This is an announcement for the paper “Remarks on Banach spaces determined by their finite dimensional subspaces” by Karim Khanakihttps://arxiv.org/search?searchtype=author&query=Khanaki%2C+K.

Abstract: A separable Banach space $X$ is said to be finitely determined if for each separable space $Y$ such that $X$ is finitely representable (f.r.) in $Y$ and $Y$ is f.r. in $X$ then $Y$ is isometric to $X$. We provide a direct proof (without model theory) of the fact that every finitely determined space $X$ (isometrically) contains every (separable) space $Y$ which is finitely representable in $X$. We also point out how a similar argument proves the Krivine-Maurey theorem on stable Banach spaces, and give the model theoretic interpretations of some results.
