Abstract

We obtain new categorical proofs that generalize the diagonal principles introduced in Castillo and Moreno (Israel J. Math. 140:253–270, 2004) to study the automorphic and partially automorphic character of Banach spaces. We then introduce and study the automorphy index \(\mathfrak a(\cdot)\) for a Banach space, showing that \(\mathfrak a(l_\infty)= \aleph_0\) while \(\mathfrak a(C[0,1])=\aleph_1\).
