I want to prove the following statement




Prove ${fin L^infty : |f|_infty leq 1- epsilon}$ for $epsilonin (0, 1)$ is $w^*$- closed




I've started:



suppose $f_n xrightarrow{w^*}f$ so tht we have $f_n(g) to f(g)$ for all $fin L_1$ Icould'nt able to continuo from here



Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

Let $r=1-varepsilon$. Let $(f_j)_{jin J}$ be a net (*) in $L^{infty}(Omega)$ with $|f_j|_{infty}leq r$ and $f_jrightharpoonup^* bar{f}$. We then have
$$int_{Omega} f_j gto int_{Omega} bar{f}gqquad forall gin L^1(Omega) qquad (1)$$
We need to prove that $|bar{f}|_{infty}leq r$. Suppose by contradiction that this is false. Then there exists a measurable set $E$ with positive measure ($|E|>0$) such that $|bar{f}|geq r+varepsilon$ on $E$ for some $varepsilon>0$. We may also assume that $E$ has finite measure (as long as $Omega$ is $sigma$-finite, which is a rather standard assumption).



Now apply $(1)$ with $g=chi_E$, which is in $L^1(Omega)$ because $|E|<infty$. Since $|f_j|leq r$ a.e., we have
$$r|E|geqint_E f_jto int_E bar{f}geq (r+varepsilon)|E| $$
which is a contradiction.



Anyway, it is worth to notice that in general




Let $X$ be a normed space. Then the closed ball of radius $r$ centered in the origin
$$ B_r:=left{fin X^*:|f|leq rright}$$
is weakly-star closed.




($*$) You should use nets because the weak-star topology is not metrizable in general, unless by weakly*-closed you mean sequentially weakly-star closed. In this specific case, though, this is not necessary, as it can be shown that the restriction to a closed ball of the weak-star topology in the dual of a separable space (and $L^{infty}$ is the dual of $L^1$ which is separable) is metrizable, but this is a more advanced result.
