On $\ell_\infty$-Grothendieck subspaces

Abstract

A closed subspace $S$ of $\ell_\infty$ is said to be a \emph{$\ell_\infty$-Grothendieck subspace} if $c_0\subset S$ (hence $\ell_\infty\subset S^{**}$) and every $\sigma(S^*,S)$-convergent sequence in $S^*$ is $\sigma(S^*,\ell_\infty)$-convergent. Here we give examples of closed subspaces of $\ell_\infty$ containing $c_0$ which are or fail to be $\ell_\infty$-Grothendieck.
