We investigate sufficient and necessary conditions for the space of bounded linear operators between two Banach spaces to be rough or average rough. Our main result is that $\mathcal L(X,Y)$ is $δ$-average rough whenever $X^\ast$ is $δ$-average rough and $Y$ is alternatively octahedral. This allows us to give a unified improvement of two theorems by Becerra Guerrero, López-Pérez, and Rueda Zoca [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 427 (2015)].
We prove that the diametral strong diameter 2 property of a Banach space (meaning that, in convex combinations of relatively weakly open subsets of its unit ball, every point has an "almost diametral" point) is stable under 1-sums, i.e., the direct sum of two spaces with the diametral strong diameter 2 property equipped with the 1-norm has again this property.
We discuss the geometry of Banach spaces whose norm is octahedral or, more generally, locally or weakly octahedral. Our main results characterize these spaces in terms of covering of the unit ball.
It is known that a Banach space has the strong diameter 2 property (i.e. every convex combination of slices of the unit ball has diameter 2) if and only if the norm on its dual space is octahedral (a notion introduced by Godefroy and Maurey). We introduce two more versions of octahedrality, which turn out to be dual properties to the diameter 2 property and its local version (i.e., respectively, every relatively weakly open subset and every slice of the unit ball has diameter 2). We study stability properties of different types of octahedrality, which, by duality, provide easier proofs of many known results on diameter 2 properties.
