Review text

Let \(X\) be a real Banach space. A subset \(B\) of the dual unit ball \(B_{X^*}\) is said to be a boundary for \(B_{X^*}\) if for any \(x\in X\) there exists \(e^*\in B\) such that \(e^*(x)=|x|\). The authors investigate the following boundary problem: If \(B\subset B_{X^*}\) is a boundary and \(H\) is any norm bounded and \(\sigma(X, B)\) -- compact subset of \(X\), is \(H\) weakly compact? For all Banach spaces \(X\) the answer is ``yes when \(B\) is the set of extreme points of \(B_{X^*}\) [\textit{J. Bourgain} and \textit{M. Talagrand}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 80, No. 1, 68-70 (1980; Zbl 0435.46016)]. For any Banach space \(X\) not containing a copy of \(\ell^1\), the answer is positive for every boundary [\textit{G. Godefroy}, Math. Ann. 277, 173-184 (1987; Zbl 0597.46015)]. The authors extend Godefroy's result to Banach spaces containing no copy of \(\ell^1(c)\) (where \(c\) denotes the cardinality of the real numbers).
