Consider the following properties of a Banach space: the intersection of any support hyperplane with the unit sphere is (S) a singleton (this is the strict convexity); (SF) finite-dimensional set; (SC) compact in the norm topology. It is easy to see that these properties are equivalent to the fact that any closed convex subset of a unit sphere is singleton/finite-dimensional/ compact. Q1: Are (SF) and (SC) different? Q2: Were these conditions considered in the literature? Do they have names? Q3: Are there any necessary or sufficient conditions for them? In particular, are there any dual/predual conditions?
