Some stability properties of $c_0$-saturated spaces

Abstract

A Banach space is $c_0$-saturated if all of its closed infinite dimensional subspaces contain an isomorph of $c_0$. In this article, we study the stability of this property under the formation of direct sums and tensor products. Some of the results are: (1) a slightly more general version of the fact that $c_0$-sums of $c_0$-saturated spaces are $c_0$-saturated; (2) $C(K,E)$ is $c_0$-saturated if both $C(K)$ and $E$ are; (3) the tensor product $JH\tilde{\otimes}_\epsilon JH$ is $c_0$-saturated, where $JH$ is the James Hagler space.
