Uniform-to-proper duality of geometric properties of Banach spaces and their ultrapowers

Abstract: In this note various geometric properties of a Banach space

X

are characterized by means of weaker corresponding geometric properties involving an ultrapower

X^{m} a t h c a l U

. The characterizations do not depend on the particular choice of the free ultrafilter

m a t h c a l U

. For example, a point

x i n S_{X}

is an MLUR point if and only if

j (x)

(given by the canonical inclusion

j c o l o n X o X^{m} a t h c a l U

) in

B_{X^{m} a t h c a l U}

is an extreme point; a point

x i n S_{X}

is LUR if and only if

j (x)

is not contained in any non-degenerate line segment of

S_{X^{m} a t h c a l U}

; a Banach space

X

is URED if and only if there are no

x, y i n S_{X^{m} a t h c a l U}

,

x e q y

, with

x - y i n j (X)

.
