## The Mackey topology and complemented subspaces of Lorentz sequence spaces d(w,p) for $$0<p<1$$.(English)Zbl 0537.46012

In this paper we continue the study of Lorentz sequence spaces d(w,p), $$0<p<1$$, initiated by N. Popa [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 263, 431-456 (1981; Zbl 0461.46006)]. First we show that the Mackey completion of d(w,p) is equal to d(v,1) for some sequence v. Next, we prove that if $$d(w,p)\not\subset \ell_ 1$$, then it contains a complemented subspace isomorphic to $$\ell_ p$$. Finally, we show that if $$\lim_{n\to \infty}n^{-1}(\sum^{n}_{i=1}w_ i)^{1/p}=\infty,$$ then every complemented subspace of d(w,p) with symmetric basis is isomorphic to d(w,p).
