Unconditional and quasi-greedy bases in L-p with applications to Jacobi polynomials Fourier series

Abstract

We show that the decreasing rearrangement of the Fourier series with respect to the Jacobi polynomials for functions in L-p does not converge unless p = 2. As a by-product of our work on quasi-greedy bases in L-p(µ), we show that no normalized unconditional basis in L-p, p not equal 2, can be semi-normalized in L-q for q not equal p, thus extending a classical theorem of Kadets and Pelczynski from 1968.
