Abstract

We prove that for every infinite-dimensional Banach space X with a Fréchet differentiable norm, the sphere $S_X$ is diffeomorphic to each closed hyperplane in X. We also prove that every infinite-dimensional Banach space Y having a (not necessarily equivalent) $C^p$ norm (with $p ∈ ℕ ∪ {∞}$)$ is $C^p$ diffeomorphic to $Y \ {0}$.
