Thin sets of constant width (Q1799177)

Sets of constant width in a normed space are sets such that the distance between any pair of parallel supporting hyperplanes is constant. In the \(2\)-dimensional Euclidean space the Reuleaux triangles are sets of constant width that are different from circles. In finite-dimensional, normed spaces a set of constant width always has an interior point. This is different in infinite-dimensional spaces: The positive part of the unit ball of \(c_{0}\) is a set of constant width, but it does not have an interior point. The authors prove that every real Banach space with an unconditional basis can be renormed such that it contains a set of constant width with no interior point. In particular, there is a reflexive Banach space with this property.
