Abstract
Let λ>1. We prove that every separable Banach space E can be embedded isometrically into a separable ℒ λ∞ -spaceX such thatX/E has the RNP and the Schur property. This generalizes a result in [2]. Various choices ofE allow us to answer several questions raised in the literature. In particular, takingE = ℓ2, we obtain a ℒ λ∞ -spaceX with the RNP such that the projective tensor product\(X\hat \otimes X\) containsc 0 and hence fails the RNP. TakingE=L 1, we obtain a ℒ λ∞ -space failing the RNP but nevertheless not containingc 0.
