About smooth and non-poor subspaces of Daugavet spaces

Abstract

We discuss an example of a non-complete normed space with the Daugavet property such that the norm is G\^ateaux differentiable at every nonzero point. In contrast, we note that the dual norm of a normed space with the Daugavet property is not G\^ateaux differentiable at any point. Furthermore, we show that quasilacunary M\"untz spaces form a natural class of subspaces of $C[0,1]$, isomorphic to $c_0$, for which the corresponding quotient spaces fail to have the Daugavet property. At the same time, the slice diameter two property is preserved under this construction.
