Entire functions on \(c_ 0\) (Q793289): Difference between revisions

It is shown that every holomorphic function on the Banach space \(c_ 0\) of complex null sequences which is bounded on weakly compact subsets is bounded on bounded subsets of \(c_ 0\). This result answers a question of \textit{R. M. Aron, C. Hérves, M. Valdivia} [J. Funct. Anal. 52, 189-204 (1983; Zbl 0517.46019)] in the negative. The result also shows that a holomorphic analogue of the following characterization of reflexive Banach spaces does not hold: A Banach space E is reflexive if and only if every weakly continuous function on E is bounded on bounded subsets of E [cf. \textit{M. Valdivia}, J. Funct. Anal. 24, 1-10 (1977; Zbl 0344.46004)].
