A dual geometric characterization of Banach spaces not containing l1

Elias Saab and Paulette Saab

Vol. 105 (1983), No. 2, 415–425
Abstract

It is shown that a Banach space E does not contain a copy of l1 if and only if every bounded subset of E is w-dentable in (E(E,E∗∗)). The notion of w-scalarly dentable sets in dual Banach space is introduced and it is proved that a Banach space E does not contain a copy of l1 if and only if every bounded set in E is w-scalarly dentable. Finally, a point of continuity criterion that characterizes Asplund operators and those operators that factor through Banach spaces not containing copies of l1, is given.
