Abstract:

We construct a metrizable simplex $X$ and a Baire–two function $f$ on $X$ satisfying the barycentric formula such that $f$ is not of affine class two; i.e., there is no bounded sequence of affine Baire–one functions on $X$ converging to $f$. This provides an example of a Banach $\mathcal {L}_\infty$–space $E$ such that $E_{2}^{**}\neq E_{\mathcal {B}_2}^{**}$.
