Rotund Renormings in Spaces of Bochner Integrable Functions

Marián Fabian, Sebastián Lajara

We show that if μ is a probability measure and X is a Banach space, then the Lebesgue-Bochner space

L^1(\mu,X) L 1 ( μ , X )
admits an equivalent norm which is rotund (uniformly rotund in every direction, locally uniformly rotund, or midpoint locally uniformly rotund) if X does. We also prove that if X admits a uniformly rotund norm, then the space
L^1(\mu,X) L 1 ( μ , X )
has an equivalent norm whose restriction to every reflexive subspace is uniformly rotund. This is done via the Luxemburg norm associated to a suitable Orlicz function.
