Norm density of evaluation functionals in the space of weak$^*$ continuous multilinear functionals on products of dual Banach spaces
Let $K$ be a compact (metrizable) space and let $C(K)$ be the Banach space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$, equipped with the supremum norm. It is then well known that the dual space $C(K)^*...

Dual spaces of Banach-valued $L^{p}$-spaces
Let $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mu)$ be a measure space (say complete and $\sigma$-finite, for simplicity). Furthermore, let $(X,\Vert\cdot\Vert_{X})$ be an arbitrary Banach space. I denote by $(L^{p}(\...

Weak*-separability of the unit ball of $X’$ and density characters and cardinalities of $X$ and $X’$
(This question has also been asked on Math StackExchange.)
Let $X$ be a Banach space, $X’$ be its continuous dual such that its unit ball is weak*-separable. I’ve been wondering what can be said about ...

Compactness of the unit ball of a Banach space for topologies finer than the weak* topology
Let $(\mathcal{X} , \|\cdot \|_\mathcal{X})$ be a Banach space and $\mathcal{X}'$ its topological dual. We denote by $\| \cdot \|_{\mathcal{X}'}$ the dual norm and define also the topological dual $\...

Dual space of Carleman functions
Let $X$ be the space of all weakly measurable functions $\gamma:\mathbb{R}^n \to L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (modulo functions that are 0 almost everywhere) for which
$$\|\gamma\|_X^2 := \sup_{\|g\|_{L^2}=1} \...

Does weak-* convergence in $W^{1,\infty}$ imply weak-* convergence in $L^\infty$?
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be open and bounded.
What does weak-* convergence for a sequence of functions $\{f_k\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$ in $W^{1,\infty}(\Omega)$ mean? It seems to me that there ...

If $\tau_1\subset \tau_2$ and $X^*$ is separable for $\tau_1$ then $X^*$ is separable for $\tau_2$?
Let $X$ be a Banach space the associated dual space is denoted by $X^*$. Take $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ two topologies in $X^*$ compatible with the duality $(X^*,X)$, such that $\tau_1\subset \tau_2$.

Completeness of coefficient functionnals
My questions is about Schauder bases and more specifically about coefficient functionals.
Let $(x_n)$ be a Schauder basis of a Banach space $X$. Thus for all $x$ in $X$, $x = \sum f_n(x) x_n$. The $...

Nests on Banach spaces and their duals
Let $X$ be a Banach space and $\mathcal{E}$ a nest on $X$.
Take $f\in X^{*}$ and suppose:
$N \in\mathcal{E}$ is the largest element of the nest so that $f \in N^\bot$
$N=\bigcap_{M>N}M$
Is there ...

If the closed unit ball of Banach space has at least one extreme point, must the Banach space the be a dual space?
Let $X$ be a Banach space.
By Banach-Alaoglu and Krein-Milman Theorems, one can show that if $X$ is a dual space, then $X$ must have at least one extreme point of the closed unit ball.
I am ...

Weak to weak$^*$ continuity of the duality mapping
Let $X$ be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. We consider the duality mapping $J_p^X$ defined as the sub-gradient $\partial (\frac1p\|\cdot\|^p)$. Is there a characterisation of the ...

Dual cone of 'positive' Bochner integrable functions
If we consider the space of integrable functions $L^1([0,1];\mathbb{R})$, it can be ordered by the convex cone of positive integrable functions $L^1([0,1];\mathbb{R}_+)$. It is known that the ...
