Abstract

Let $A$ be an infinite-dimensional $C^*$-algebra. It is proved that every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of the closed unit ball $B_A$ of $A$ has diameter equal to 2. This implies that $B_A$ is not dentable, and that there is not any point of continuity for the identity mapping $(B_A,{\rm weak)\,{\longrightarrow}\,(B_A,{\rm norm})$.
