Abstract

The 2-ball property is shown to be transitive. Combining this with some results on the decomposability of convex bodies, we produce new examples of Banach spaces which contain proper semi-M-ideals. These semi-M-ideals are not hyperplanes, nor are they the direct sums of examples which are hyperplanes.
