Some remarks on stronger versions of the Boundary Problem for Banach spaces

Functional Analysis 2011-03-03 v2

Abstract

Let XX be a real Banach space. A subset BB of the dual unit sphere of XX is said to be a boundary for XX, if every element of XX attains its norm on some functional in BB. The well-known Boundary Problem originally posed by Godefroy asks whether a bounded subset of XX which is compact in the topology of pointwise convergence on BB is already weakly compact. This problem was recently solved by H.Pfitzner in the positive. In this note we collect some stronger versions of the solution to the Boundary Problem, most of which are restricted to special types of Banach spaces. We shall use the results and techniques of Pfitzner, Cascales et al., Moors and others.
