Résumé

Let $X$ be a Banach space. The property $(\star)$ “the unit ball of $X$ belongs to ${\rm Baire}(X,{\rm weak})$” holds whenever the unit ball of $X^{*}$ is weak$^{*}$-separable; on the other hand, it is also known that the validity of $(\star)$ ensures that $X^{*}$ is weak$^{*}$-separable. In this paper we use suitable renormings of $\ell^{\infty}(\mathbb{N})$ and the Johnson–Lindenstrauss spaces to show that $(\star)$ lies strictly between the weak$^{*}$-separability of $X^{*}$ and that of its unit ball. As an application, we provide a negative answer to a question raised by K. Musia/l.
