1-greedy renormings of Garling sequence spaces

We show that all Garling sequence spaces admit a renorming with respect to which their standard unit vector basis is 1-greedy. We also discuss some additional properties of these Banach spaces related to uniform convexity and superreflexivity. In particular, our approach to the study of the superreflexivity of Garling sequence spaces provides an example of how essentially non-linear tools from greedy approximation can be used to shed light on the linear structure of these spaces.
