Spinu Dept. of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2G1, CANADA Abstract A Banach space X is called subprojective if any of its infinite dimensional sub- spaces contains a further infinite dimensional subspace complemented in X. This paper is devoted to systematic study of subprojectivity. We examine the stability of subprojectivity of Banach spaces under various operations, such us direct or twisted sums, tensor products, and forming spaces of operators. Along the way, we obtain new classes of subprojective spaces. Keywords: Banach space, complemented subspace, tensor product, space of operators. 1. Introduction and main results Throughout this note, all Banach spaces are assumed to be infinite dimen- sional, and subspaces, infinite dimensional and closed, until specified otherwise. A Banach space X is called subprojective if every subspace Y X contains a further subspace Z Y , complemented in X. This notion was introduced in [41], in order to study the (pre)adjoints of strictly singular operators. Recall that an operator T P BpX; Y q is strictly singular (T P SSpX; Y q) if T is not an isomorphism on any subspace of X. In particular, it was shown that, if Y is subprojective, and, for T P BpX; Y q, T ¦ P SSpY ¦;X¦q, then T P SSpX; Y q. Later, connections between subprojectivity and perturbation classes were discovered. More specifically, denote by Φ pX; Y q the set of upper semi-Fredholm operators { that is, operators with closed range, and finite dimensional kernel.
