Parties admissibles d’un espace de Banach. Applications. (English) Zbl 0544.46011

In this paper we consider the subsets A of a Banach space E such that the closure \(\tilde A\) of A in the bidual \(E^{**}\) equipped with the \(w^*\)-topology contains only ”regular” linear forms. It is shown that if a dual space \(E^*\) contains ”enough” subsets which satisfy this condition (so called ”admissible sets”) then the predual E of \(E^*\) is unique. This result gives all the previously known examples of uniqueness of the predual (and several others). Moreover, in many situations, we get that the uniqueness of the predual, in the isometric sense, is true for every equivalent dual norm on the space. Other applications are given: e.g. if E is a Banach space and if there exists an isometry S of \(E^{**}\) such that \(S^ 2=Id\) and \(Ker(S-Id)=E,\) then E is weakly sequentially complete. This result has been applied in ”Sous-espaces bien disposés de \(L^ 1\)” [to appear in Trans. Am. Math. Soc. (Zbl 0521.46012)].
