Weak$^*$ derived sets of convex sets in duals of non-reflexive spaces (2101.10684v1)

Abstract: We investigate weak$^*$ derived sets, that is the sets of weak$^*$ limits of bounded nets, of convex subsets of duals of non-reflexive Banach spaces and their possible iterations. We prove that a dual space of any non-reflexive Banach space contains convex subsets of any finite order and a convex subset of order $\omega + 1$.
