On l1-preduals distant by 1

Abstract

For every predual X of l1 such that the standard basis in l1 is weak* convergent, we give explicit models of all Banach spaces Y for which the Banach–Mazur distance d(X, Y ) = 1. As a by-product of our considerations, we obtain some new results in metric fixed point theory. First, we show that the space l1, with a predual X as above, has the stable weak* fixed point property if and only if it has almost stable weak* fixed point property, i.e. the dual Y * of every Banach space Y has the weak* fixed point property (briefly, s(Y *, Y )-FPP) whenever d(X; Y ) = 1. Then, we construct a predual X of l1 for which l1 lacks the stable s(l1,X)-FPP but it has almost stable s(l1;X)-FPP, which in turn is a strictly stronger property than the s(l1,X)-FPP. Finally, in the general setting of preduals of l1, we give a sufficient condition for almost stable weak* fixed point property in l1 and we prove that for a wide class of spaces this condition is also necessary.
