Slicely countably determined Banach spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce the class of slicely countably determined Banach spaces which contains in particular all spaces with the RNP and all spaces without copies of ell1. We present many examples and several properties of this class. We give some applications to Banach spaces with the Daugavet and the alternative Daugavet properties, lush spaces and Banach spaces with numerical index 1. In particular, we show that the dual of a real infinite-dimensional Banach with the alternative Daugavet property contains ell1 and that operators which do not fix copies of ell1 on a space with the alternative Daugavet property satisfy the alternative Daugavet equation.


The authors introduce a new class of Banach spaces, called slicely countably determined (SCD for short) Banach spaces. A (separable) Banach space \(X\) is called SCD if, for every convex bounded subset \(A\subset X\), there is a sequence of slices \((S_n)\) such that each slice of \(A\) contains one of the \(S_n\). Spaces not containing \(\ell_1\) and spaces with the Radon-Nikodým property are SCD, and so are \(c_0(\ell_1)\) and \(\ell_1(c_0)\). The authors study this class of spaces and the class of associated operators, and they give applications to the Daugavet property and to spaces with numerical index~\(1\). Full proofs of the results announced in this paper can be found in the authors' forthcoming article [``Slicely countably determined Banach spaces, arXiv:0809.2723v2, to appear in Trans. Am. Math. Soc.].
