Large Banach spaces with no infinite equilateral sets
A subset of a Banach space is called equilateral if the distances between any two of its distinct elements are the same. It is proved that there exist non-separable Banach spaces (in fact of density continuum) with no infinite equilateral subset. These examples are strictly convex renormings of $\ell_1([0,1])$. A wider class of renormings of $\ell_1([0,1])$ which admit no uncountable equilateral sets is also considered.
