Support functionals and their relation to the Radon-Nikodym property

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\), \(Y\) be complex Banach spaces. Let \(L(X,Y)\) denote the space of bounded linear operators. The author defines the Bishop-Phelps property for \(X\) as, for any nonempty, bounded and closed set \(C\subset X\), for any Banach space \(Y\) and \(T\in L(X,Y)\), there is an approximating sequence \( \{T_{n}\}\subset L(X,Y)\) with each \(T_{n}\) attaining \(\sup \{\|T_{n}(x)\|: x\in C\}\) on \(C\). In this paper, the author notes that if \(X\) has the Radon-Nikodym property, then it has the Bishop-Phelps property. Reviewer's remark: There is a lot of recent work showing that several classical function spaces and infinite dimensional \(C^{\ast }\)-algebras fail to have stronger forms of exposed points in the unit ball. In fact, these spaces lack weak neighbourhoods of small norm diameter.
