Abstract
We define two metrics and on each Schreier family , , with which we prove the following metric characterization of the reflexivity of a Banach space : is reflexive if and only if there is an such that there is no mapping for which Additionally we prove, for separable and reflexive Banach spaces and certain countable ordinals , that if and only if does not bi-Lipschitzly embed into . Here denotes the Szlenk index of a Banach space .
