Let be a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property. Then, the following are equivalent. (i) has numerical index 1. (ii) for all and . (iii) is an almost-CL-space. (iv) There are a compact Hausdorff space and a linear isometry such that for all and . If is a real space, the above conditions are equivalent to being semi-nicely embedded in some space . |
