This is an announcement for the paper "No greedy bases for matrix spaces with mixed $\ell_p$ and $\ell_q$" by Gideon Schechtman.
Abstract: We show that non of the spaces $(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty\ell_p)_{\ell_q}$, $1\le p\not= q<\infty$, have a greedy basis. This solves a problem raised by Dilworth, Freeman, Odell and Schlumprect. Similarly, the spaces $(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty\ell_p)_{c_0}$, $1\le p<\infty$, and $(\bigoplus_{n=1}^\infty c_o)_{\ell_q}$, $1\le q<\infty$, do not have greedy bases. It follows from that and known results that a class of Besov spaces on $\R^n$ lack greedy bases as well.
