A topological characterization of dual strict convexity in Asplund spaces

Functional Analysis 2022-06-14 v1

Abstract

Let XX be an Asplund space. We show that the existence of an equivalent norm on XX having a strictly convex dual norm is equivalent to the dual unit sphere SXS_{X^*} (equivalently XX^*) possessing a non-linear topological property called (*), which was introduced by J. Orihuela, S. Troyanski and the author.
