Abstract
It is shown that if {y n} is a block of type I of a symmetric basis {x n} in a Banach spaceX, then {y n} is equivalent to {x n} if and only if the closed linear span [y n] of {y n} is complemented inX. The result is used to study the symmetric basic sequences of the dual space of a Lorentz sequence spaced(a, p). Let {x n,f n} be the unit vector basis ofd(a, p), for 1≤p<+∞. It is shown that every infinite-dimensional subspace ofd(a, p) (respectively, [f n] has a complemented subspace isomorphic tol p (respectively,l q, 1/p+1/q=1 when 1<p<+∞ andc 0 whenp=1) and numerous other results on complemented subspaces ofd(a, p) and [f n] are obtained. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions such that [f n] have exactly two non-equivalent symmetric basic sequences. Finally, we exhibit a Banach spaceX with symmetric basis {x n} such that every symmetric block basic sequence of {x n} spans a complemented subspace inX butX is not isomorphic to eitherc 0 orl p, 1≤p<+∞.
