A Solution to Banach's Hyperplane Problem

An infinite-dimensional Banach space X is constructed whichis not isomorphic to X R. Equivalently, X is not isomorphicto any of its closed subspaces of codimension one. This givesa negative answer to a question of Banach. In fact, X has thestronger property that it is not isomorphic to any proper subspace.It also happens to have an unconditional basis.
