Contemporary Mathematics ‘Volume 52, 1986 THE METRIC LINEAR SPACES L, FOR 0 < p< 1 by W. J. Kaito! 1, Introduction The study of the classical function spaces 1,(0

We also note that there exist quasi-Banach spaces X for which the algebra of endomorphisms L(x) = {A 1: A¢ R}. Such spaces are called rigid and a rigid subspace of 1, (0

¥Y is a non-zero compact operator, we may suppose C thas dense range. Then Y has trivial dual and so has Z~= XY; define 58 N. J. KALTON KE L(2) by K(uy) = (0,Cx). Note of course that K’= 0, s0 that Theoren 3 is not violated. In [24] X was constructed as a quotient space of the Hardy space _ when 0

0 is arbitrary we obtain the theorem. Im fact more than Theorem 5 is true. Theoren 6 [14]: Suppose 0
