On a 'philosophical' question about Banach envelopes

Functional Analysis 2020-03-18 v1

Abstract

We show how to construct nonlocally convex quasi-Banach spaces XX whose dual separates the points of a dense subspace of XX but does not separate the points of XX. Our examples connect with a question raised by Pietsch [About the Banach envelope of l1,l_{1,\infty}, Rev. Mat. Complut. 22 (2009), 209-226] and shed light into the unexplored class of quasi-Banach spaces with nontrivial dual which do not have sufficiently many functionals to separate the points of the space.
