Extract

In a series of recent papers ((10), (9) and (11)) Rosenthal and Odell have given a number of characterizations of Banach spaces that contain subspaces isomorphic (that is, linearly homeomorphic) to the space l1 of absolutely summable series. The methods of (9) and (11) are applicable only in the case of separable Banach spaces and some of the results there were established only in this case. We demonstrate here, without the separability assumption, one of these characterizations:

a Banach space B contains no subspace isomorphic to l1 if and only if every weak* compact convex subset of B* is the norm closed convex hull of its extreme points.
