Stability of average roughness, octahedrality, and strong diameter 2 properties of Banach spaces with respect to absolute sums

Abstract

We prove that, if Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ are $\delta$-average rough, then their direct sum with respect to an absolute norm $N$ is $\delta /N(1,1)$-average rough. In particular, for octahedral $X$ and $Y$ and for $p$ in $(1,\infty )$ the space $X{\oplus }_{p}Y$ is $2^{1-1/p}$-average rough, which is in general optimal. Another consequence is that for any $\delta$ in $(1,2]$ there is a Banach space which is exactly $\delta$-average rough. We give a complete characterization when an absolute sum of two Banach spaces is octahedral or has the strong diameter 2 property. However, among all of the absolute sums, the diametral strong diameter 2 property is stable only for 1- and $\infty$-sums.
