Resumen de On a problem of Namioka on norm-attaining functionals

María Dolores Acosta Vigil , Vicente Montesinos Santalucía

• Isaac Namioka conjectured that every nonreflexive Banach space can be renormed is such a way that, in the new norm, the set of norm attaining functionals has an empty interior in the norm topology. We prove the rightness of this conjecture for spaces containing an isomorphic copy of l1. As a consequence, we prove also that the same result holds for a wide class of Banach spaces containing, for example, the weakly compactly generated ones
