Abstract

An example of a Banach space, X, with a nonseparable dual such that l1 does not imbed in X is investigated. Not every weakly null sequence has a subsequence equivalent to the usual basis of c0, but c0 imbeds in many subspaces of X. The space l1 does imbed in X, the dual space of X, yet weakly converging sequences in X need not converge in norm.
