Explicity Defined Norms on $JT_*$ Spaces
We present a Banach space $X_\alpha$, equipped with an explicit norm, whose properties resemble those of the predual $JT_*$ of the James Tree space. In particular, $X_\alpha$ admits a shrinking dyadic basis with the property that the sums of its elements over any segment are uniformly bounded. The space $X_\alpha$ is c...
