A Banach space has the local diameter 2 property (LD2P) if every slice of its unit ball has diameter 2 and it has the diameter 2 property (D2P) if every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2. Since slices are relatively weakly open, it is clear that D2P \(\Rightarrow\) LD2P. Whether there is a Banach space with the LD2P and failing the D2P was posed as a question in [\textit{T. A. Abrahamsen} et al., ``Remarks on diameter 2 properties'', J. Conv. Anal. 20, No. 2, 439--452 (2013; Zbl 1274.46027)]. The authors give an affirmative answer to this question. They show that every Banach space which contains an isomorphic copy of \(c_0\) can be equivalently renormed in such a way that it has the LD2P and it fails the D2P in an extreme way, that is, it contains nonempty relatively weakly open subsets of arbitrarily small diameter.
