Abstract
For non-reflexive Banach spaces X, Y, for a very smooth point in the space of compact linear operators K(X, Y), we give several sufficient conditions for the adjoint to be a very smooth point in K(Y *,X*). We exhibit a new class of extreme points in the dual unit ball of injective product spaces. These ideas are also related to Birkhoff-James orthogonality in spaces of operators.
