[EN] Morris (1983) proved that every separable Banach space $X$ that contains an isomorphic copy of $c_0$ has an equivalent strictly convex norm such that all points of its unit sphere $S_X$ are unpreserved extreme, i.e., ...

[EN] There is a maybe unexpected connection between three apparently unrelated notions concerning a given w*-dense subspace Y of the dual X* of a Banach space X: (i) The norming character of Y, (ii) the fact that (Y, w*) ...
[EN] It is a classical fact, due to Day, that every separable Banach space admits an equivalent Gateaux smooth renorming. In fact, it admits an equivalent uniformly Gateaux smooth norm, as was shown later by Day, James, ...

We further develop a classical geometric construction of V. Klee and show, typically, that if X is a nonreflexive Banach space with separable dual, then X admits an equivalent norm vertical bar . vertical bar which is ...

[EN] We use the smooth variational principle and a standard renorming to give a short direct proof of the classical Bishop-Phelps-Bollobas theorem on the density of norm-attaining functionals for weakly compactly generated ...
