A Reverse Theorem on the ·-w* Continuity of the Dual Map
Journal of Function Spaces, 2015 Given a Banach space X, x∈𝖲X, and 𝖩Xx=x*∈𝖲X*:x*x=1, we define the set 𝖩X*x of all x*∈𝖲X* for which there exist two sequences xnn∈N⊆𝖲X∖{x} and xn*n∈N⊆𝖲X* such that xnn∈N converges to x, xn*n∈N has a subnet w*-convergent to x*, and xn*xn=1 for all n∈N.
