AbstractIf the second dual of a Banach space E is smooth at each point of a certain norm dense subset, then its first dual admits a long sequence of norm one projections, and these projections have ranges which are suitable for a transfinite induction argument. This leads to the construction of an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm and a Markuschevich basis for E*.

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].

Every Banach space with separable second dual can be equivalently renormed to have weakly uniformly rotund dual. Under certain embedding conditions a Banach space with weakly uniformly rotund dual is reflexive.

In 1950, R. C. James [7] exhibited a nonreflexive Banach space with a basis that is of finite codimension in its second dual. This space is the first example of a quasi-reflexive space. General results on quasi-reflexive spaces have been obtained by P. Civin and B. Yood [3], and quasi-reflexive spaces with bases have been studied by D. Dean, B. L. Lin, and I. Singer [4 ; 12].

LetKbe a non-archimedean non-trivially valued complete field. In this paper we study Banach spaces overK. Some of main results are as follows: (1) The Banach spaceBC((l∞)1)has an orthocomplemented subspace linearly homeomorphic toc0. (2) The Banach spaceBC((c0)1)has an orthocomplemented subspace linearly homeomorphic tol∞.

In [4] and [5], R. C. James introduced a non-reflexive Banach space J which is isometric to its second dual. Developing new techniques in the theory of Schauder bases, James identified J**, showed that the canonical image of J in J** is of codimension one, and proved that J** is isometric to J.In Section 2 of this paper we show that J, equipped with an equivalent norm, is a semi-simple (commutative) Banach algebra under point wise multiplication, and we determine its closed ideals. We use the Arens multiplication and the Gelfand transform to identify J**, which is in fact just the algebra obtained from J by adjoining an identity.

AbstractIt is shown that every L2-summand vector of a dual real Banach space is a norm-attaining functional. As consequences, the L2-summand vectors of a dual real Banach space can be determined by the L2-summand vectors of its predual; for every n ∈ , every real Banach space can be equivalently renormed so that the set of norm-attaining functionals is n-lineable; and it is easy to find equivalent norms on non-reflexive dual real Banach spaces that are not dual norms.

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.

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space and E, F Banach spaces. We denote by C(K, E) the Banach space of all continuous. E-valued functions defined on K, with the supremum norm. It is well known ([6], [7]) that every operator (= bounded linear operator) T from C(K, E) to F has a finitely additive representing measure m of bounded semi-variation, defined on the Borel σ-field Σ of K and with values in L(E, F″) (the space of all operators from E into the second dual of F), in such a way thatwhere the integral is considered in Dinculeanu's sense.

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space, and let C(K) be the corresponding Banach space of continuous functions on K. It is well-known that every 1-summing operator S:C(K)→l2 is also nuclear, and therefore factors S = S1S2, with S1:l2→l2 a Hilbert–Schmidt operator and S1:C(K)→l2 a bounded operator. It is easily seen that this latter property is preserved when C(K) is replaced by any quotient, and that a Banach space X enjoys this property if and only if its second dual, X**, does. This led A. Pełczyński [15] to ask if the second dual of a Banach space X must be isomorphic to a quotient of a C(K)-space if X has the property that every 1-summing operator X-→l2 factors through a Hilbert-Schmidt operator. In this paper, we shall first of all reformulate the question in an appropriate manner and then show that counter-examples are available among super-reflexive Tsirelson-like spaces as well as among quasi-reflexive Banach spaces.
