Abstract
For a class of convex sets (in not necessarily finite-dimensional) real vector spaces, let Sep denote the class of all convex sets C such that the affine maps from C to elements of separate points. If we restrict our attention to finite-dimensional convex sets, there are only four possibilities for . Similarly, restriction to absolutely convex sets yields only three possibilities. In the general case, there are many possibilities for Sep , at least as many as cardinals. In particular, there is no line-free convex set C such that for all linearly bounded convex sets D the affine maps from D to C separate points.
