A Banach space is called prime if each infinite-dimensional complemented
subspace of
is isomorphic to
(Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri 1977).
Pełczyński (1960) proved that (the Banach space
of all complex sequences converging to zero together with the supremum
norm) and
for
(the space of all complex sequences
such that
) are prime. The L-infinity-space
of all bounded complex sequences
is also prime (Lindenstrauss 1967).
