Let $A\subset \ell^2$ consist of all $x\in \ell^2$ with $|x|_2=1$ which does not belong to any $\ell^p$ for all $0<p<2$. Note that $A$ is non-empty with a Baire category argument. I am interested in (somewhat) distribution and configuration of $A$ and its complement in the unit sphere $S$ of $\ell^2$. Note that $S\setminus A$ is path connected. >Is $S\setminus A$ a contractible space? > What can be said about connected components of $A$? In particular can one find at least one non constant curve? **Note:** I was thinking to a possible density of $A$ in the sphere, or to a possible measure of $A$ as a subset of sphere. Note that density of a subset $A$ at a point $p$ of a metric space with measure $\mu$ is the limit $\frac{\mu(A\cap B_\epsilon)}{\mu (B_{\epsilon})}$ as $\epsilon$ goes to 0. ($B_\epsilon$ is the ball around $p$). But I realized that the measure theory on infinite Banach spaces is a technical matter: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/36403/what-is-known-about-the-gaussian-measure-of-the-unit-ball-in-a-hilbert-space https://mathoverflow.net/questions/404005/what-is-the-right-definition-of-zero-measure-subsets-of-banach-spaces https://mathoverflow.net/questions/234249/invariant-probability-on-a-unit-ball-of-a-banach-space https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/75932/measure-on-hilbert-space
