Strongly exposing functionals of convex weakly compact sets
[27.02.2024, 12.15. THE MEETING IS HELD HYBRID, STATIONARY PART in 1016]
Abstract: For a closed, convex bounded subset C of a Banach space X we call a point x in C strongly exposed if some functional on X attains its strong maximum in x. Functionals of norm one that satisfy the above condition for some point in C are called strongly exposing functionals of C. In my talk I will present a proof by J. Bourgain of celebrated results by J. Lindenstrauss and S.L. Troyanski stating that a convex and weakly compact subset of a Banach space is the closed convex hull of its strongly exposed points and the set of strongly exposing functionals of C is a dense G-delta subset of the unit sphere of X*.
