Embedding Orlicz Sequence Spaces into $C(\alpha)$

Abstract

Let $M$ be a non-degenerate Orlicz function such that there exist $\ep > 0$ and $0 < s < 1$ with $\su M(\ep s^i)/M(s^i) < \infty$. It is shown that the Orlicz sequence space $h_M$ is isomorphic to a subspace of $C(\om^\om)$. It is also shown that for any non-degenerate Orlicz function $M$, $h_M$ does not embed into $C(\al)$ for any $\al < \om^\om$.
