Summary
Some differential geometric properties of smooth convex bodies in aBanach space are studied. Two mappings, one of which is linear, from the space to its adjoint space receive special attention. if the curvature of the body is suitably bounded, these mappings are one to one and onto.

In particular, our present theorem 8 is the generalization toHilbert space of the fundamental homeomorphism needed to elaborate the foundation of theMinkowski theory of mixed volumes (see pp. 261–266).

Smulian gives conditions on the norm in order that the space be reflexive. SeeSmulian, loc. cit. in (2). The condition used byRosenbloom in order thatB be uniformly convex is not known to the author. SeeRosenbloom, loc. cit. in (3).
