AbstractA Banach space (X, ∥ · ∥) is said to be a dual differentiation space if every continuous convex function defined on a non-empty open convex subset A of X* that possesses weak* continuous subgradients at the points of a residual subset of A is Fréchet differentiable on a dense subset of A. In this paper we show that if we assume the continuum hypothesis then there exists a dual differentiation space that does not admit an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm.

AbstractA Banach space is an Asplund space if every continuous convex function on an open convex subset is Fréchet differentiable on a dense G8 subset of its domain. The recent research on the Radon-Nikodým property in Banach spaces has revealed that a Banach space is an Asplund space if and only if every separable subspace has separable dual. It would appear that there is a case for providing a more direct proof of this characterisation.

For a continuous convex function on an open convex subset of any Banach space a separability condition on its image under the subdifferential mapping is sufficient to guarantee the generic Fréchet differentiability of the function. This gives a direct insight into the characterisation of Asplund spaces.

For a set E in a metric space X the index of non-separability is β(E) = inf{r > 0: E is covered by a countable-family of balls of radius less than r}.Now, for a set-valued mapping Φ from a topological space A into subsets of a metric space X we say that Φ is β upper semi-continuous at t ∈ A if given ε > 0 there exists a neighbourhood U of t such that β(Φ(U)) < ε. In this paper we show that if the subdifferential mapping of a continuous convex function Φ is β upper semi-continuous on a dense subset of its domain then Φ is Fréchet differentiable on a dense Gδ subset of its domain. We also show that a Banach space is Asplund if and only if every weak* compact subset has weak* slices whose index of non-separability is arbitrarily small.

We show that if $(X,\Vert \cdot \Vert )$ is a Banach space that admits an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm and the set of all norm-attaining functionals is residual then the dual norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert ^{\ast }$ on $X^{\ast }$ is Fréchet at the points of a dense subset of $X^{\ast }$ . This answers the main open problem in a paper by Guirao, Montesinos and Zizler [‘Remarks on the set of norm-attaining functionals and differentiability’, Studia Math. 241 (2018), 71–86].

AbstractIn the absence of the axiom of choice, the set-theoretic status of many natural statements about metrizable compact spaces is investigated. Some of the statements are provable in $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF , some are shown to be independent of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF . For independence results, distinct models of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF and permutation models of $$\mathbf {ZFA}$$ ZFA with transfer theorems of Pincus are applied. New symmetric models of $$\mathbf {ZF}$$ ZF are constructed in each of which the power set of $$\mathbb {R}$$ R is well-orderable, the Continuum Hypothesis is satisfied but a denumerable family of non-empty finite sets can fail to have a choice function, and a compact metrizable space need not be embeddable into the Tychonoff cube $$[0, 1]^{\mathbb {R}}$$ [ 0 , 1 ] R .
