We construct a reflexive Banach space $X_\mathcal{D}$ with an unconditional basis such that all spreading models admitted by normalized block sequences in $X_\mathcal{D}$ are uniformly equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_1$, yet every infinite-dimensional closed subspace of $X_\mathcal{D}$ fails the Lebesgue property. This is a new result in a program initiated by Odell in 2002 concerning the strong separation of asymptotic properties in Banach spaces., Comment: 23 pages

A Banach space is said to have the Lebesgue property if every Riemann-integrable function $f:[0,1]\to X$ is Lebesgue almost everywhere continuous. We give a characterization of the Lebesgue property in terms of a new sequential asymptotic structure that is strictly between the notions of spreading and asymptotic models. We also reproduce an apparently lost theorem of Pelczynski and da Rocha Filho that a subspace $X\subset L_{1}[0,1]$ has the Lebesgue property if every spreading model of $X$ is equivalent to the unit vector basis of $\ell_{1}$., Comment: 20 pages
