Jun 17, 2012 at 5:07 comment added Valerio Capraro @Kevin: The theorem you cite about complemented subspace is not by Lindenstrauss and Pelczynski, but by Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri. Precisely in Lindenstrauss, J. and Tzafriri, L. On the complemented subspaces problem, Israel J. Math. 9 (2) (1971) 263-269.

Jun 16, 2012 at 23:31 comment added Kevin Beanland On another note. I'm a bit surprised at how popular this question (and answer) is given that the solution is simply to quote a major theorem in Banach spaces that (as it happens) was part of the work that won Gowers the Fields. I suppose Banach Theory needs better PR.

Jun 16, 2012 at 23:16 comment added Kevin Beanland Thanks for clarifying. I should have assumed others would have corrected!
Jun 16, 2012 at 23:12 comment added Philip Brooker @Kevin: The OP's terminology is confusing and, I think, differs from standard Banach space terminology; what he calls an embedding is what I think you or I would call a complemented embedding. In particular, I presume that, in the OP's terminology, a left inverse for $J$ would be a map $K: Y\longrightarrow X$ such that $KJ$ is the identity on $X$, hence $JK$ is an idempotent operator on $Y$ with range isomorphic to $X$.
