Super-Reflexive Banach Spaces

Abstract

A super-reflexive Banach space is defined to be a Banach space B which has the property that no non-reflexive Banach space is finitely representable in B. Super-reflexivity is invariant under isomorphisms; a Banach space B is super-reflexive if and only if B * is super-reflexive. This concept has many equivalent formulations, some of which have been studied previously.
