Abstract

In the previous chapters the spaces p (1 ≤ p < ) and c 0 played a pivotal role in the development of the theory. This suggests that we should ask when we can embed one of these spaces in an arbitrary Banach space. For c 0 we have a complete answer: c 0 embeds into X if and only if X contains a WUC series that is not unconditionally convergent (Theorem 2.4.11).
