This is an announcement for the paper “On certain subspaces of $\ell_p$ for $0<p\le 1$ and their applications to conditional quasi-greedy bases in $p$-Banach spaces” by Fernando Albiac<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Albiac%2C+F>, José L. Ansorena<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Ansorena%2C+J+L>, Przemysław Wojtaszczyk<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Wojtaszczyk%2C+P>. Abstract: We construct for each $0<p\le 1$ an infinite collection of subspaces of $\ell_p$ that extend the example from [J. Lindenstrauss, On a certain subspace of $\ell_{1}$, Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. Sér. Sci. Math. Astronom. Phys. 12 (1964), 539-542] of a subspace of $\ell_{1}$ with no unconditional basis. The structure of this new class of $p$-Banach spaces is analyzed and some applications to the general theory of $\mathcal{L}_{p}$-spaces for $0<p<1$ are provided. The introduction of these spaces serves the purpose to develop the theory of conditional quasi-greedy bases in $p$-Banach spaces for $p<1$. Among the topics we consider are the existence of infinitely many conditional quasi-greedy bases in the spaces $\ell_{p}$ for $p\le 1$ and the careful examination of the conditionality constants of the "natural basis" of these spaces.
