The dimension of Euclidean subspaces of quasi-normed spaces

The purpose of this article is to extend certain results which are known to hold for convex bodies to a class of non-convex bodies occurring in the theory of topological vector spaces. In the first section after this introduction an analogue of F. John's Theorem on the distance of a finite dimensional space from Euclidean space is obtained, and the result is shown to be best possible. The Dvoretzky-Rogers Lemma on the points of contact of a symmetric convex body with the ellipsoid of maximum volume contained within it is discussed for certain non-convex bodies. In the next part the Dvoretzky Theorem on the existence of ellipsoidal sections is shown to hold with the best possible estimate for the dimension of the sections. It follows from estimates involving cotype constants that the finite dimensional subspaces of Lp (0 < p < 1) possess large almost Hilbertian subspaces. The final section extends the theorem of S. Szarek relating the volume of a body to the existence of ellipsoidal sections.
