On a Weakly Uniformly Rotund Dual of a Banach Space

Hajek proved that a WUR Banach space is an Asplund space. This result suggests that the WUR property might have interesting consequences as a dual property. We show that

(i) every Banach Space with separable second dual can be equivalently renormed to have WUR dual,

(ii) under certain embedding conditions a Banach space with WUR dual is reflexive.
