Remarks on diameter 2 properties

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: If X is an infinite-dimensional uniform algebra, if X has the Daugavet property or if X is a proper M-embedded space, every relatively weakly open subset of the unit ball of the Banach space X is known to have diameter 2, i.e., X has the diameter 2 property. We prove that in these three cases even every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball have diameter 2. Further, we identify new examples of spaces with the diameter 2 property outside the formerly known cases; in particular we observe that forming ellp-sums of diameter 2 spaces does not ruin diameter 2 structure.


The authors say that a Banach space \(X\) has the local diameter~\(2\) property if every open slice of its unit ball \(B_X\) has diameter~\(2\), \(X\) has the diameter~\(2\) property if every non-empty relatively weakly open subset of \(B_X\) has diameter~\(2\), and \(X\) has the strong diameter~\(2\) property if every convex combination of open slices of \(B_X\) has diameter~\(2\). The strong diameter~\(2\) property implies the diameter~\(2\) property, and the diameter~\(2\) property obviously implies the local diameter~\(2\) property. The paper surveys known examples, presents new ones and investigates properties of spaces with the diameter~\(2\) property. The final section lists some open questions, in particular it is asked whether the three diameter~\(2\) properties actually coincide.NEWLINENEWLINEReviewer's remark: Recently it was shown that the diameter~\(2\) property does not imply the strong diameter~\(2\) property [\textit{M. D.~Acosta, J.~Becerro Guerrero} and \textit{G.~López Pérez}, ``Stability results on diameter two properties; \textit{R.~Haller, J.~Langemets}, ``Two remarks on diameter~\(2\) properties] and that the local diameter~\(2\) property does not imply the diameter~\(2\) property [\textit{J.~Becerra Guerrero, G.~López Pérez} and \textit{A.~Rueda Zoca}, ``Big slices versus big relatively weakly open subsets in Banach spaces, \texttt{arXiv:1304.4397}].
