Abstract

We introduce and systematically study the weak diametral diameter two property (weak-DD2P), a new geometric property that lies strictly between the diametral diameter two property and both the diameter two property and the convex diametral local diameter two property. A necessary condition for the weak-DD2P is obtained through the structure of the extreme points of the dual unit ball, which leads to characterisations for several classical classes of spaces, including C(K)C(K) spaces, L1L_1-preduals, unital uniform algebras, and (vector-valued) function algebras. We establish stability results under standard constructions such as absolute sums, K\"othe--Bochner spaces, and projective (symmetric) tensor products. Moreover, we provide complete descriptions of the weak-DD2P for vector-valued spaces of the form L1(μ,X)L_1(\mu,X), L(μ,X)L_\infty(\mu,X), and C(K,X)C(K,X). These results yield a wide range of new examples and show that the weak-DD2P exhibits a behaviour genuinely different from that of other diameter two properties.
