Weight of convex compact sets and their boundaries.

The boundary of a convex compact set K is a set B\subset K such that any continuous affine function on K attains a maximum on B. The set of extreme points is the boundary. It has been proved that if some boundary B of a convex compact subset K of a locally convex linear space has a countable network, then the convex compact set K is metrizable. R. Haydon proved this statement in 1976 for the case when B is a set of extreme points. J. Spurnỳ proved this statement in 2010 for the case when B is a separable metrizable space. If the boundary B is a Lindelof \Sigma-space, then the network weight nw(B) of the boundary K coincides with the weight w(K) of the convex compact set K.
