Abstract

We show that on the real 22-dimensional Banach space 12\ell_1^2 there is an analytic function f:B12Rf:B_{\ell_1^2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} such that its power series at origin has radius of uniform convergence one, but for some aB12a\in B_{\ell_1^2} the power series centred at that point has radius of uniform convergence strictly less than 1a1-\|a\|. This result highlights a fundamental distinction in real analytic functions (compared to complex analytic functions), where the radius of analyticity can differ from the radius of uniform convergence. Moreover, this example provides the first non-trivial upper bound for the constant of analyticity.
