A simple equivalent reformulation of the separable quotient problem

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\) be a real Banach space. It is not known if there is always a closed subspace \(Y \subset X\) such that the quotient space \(X/Y\) is infinite dimensional and separable. In this short paper, the authors give another equivalent formulation of this problem. \(X\) is said to be hyper-barreled if every closed absolutely convex set whose span is dense in \(X\), has non-empty interior. In terms of this notion the equivalence reads `\(X\) has no infinite-dimensional separable quotient if and only if \(X\) is hyper-barreled.'
