A remark on totally smooth renormings (Q2173663): Difference between revisions

In [\textit{E. Oja} et al., Arch. Math. 112, No. 3, 269--281 (2019; Zbl 1415.46010)], a paper coauthored by the reviewer, we proved that every WCG space with a Hahn-Banach smooth norm admits a totally smooth renorming. (\((X,\|\;.\;\|)\) is totally smooth if, for every subspace \(U\subset X\), every functional \(u^*\in U^*\) has a unique norm preserving extension to a functional \(x^{***}\in X^{***}\).) Here, the authors note that such a renorming is possible for every Hahn-Banach smooth space by using a result of \textit{M. Raja} [Isr. J. Math. 129, 77--91 (2002; Zbl 1024.46004)]; so the WCG assumption is not needed at all. Reviewer's remark: M.~Cúth and R.~Smith have kindly pointed out to me (independently of the paper under review) the same extension of our result, this time relying on \textit{M.~Raja}'s paper [Mathematika 46, No.~2, 343--358 (1999; Zbl 1031.46022)].
