If number of extreme points of $B_X$ is finite, then $X$ is of finite dimensional

banach-spacesconvex-analysisfunctional-analysis

Let $X$ be a Banach space.
Recall that closed unit ball $B_X$ of $X$ is defined by
$$B_X = \{y\in X: \|y\|\leq 1\}.$$
We say that $x\in X$ is an extreme point of $B_X$ if $x = \frac{1}{2}(u+v)$ where $u,v \in B_X$ implies that $x = u =v.$

Question: Is it true that if the number of extreme points of $B_X$ is finite, then $X$ is of finite dimensional?

Best Answer

No. The unit ball of the space $c_0$ of all null sequences does not have any extreme points.
