Bicontractive projections and reordering of Lp-spaces

S. J. Bernau and Howard E. Lacey

Vol. 69 (1977), No. 2, 291–302
Abstract

On a Banach space we call a projection, P, bicontractive, if P1 and I P1. In this paper we completely describe bicontractive projections on an Lp-space (1 p < ) by showing that for every such bicontractive projection P, 2P I is an involutive linear isometry. Duality then gives the same result for pre-dual L1-spaces (in particular for M-spaces). The analysis of bicontractive projections is used, with p2, to describe all Banach lattices which are linearly isometric to an Lp-space.
