Abstract

We show that there is a universal constant C > 1 such that any projection from Mn, n ≥ 3, onto a hyperplane has norm greater than or equal to C. Here Mn may be given either the trace-class or operator norm. Hence the basis constants for Mn, n ≥ 3, are bounded from below by C > 1. On the other hand, M2 is shown to have a monotone basis.
