Abstract
This chapter is devoted to the study of an embedding result due to Bourgain and Pisier [BP]. The main goal in the Bourgain–Pisier construction is to embed isometrically a given separable Banach space X into a separable L ∞-space Y (i.e., into a Banach space with prescribed local structure) in such a way that the quotient Y/X is “small.”
