Abstract
A structure theory is developed for Tsirelson’s example of a Banach space which contains no isomorphic copy ofl p orc 0. In particular, it is shown that this space is the first example, other than subspaces ofl p andc 0, of a Banach space which embeds isomorphically into each of its infinite dimensional subspaces.
