AI Thread Summary
Every Banach space can be represented as a quotient of l_1(I) for an appropriate indexing set I. This result is particularly well-known for separable Banach spaces, which can be shown to be quotients of l_1(ℕ). A proof for this specific case is available in Morrison's "Functional Analysis: An Introduction to Banach Space Theory." Additionally, other resources such as Lindenstrauss-Tzafriri, Dunford-Schwarz, or Megginson may provide proofs for the broader result. Exploring these texts will help clarify the relationship between Banach spaces and l_1 spaces.

I'm currently studying Intro to Tensor Products of Banach Spaces by Ryan. In it he makes the off-hand remark

We recall that every Banach space is a quotient of l_1(I) for some suitably chosen indexing set I.

Is it? Does anyone know what this result is called, or where I can find a proof of it?
Cheers in advance - O

The fact that a separable Banach space is a quotient of \ell_1(\mathbb{N}) is pretty well-known, and a proof can be found for example on pages 103-104 of
Morrison, Functional Analysis: An Introduction to Banach Space Theory. Wiley-Interscience, 2000.

I just scanned the proof and I think you can easily modify it to get the result you want. Or you can try Lindenstrauss-Tzafriri, Dunford-Schwarz or Megginson to see if they have a proof of the general result.
 
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
