Oct 23, 2012 at 15:07 comment added user27480 Suppose $T\colon \ell_\infty \to \ell_1$ is an isomorphism onto it's image. Then $T^{-1}\colon \mathrm{Im} \; T \to \ell_1$ is onto, bounded and linear. Therefore $\mathrm{Im} \; T$ contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$. So I can see that $\ell_1$ is a complemented subspace of a (not complemented) subspace of $\ell_\infty$. I can't seem to close the gap. Is this the right approach ?
Oct 23, 2012 at 14:53 comment added user27480 right. Here's my approach. I found this result that says that $X^*$ has DPP iff $X$ has $DPP$ and doesn't contais a copy of $\ell_1$. So I'm trying to show that $\ell_\infty$ does not contain a copy of $\ell_1$ . I found a result that says that if $T\colon X \to \ell_1$ is bounded linear and onto then $X$ contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1$. It looked like I could use this to prove the result by contradiction, showing that $\ell_\infty$ has a complemented copy of $\ell_1$, which is absurd, since $\ell_\infty$ is prime. But I got stuck, I'm afraid I got the wrong road.

Oct 23, 2012 at 7:39 comment added Harald Hanche-Olsen Homework? Maybe you should take this question over to Math.SE instead. It is more likely to be positively received there. Also, when you do ask, say a bit about what approaches you have tried.
