Every \(L_ 1\)-predual is complemented in a simplex space (Q582525)

Assume that all Banach spaces are real. By a simplex S one means a compact Choquet simplex; the corresponding simplex space is defined to be \(A(S)=\{f: S\to R:\) f affine and continuous\} \textit{A. J. Lazar} and \textit{J. Lindenstrauss} [Acta Math. 126, 165-194 (1971; Zbl 0209.432)] proved that for any separable \(L_ 1\)-predual space X there is a separable simplex space A(S)\(\supset X\) and contractive projection \(P: A(S)\to X.\) Lazar and Lindenstrauss posed the problem whether the above result remains true without the assumption of separability. In this interesting paper the author supplies positive answer to this question.
