The Fixed Point Property inc0with an Equivalent Norm

Abstract

We study the fixed point property (FPP) in the Banach spacec0with the equivalent norm‖⋅‖D. The spacec0with this norm has the weak fixed point property. We prove that every infinite-dimensional subspace of(c0,‖⋅‖D)contains a complemented asymptotically isometric copy ofc0, and thus does not have the FPP, but there exist nonempty closed convex and bounded subsets of(c0,‖⋅‖D)which are notω-compact and do not contain asymptotically isometricc0—summing basis sequences. Then we define a family of sequences which are asymptotically isometric to different bases equivalent to the summing basis in the space(c0,‖⋅‖D),and we give some of its properties. We also prove that the dual space of(c0,‖⋅‖D)over the reals is the Bynum spacel1∞and that every infinite-dimensional subspace ofl1∞does not have the fixed point property.
