Non-asymptotic $ell_1$ spaces with unique $ell_1$ asymptotic model


Abstract in English

A recent result of Freeman, Odell, Sari, and Zheng states that whenever a separable Banach space not containing $ell_1$ has the property that all asymptotic models generated by weakly null sequences are equivalent to the unit vector basis of $c_0$ then the space is Asymptotic $c_0$. We show that if we replace $c_0$ with $ell_1$ then this result is no longer true. Moreover, a stronger result of B. Maurey - H. P. Rosenthal type is presented, namely, there exists a reflexive Banach space with an unconditional basis admitting $ell_1$ as a unique asymptotic model whereas any subsequence of the basis generates a non-Asymptotic $ell_1$ subspace.
