Abstract
Let X and Y be Banach spaces and FâBYâ. Endow Y with the topology ÏF of pointwise convergence on F. Assume that T:XââY is a bounded linear operator which is (wâ,ÏF) continuous. Assume further that every vector in the range of T attains its norm at some element of F (that is, for every xââXâ there exists yââF such that âT(xâ)â=|yâ(Txâ)|). Then T is (wâ,w) continuous. The proof relies on Rosenthal's â1-theorem. As a corollary to the above result, one obtains an alternative proof of James's compactness theorem that a bounded subset K of a Banach space E is relatively weakly compact provided that each functional in Eâ attains its supremum on K.
