Weakly null sequences in L1

We construct a weakly null normalized sequence in L1 which has no unconditionally basic subsequence; in fact, the Haar system can be reproduced as a block basis of any subsequence. This solves a problem raised in the 1977 paper of B. Maurey and H. P. Rosenthal. Hosts: Denka Kutzarova and Zhong-Jin Ruan

Tuesday, May 11, 2004, 245 Altgeld Hall, 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
