Abstract
- We single out and study a natural class of Banach spaces – almost square Banach spaces. In an almost square space we can find, given a finite set x 1 , x 2 , … , x N in the unit sphere, a unit vector y such that ‖ x i − y ‖ is almost one. These spaces have duals that are octahedral and finite convex combinations of slices of the unit ball of an almost square space have diameter 2. We provide several examples and characterizations of almost square spaces. We prove that non-reflexive spaces which are M -ideals in their biduals are almost square. We show that every separable space containing a copy of c 0 can be renormed to be almost square. A local and a weak version of almost square spaces are also studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
