Abstract

We present a construction that enables one to find Banach spaces$X$whose sets$\operatorname{NA}(X)$of norm attaining functionals do not contain two-dimensional subspaces and such that, consequently,$X$does not contain proximinal subspaces of finite codimension greater than one, extending the results recently provided by Read [Banach spaces with no proximinal subspaces of codimension 2,Israel J. Math.(to appear)] and Rmoutil [Norm-attaining functionals need not contain 2-dimensional subspaces,J. Funct. Anal. 272(2017), 918–928]. Roughly speaking, we construct an equivalent renorming with the requested properties for every Banach space$X$where the set$\operatorname{NA}(X)$for the original norm is not “too large”. The construction can be applied to every Banach space containing$c_{0}$and having a countable system of norming functionals, in particular, to separable Banach spaces containing$c_{0}$. We also provide some geometric properties of the norms we have constructed.
