Subspaces of $L_p$ that embed into $L_p(\mu)$ with $\mu$ finite

Abstract

Enflo and Rosenthal proved that $\ell_p(\aleph_1)$, $1 < p < 2$, does not (isomorphically) embed into $L_p(\mu)$ with $\mu$ a finite measure. We prove that if $X$ is a subspace of an $L_p$ space, $1< p < 2$, and $\ell_p(\aleph_1)$ does not embed into $X$, then $X$ embeds into $L_p(\mu)$ for some finite measure $\mu$.
