Extract

It follows from the Krein-Milman theorem that (c0) is not isomorphic to the dual of a Banach space. Using a technique due to Banach ((4), page 194) we shall extend this result to show that if a subspace of (c0) is isomorphic to the dual of a normed linear space, then it is finite dimensional (Proposition 1). Using this result, we shall show that if E is a normed linear space, the unit ball of which is contained in the closed absolutely convex cover of a weak Cauchy sequence, then Eis finite dimensional (Proposition 2). This result has applications to the Banach-Dieudonné theorem, and to the theory of two-norm spaces.
