Banach spaces from a construction scheme

Abstract

We construct a Banach space $\mathcal X_\varepsilon$ with an uncountable $\varepsilon$-biorthogonal system but no uncountable $\tau$-biorthogonal system for $\tau<\varepsilon$. In particular the space have no uncountable biorthogonal system. We also construct a Banach space $\mathcal X_K$ with an uncountable $K$-basic sequence but no uncountable $K'$-basic sequence, for $1\leq K'<K$. A common feature of these examples is that they are both constructed by recursive amalgamations using a single construction scheme.
