Markov type characterizes superreflexivity
Proves that every real Banach space with Markov type p for some p > 1 admits an equivalent uniformly convex norm, answering Naor's renorming question. Together with the known converse, this characterizes superreflexivity by nontrivial Markov type.

Nontrivial Markov Type Forces Superreflexivity
Sep 23, 2026·paper.pdfLean
We prove that every real Banach space with Markov type p > 1 is superreflexive. Together with the known converse, this characterizes superreflexivity by nontrivial Markov type. This answers Naor's question: every real Banach space with nontrivial Markov type admits an equivalent uniformly smooth norm.
