1. In this paper, we investigate the ranges of projections on certain Banach spaces of functions defined on a diadic tree. The notion of a “tree-like” Banach space is due to James 4], who used it to construct the separable space JT which has nonseparable dual and yet does not contain l1. This idea has proved useful. In [3], Hagler constructed a hereditarily c0 tree space, HT, and Schechtman [6] constructed, for each 1 ≦ p ≦ ∞, a reflexive Banach space, STp with a 1-unconditional basis which does not contain lp yet is uniformly isomorphic to for each n.In [1] we showed that if U is a bounded linear operator on JT, then there exists a subspace W ⊂ JT, isomorphic to JT such that either U or (1 — U) acts as an isomorphism on W and UW or (1 — U)W is complemented in JT. In this paper, we establish this result for the Hagler and Schechtman tree spaces.

AbstractTerraces in phylogenetic tree space are, among other things, important for the design of tree space search strategies. While the phenomenon of phylogenetic terraces is already known for unlinked partition models on partitioned phylogenomic data sets, it has not yet been studied if an analogous structure is present under linked and scaled partition models. To this end, we analyze aspects such as the log-likelihood distributions, likelihood-based significance tests, and nearest neighborhood interchanges on the trees residing on a terrace and compare their distributions among unlinked, linked, and scaled partition models. Our study shows that there exists a terrace-like structure under linked and scaled partition models as well. We denote this phenomenon as quasi-terrace. Therefore quasi-terraces should be taken into account in the design of tree search algorithms as well as when reporting results on ‘the’ final tree topology in empirical phylogenetic studies.

AbstractSpecies tree estimation from multi-locus dataset is extremely challenging, especially in the presence of gene tree heterogeneity across the genome due to incomplete lineage sorting (ILS). Summary methods have been developed which estimate gene trees and then combine the gene trees to estimate a species tree by optimizing various optimization scores. In this study, we have formalized the concept of “phylogenomic terraces” in the species tree space, where multiple species trees with distinct topologies may have exactly the same optimization score (quartet score, extra lineage score, etc.) with respect to a collection of gene trees. We investigated the presence and implication of terraces in species tree estimation from multi-locus data by taking ILS into account. We analyzed two of the most popular ILS-aware optimization criteria: maximize quartet consistency (MQC) and minimize deep coalescence (MDC). Methods based on MQC are provably statistically consistent, whereas MDC is not a consistent criterion for species tree estimation. Our experiments, on a collection of dataset simulated under ILS, indicate that MDC-based methods may achieve competitive or identical quartet consistency score as MQC but could be significantly worse than MQC in terms of tree accuracy – demonstrating the presence and affect of phylogenomic terraces. This is the first known study that formalizes the concept of phylogenomic terraces in the context of species tree estimation from multi-locus data, and reports the presence and implications of terraces in species tree estimation under ILS.
