Jan 3, 2016 at 4:16 comment added Ben W Oops about the quotient thing. I was thinking of about the duality between bounded below operators and surjective operators. So, the dual of an isomorphic embedding is a surjection. However, I forgot that we need it to be open, too, if we want a quotient map. Anyway, I have removed the quotient bit and clarified the $L_\infty$ bit.

Jan 3, 2016 at 4:04 comment added Yemon Choi When you say $\ell_\infty=L_\infty$ is the one on the left atomic and the one on the right continuous? Because if so, then the Banach spaces are isomorphic but not isometrically so
