On closed sets with convex projections in Hilbert space
Let k be a fixed natural number. We show that if C is a closed and nonconvex set in Hilbert space such that the closures of the projections onto all k-hyperplanes (planes with codimension k) are convex and proper, then C must contain a closed copy of Hilbert space. In order to prove this result we introduce for convex closed sets B the set consisting of all points of B that are extremal with respect to projections onto k-hyperplanes. We prove that is precisely the intersection of all k-imitations...
