Every weakly compact set can be uniformly embedded into a reflexive Banach space.

Based on an application of the Davis-Figiel-Johnson-Pelzyśki procedure, this note shows that every weakly compact subset of a Banach space can be uniformly embedded into a reflexive Banach space. As its application, we present the recent renorming theorems for reflexive spaces of Odell-Schlumprecht and Hájek-Johanis can be extended and localized to weakly compact convex subsets of an arbitrary Banach space.
