map and $S$ is strictly singular.

		   CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear Colleagues,
as newly appointed member of the editorial board of
ACTA MATHEMATICA UNIVERSITATIS COMENIANAE (published by Comenius
university in Bratislava) I would like to draw your attention to this
mathematical journal. The editors' policy is to strengthen and enlarge
the
amount of publications of first rate research papers in Modern
Functional
Analysis (with emphasis on Banach Space Theory and its interaction with
Probability Harmonic Analysis and Complex Function Theory) .

Due to substantial changes in the production methods
the waiting time for publication is very short (usually less than one
year).

Papers can be sent to the managing editor

	    J. SIRAN
	    FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS
	    COMENIUS UNIVERSITY
	    MLYNSKA DOLINA
	    SK 842 15 BRATISLAVA
	    SLOVAKIA

or to any member of the Editorial board.

	   Sincerely yours

		 VISITING POSITION FOR FALL 1995

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Bowling Green State
University has an opening for a Visiting Professor for Fall semester,
1995.  The position carries a salary of $20,000 (or thereabouts) and
has _no_ teaching responsibilities, although  our visitors are
expected to participate in departmental seminars and colloquia.

The Department would prefer senior candidates (Full Professors or
Associates with several years experience) specializing in an area
compatible with the current research interests of the Department
(Banach spaces, operator theory, function theory, PDE's).  This is
an ideal opportunity for someone on sabbatical leave in Fall '95.

Interested parties should contact me _immediately_!  We have less
than ten days to make our decision (it's a long story!), so time
is precious.  Send vita and 3 letters of reference to our chair:

Prof. John Hayden, Chair
Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics
Bowling Green State University
Bowling Green, OH  43403  USA
and direct questions, comments, and e-mail to me at:

lattice $X$ into an r.i. space $Y$.  For example we show
that if $Y$ is an r.i. space on $[0,\infty)$ which is
$p$-convex for some $p>2$ and has nontrivial concavity then
any Banach lattice $X$ which is $r$-convex for some $r>2$
and embeds into $Y$ must embed as a sublattice.  Similar
conclusions can be drawn under a variety of hypotheses on
$Y$; if $X$ is an r.i. space on $[0,1]$ one can replace the
hypotheses of $r$-convexity for some $r>2$ by $X\neq L_2.$

We also show that if $Y$ is an order-continuous Banach
lattice which contains no complemented sublattice
lattice-isomorphic to $\ell_2,$ $X$ is an order-continuous
Banach lattice so that $\ell_2$ is not complementably
lattice finitely representable in $X$ and $X$ is isomorphic
to a complemented subpace of $Y$ then $X$ is isomorphic to a
complemented sublattice of $Y^N$ for some integer $N.$

Abstract:We prove that, for any jointly stable random variables
$X_1, \dots, X_k$ with zero mean,
any $m<k,$ and any even continuous positive definite
functions $f$ and $g$ on $\Bbb R^m$ and $\Bbb R^{k-m},$
the random variables $f(X_1,\dots,X_m)$ and $g(X_{m+1},
\dots,X_k)$ are non-negatively correlated.
We also show another result that
is related to an old question of whether
$$P(\max_{1\le i\le k} |X_i|<t) \ge
P(\max_{1\le i\le m} |X_i|<t)
\ P(\max_{m+1\le i\le k} |X_i|<t)$$
where $X_1,\dots,X_k$ are jointly Gaussian
random variables with zero mean, and $m<k.$
We show that the quantity in the left-hand side
has a local minimum at the point where the random
variables $X_i$ and $X_j$ are independent for any
choice of $1\le i\le m$ and $m+1\le j\le k.$

Abstract:We extend ideas of Garling to consider the so called Hardy
martingales
in a more general setting of H^p theory of compact abelian groups with
ordered dual.  As a consequence, we obtain a new proof of a result of
Helson and Lowdenslager which generalizes Jensen's Inequality for H^1
functions.

Abstract:Let $\| \cdot \|$ be the euclidean norm on ${\bf R}^n$ and
$\gamma_n$ the
(standard)
Gaussian measure on ${\bf R}^n$ with density $(2 \pi )^{-n/2} e^{- \|
x\|^2
/2}$.  Let
$\vartheta$  ($ \simeq 1.3489795$) be defined by $\gamma_1 ([ -
\vartheta
/2,  \vartheta /2]) = 1/2$ and let $L$ be a
lattice in ${\bf R}^n$ generated by vectors of norm $\leq  \vartheta$.
Then, for any closed
convex set $V$ in ${\bf R}^n$ with $\gamma_n (V) \geq \frac{1}{2}$ and
for any
$a \in {\bf R}^n$, $(a +L) \cap V \neq \phi$.  The above statement can
be
viewed as a
``nonsymmetric'' version of Minkowski Theorem.

participants. On Wednesday evening and Thursday morning a list of
seminars
will be drawn up and posted, each with the name of a
proposer/coordinator.
Those interested in one or more of these seminars will be invited to
offer
to speak or otherwise participate. Since this is a "Workshop", a
typical
"talk" will consist of a presentation and discussion of open problems
and
possible directions for future development. Formal lectures, such as
given
in the morning, will not be appropriate.

		Anyone may propose and/or organize additional seminars
		on
any topic what-so-ever. We expect to have a sufficient number of class
rooms.


3.- HOW TO GET TO THE "FACULTAD DE MATEMATICAS"

		The Workshop will take place at the "Facultad de
Matematicas" at the new Campus outside the city.

 - THE WORKSHOP BUS
		This bus will take people from the hotels to the
University (Workshop) in the morning and take them back to the centre
of the city at the end of the day.

	MORNING: The  workshop bus will leave from "Jardin de
Floridablanca" across the street from Hotel Casa Emilio and very near
to
Hotel Pacoche at 9.20
a.m. and then will pass by "Plaza de Cetina" very near to Hotel Rincon
de
Pepe and Hotel Huertanica.

	EVENING: the  bus will return to the center of Murcia at the
	end of the
day, at a time to be specified.

 - PUBLIC BUSES

		Bus number 39 goes directly from the city to the
University. It leaves from "Plaza Fuensanta" across the  street from
the main entrance to the department store "El Corte Ingles" every 15
minutes between 7.45 a.m. and 10 a.m. and then every 30 minutes. Buses
return at the same intervals with the last bus leaving the Campus at
21.00.
Between 18.30 and 20.30 the intervals are 15 minutes.

 - PEOPLE USING THEIR OWN CARS

		People who wish to use their own car should take
		motorway
A-7 (E-15) in the direction to Alicante and exit at "Universidad". The
Campus is about 5 kilometers from the centre of Murcia.

Abstract:We prove that for every closed locally convex subspace $E$ of
$L_0$ and
for any continuous linear operator $T$ from $L_0$ to $L_0/E$ there is a
continuous linear operator $S$ from
$L_0$ to $L_0$ such that $T = QS$ where $Q$ is the quotient map from
$L_0$ to $L_0/E$.

Abstract:A  bounded  linear operator  between Banach spaces  is called
{\it
completely continuous} if it carries weakly   convergent sequences into
norm convergent  sequences.   Isolated is a universal operator  for the
class of  non-completely-continuous operators from $L_1$ into an
arbitrary Banach space, namely,  the   operator  from $L_1$ into
$\ell_\infty$  defined by
$$  T_0 (f) =\left( \int r_n f \, d\mu \right)_{n\ge 0} \  ,
$$   where $r_n$ is the $n^{\text{th}}$ Rademacher function.   It is
also shown that there does not exist  a  universal operator for the
class of  non-completely-continuous operators between two  arbitrary
Banach space.  The proof  uses the factorization theorem for weakly
compact  operators and a Tsirelson-like space.

Abstract:We show that any separable stable Banach space
can be represented as a group of isometries on a separable
reflexive
Banach space, which extends a result of S. Guerre and M. Levy.

As a consequence, we can then represent homeomorphically
its space of types.

Abstract:We prove a general result on complemented unconditional
basic sequences
in Banach lattices and apply it to give some new examples of
spaces
with unique unconditional basis.  We show that Tsirelson space
and
certain Nakano spaces have the unique unconditional bases.  We
also construct an example of a space with a unique unconditional
basis
with a complemented subspace failing to have a unique
unconditional
basis.

         The 1995 Summer Informal Regional Functional Analysis 
         Seminar will meet meet Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 
         August 11-13  in 317 Milner Hall at Texas A&M in
         College Station.       
                                                                            
SCHEDULE:  This will be announced in the third SUMIRFAS announcement, 
about one week before the conference.  The first talk on  Friday will be 
at 11 a.m. and the last talk on Sunday will end at 4 p.m.  Most participants 
will be arriving thursday and leaving monday.                            
                                                                    
SPEAKERS:  The main speakers will include  Hari Bercovici, Evareste Gine, 
Vladimir Koltchinskii, Joram Lindenstrauss,  Ted Odell,  Vern Paulsen,

of 20 minute talks.                          
                                                                            
HOUSING: Since this is summer graduation weekend at A&M, you will  
probably have difficulty making reservations directly.  We have 
reserved a bloc of rooms at Hampton Inn, which is close to campus.  
You will need to go through Jan Want, (jan.want at math.tamu.edu, 
(409) 845-3261,  FaX (409) 845-6028 ) to get one of these rooms.  
Please tell Jan whether you are requesting support, the type of 
accomodation you desire (smoking or nonsmoking),  which night(s) 
you need the room, and give her a roommate preference.  We expect 
to be able to cover housing, possibly in a double room, for most 
participants.  Preference will be given to participants who do not 
have other sources of support, such as sponsored research grants.   

IMPORTANT:  Our reserved block of rooms at the Hampton Inn will 
expire on July 28 in the sense that any rooms left that have not been 
booked for a workshop participant by that time will be released to the 
general public.  Those were the terms they gave us.  So if you wait, you 
may have a great deal of difficulty getting a room.  Contact  Dave Larson
 ( larson at math.tamu.edu )     about this if you have trouble,  and he or
Jan Want will try to assist you.  Apart from graduation, there is also 
another large convention in town during this time, so rooms are scarce.

BANQUET:  Srdjan Petrovic  (PETROVIC at IU-MATH.MATH.INDIANA.EDU) 
and Hari Bercovici  of Indiana University will be organizing a Banquet 
on Saturday, Aug 12 in honor of Carl Pearcys 60th birthday.   They will 
provide you with additional information about this.

WORKSHOP:   A number of  participants in our Informal Summer Workshop on 
Linear Analysis and Probability will be present at  A&M for varying periods of 
time during the summer preceeding  and following SUMIRFAS.

Abstract:
We prove the norm identity $\|\Id+T\| =1+\|T\|$, which is known as
the Daugavet equation, for weakly compact operators $T$ on natural
function spaces such as function algebras and $L^{1}$-predual spaces,
provided a non-discreteness assumption is met. We also consider
$c_{0}$-factorable operators and operators on
$C_{\Lambda}$-spaces.

provide you with additional information about this.

TALKS:    Transparencies, blackboard & chalk, or a combination.  The 50
min
talks, especially, should be in the style of a functional
analysis/probability
colloquium lecture, accessable to a somewhat wider audience than would
 be a technical seminar.

Abstract:The concept of Rademacher type $p$ ($1\leq p\leq2$) plays an
important
role in the local theory of Banach spaces.
In \cite{mas88} Mascioni
considers a weakening of this concept and shows that for a Banach
space $X$ weak Rademacher type $p$ implies Rademacher type $r$
for all
$r<p$.

As with Rademacher type $p$ and weak Rademacher type $p$, we
introduce
the concept of Haar type $p$ and weak Haar type $p$ by replacing
the
Rademacher functions by the Haar functions in the respective
definitions.
We show that weak Haar type $p$ implies Haar type $r$ for all
$r<p$.
This solves a problem left open by Pisier \cite{pis75}.

The method is to compare Haar type ideal norms related to
different
index sets.

Theorem 1.
Let $(E, \|\cdot\|_E) $ be a rearrangement invariant Banach
function space on the interval $[0, 1]$. If $E$ is isometric to
$\L_p [0, 1]$ for some $1\le p<\infty$, then $E$ coincides with
$\L_p [0, 1]$ and furthermore $\|\cdot\|_E = \lambda\|\cdot\|_{\L_p}$,
where $\lambda = \|{\bf 1}\|_E$.

J \subseteq I ,$ is a frame for its closed span. Secondly we give
a new characterization of Banach spaces
which do not have any subspace isomorphic to $c_0$. This result

Abstract:Aldroubi has shown how one can construct any frame $\gtu$
starting with one frame $\ftu $,using a bounded operator $U$ on
$l^2(N)$.
We study the overcompleteness of the frames in terms of properties of
$U$.
We also discuss perturbation of frames in the sense that two frames are
``close'' if a certain operator is compact. In this way we obtain an
equivalence relation with the property that members of the same
equivalence class have the same overcompleteness. On the other hand we
show
that perturbation in the Paley-Wiener sense does not have this
property. \\
Finally we construct a frame which is norm-bounded below, but which
does not
contain a Riesz basis.The construction is based on the delicate
difference
between the unconditional convergence of the frame representation, and
the
fact that
a convergent series in the frame elements need not  converge
unconditionally.

Abstract:Trees are very agreeable objects to work with, offering a
diversity
of behaviour within a structure that is sufficiently simple to admit
precise
analysis. Thus we are able to offer fairly satisfactory necessary and
sufficient conditions on a tree $\Upsilon $ for the existence of
equivalent
LUR or strictly convex norms on $\C_0(\Upsilon )$ and for norms with
the Kadec
Property. In particular, we show that for a {\sl finitely branching}
tree
$\Upsilon $ the space $\C_0(\Upsilon )$ admits a Kadec renorming. Since
some
finitely branching trees fail the condition for strictly convex
renormability,
we obtain an example of a Banach space that is Kadec renormable but not
strictly convexifiable. Consideration of specially tailored examples
enables
us to answer the ``three-space problem'' for strictly convex renorming:
there
exists a Banach space $X$ with a closed subspace $Y$ such that both $Y$
and
the quotient $X/Y$ admit strictly convex norms, while $X$ does not. We
also
solve a problem about the the property of mid-point locally uniform
convexity
(MLUR), showing that this does not imply LUR renormability.


In the case of smoothness properties of renormings, we give a necessary
and
sufficient condition for the existence of a Fr\'echet-smooth renorming,
which
turns out (rather surprisingly) to be the same as the condition for LUR
renormability. We also show that when $\C_0(\Upsilon )$
admits a Fr\'echet smooth norm it even admits a $\C^\infty$ norm. By
considering another specially tailored tree we obtain solution to the
quotient
problem for Fr\'echet differentiable renorming: there is a Banach space
$X$
with a Fr\'echet differentiable norm and a closed subspace $Y$ such
that the
quotient space $X/Y$ admits no Fr\'echet differentiable renorming. We
have few
results about G\^ateaux differentiability, though we do give an example
of a
space $X$ (as always, of the form $\C_0(\Upsilon )$) which is not
strictly
convexifiable even though it admits an equivalent norm with strictly
convex
dual norm. This seems to be the first example of a space with a
G\^ateaux
smooth norm which is not strictly convexifiable.

Finally we include some results that are not about renorming theory in
the
strict sense. The theorem of Ekeland and Lebourg already cited in this
introduction was in fact proved with  hypothesis weaker than the
existence of
a Fr\'echet smooth norm. They needed only a non-trivial Fr\'echet
differentiable function of bounded support, what is usually referred to
as a
``bump function''. A number of more recent results have been
established
subject to hypotheses of this type, including the interesting
variational results of Deville, Godefroy and Zizler [\DGZtwo]. Using a
non-linear version of our technique for the construction of Fr\'echet
differentiable norms, as presented in [\Haydonfive], we show that
$\C_0(\Upsilon )$ admits a $\C^\infty$ bump function for every tree
$\Upsilon
$, so that there certainly exist spaces that admit bump functions but
no good
norms. Finally, using another result from [\Haydonfive], we show that
$\C_0(\Upsilon )$ always admits $\C^\infty$ partitions of unity.

Abstract:In noncommutative probability theory independence can be based
on
free products instead of tensor products. This yields a highly
noncommutative
theory: free probability . Here we show that the classical Shannon's
entropy
power inequality has a counterpart for the free analogue of entropy  .

The free entropy  (introduced recently by the second named author),
consistently with Boltzmann's formula
$S=k\log W$, was defined via volumes of matricial microstates.
Proving the free entropy power inequality naturally becomes a
geometric question.

Restricting the Minkowski sum of two sets means to specify the set
of pairs of points which will  be added. The relevant inequality,
which holds when the set of "addable" points is sufficiently large,
differs from the Brunn-Minkowski inequality by having the exponent
$1/n$ replaced by $2/n$. Its proof uses the rearrangement
inequality of Brascamp-Lieb-L\"uttinger .

Abstract:Let $X$ be a Banach space and $(\Omega,\Sigma)$ be a measure
space. We provide a characterization of sequences in the space of
 $X$-valued countably additive measures on $\Omega,\Sigma)$ of bounded
variation that generate complemented copies of $\ell_1$.
 As application, we prove that if a dual Banach space $E^*$ has
Pe\l czy\'nski's property (V*) then so does the space of $E^*$-valued
countably additive measures with bounded variation.
 Another application, we show that for a Banach space $X$, the space
$\ell_\infty(X)$ contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$ if and only
if $X$ contains all $\ell_1^n$ uniformly complemented.

As application, we show that if $G$ is a compact metrizable abelian
group and $\Lambda$ is a Riesz subset of its dual then every countably
additive $\A^*$-valued measure with bounded variation and whose Fourier
transform is supported by $\Lambda$ has relatively compact range.
Extensions of the same result to symmetric spaces of measurable
operators are also
 presented.

Abstract:In this work, we introduce a new Asymptotic Norming Property
(ANP) which lies between the strongest and weakest of the
existing ones, and obtain isometric characterisations of it.
The corresponding w*-ANP turns out to be equivalent on the one
hand, to Property $(V)$ introduced by Sullivan, and to a ball
separation property on the other. We also study stability
properties of this new ANP and its w*-version.

Abstract:We obtain the following characterization of
Hilbert spaces. Let $E$ be a
Banach space whose unit sphere $S$ has a hyperplane of symmetry.
Then $E$ is a
Hilbert space iff any of the following two conditions is fulfilled:

a) the isometry group ${\rm Iso}\, E$ of $E$ has a dense orbit in S;

b) the identity component $G_0$ of the group ${\rm Iso}\, E$
endowed with
the strong operator topology acts topologically irreducible on $E$.

Some related results on infinite dimentional Coxeter groups generated
by
isometric reflexions are given which allow to analyse the structure of
isometry groups containing sufficiently many reflexions.

Abstract:Recently, E.\ Kirchberg [K1--2] revived the study of pairs of
$C^*$-algebras $A,B$ such that there is only one $C^*$-norm on the
algebraic tensor product $A\otimes B$, or equivalently such that $A
\otimes_{\rm min}B = A\otimes_{\rm max}B$. Recall that a $C^*$-algebra
is
called nuclear cf.\ [L, EL] if this happens for any $C^*$-algebra $B$.
Kirchberg [K1] constructed the first example of a non-nuclear
$C^*$-algebra
such that $A\otimes_{\rm min} A^{op} = A \otimes_{\rm max} A^{op}$. He
also
proved the following striking result [K2] for which we
give a very simple proof and which we extend.

\proclaim Theorem 0.1. {\bf (Kirchberg [K2]).} Let $F$ be
any free group and let $C^*(F)$ be the (full)
$C^*$-algebra of $F$, then $$C^*(F) \otimes_{\rm min} B(H)
= C^*(F) \otimes_{\rm max} B(H).$$

Abstract:Let $u_1,\ldots,u_n$ be unitary operators on a Hilbert space
$H$.
We study the norm
$$\left\|\sum^{i=n}_{i=1} u_i \otimes \bar u_i\right\|\leqno (1)$$
of the operator $\sum u_i \otimes \bar u_i$ acting on the Hilbertian
tensor
product $H\otimes_2 \overline H$. The main result of this note is

Theorem 1. For any $n$-tuple $u_1,\ldots, u_n$ of unitary
operators in $B(H)$, we have
$$2\sqrt{n-1} \le \left\|\sum^n_1 u_i \otimes \bar u_i\right\|.\leqno
(6)$$
In other words, the right side of (6) is minimal exactly when $u_i =
\lambda(g_i)$.

Abstract:Suppose that a real nonatomic function space on $[0,1]$ is
equipped
with two re\-arran\-ge\-ment-invariant norms $\|\cdot\|$ and
$|||\cdot|||$. We
study the question whether or not the fact that $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ is
isometric
to $(X,|||\cdot|||)$ implies that  $\|f\|= |||f|||$ for all $f$ in $X$.
We
show that in strictly monotone Orlicz and Lorentz spaces this is
equivalent to
asking whether or not the norms are defined by equal Orlicz functions,
resp.
Lorentz weights.

We show that the above implication holds true in most
rearrangement-invariant
spaces, but we also identify a class of Orlicz spaces where it fails.
We
provide a complete description of Orlicz functions $\varphi \neq\psi$
with the
property that $L_\varphi$ and $L_\psi$ are isometric.

which is convexly unconditional. Further, an Hierarchy of
summability methods is introduced and with this we give a complete
classification of the complexity of weakly null \sq s.
