This is an announcement for the paper “Non-superreflexivity of Garling sequence spaces and applications to the existence of special types of conditional bases” by Fernando Albiac<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Albiac%2C+F>, Jose L. Ansorena<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Ansorena%2C+J+L>, Stephen J. Dilworth<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Dilworth%2C+S+J>, Denka Kutzarova<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Kutzarova%2C+D>. Abstract: In this paper we settle in the negative the problem of the superreflexivity of Garling sequence spaces by showing that they contain a complemented subspace isomorphic to a non superreflexive mixed-norm sequence space. As a by-product of our work, we give applications of this result to the study of conditional Schauder bases and conditional almost greedy bases in this new class of Banach spaces.
