Abstract

Given a bounded convex subset CC of a Banach space XX and a free ultrafilter U\mathcal U, we study which points (xi)U(x_i)_\mathcal U are extreme points of the ultrapower CUC_\mathcal U in XUX_\mathcal U. In general, we obtain that when {xi}\{x_i\} is made of extreme points (respectively denting points, strongly exposed points) and they satisfy some kind of uniformity, then (xi)U(x_i)_\mathcal U is an extreme point (respectively denting point, strongly exposed point) of CUC_\mathcal U. We also show that every extreme point of CUC_{\mathcal U} is strongly extreme, and that every point exposed by a functional in (X)U(X^*)_{\mathcal U} is strongly exposed, provided that U\mathcal U is a countably incomplete ultrafilter. Finally, we analyse the extremal structure of CUC_\mathcal U in the case that CC is a super weakly compact or uniformly convex set.
