On the Duals of Flat Banach Spaces.
We introduce the notions of pointwise modulus of squareness and local modulus of squareness of a normed space X. This answers a question of C. Benítez, K. Przesławski and D. Yost about the definition of a sensible localization of the modulus of squareness. Geometrical properties of the norm of X (Fréchet smoothness, Gâteaux smoothness, local uniform convexity or strict convexity) are characterized in terms of the behaviour of these moduli.
In this note we study the topological structure of weighted James spaces J(h). In particular we prove that J(h) is isomorphic to J if and only if the weight h is bounded. We also provide a description of J(h) if the weight is a non-decreasing sequence.
The space of all order continuous linear functionals on an Orlicz space defined by an arbitrary (not necessarily convex) Orlicz function is described.
