Description:
We find an optimal upper bound on the values of the weak $^* $ -dentability index $ {{\mathrm {Dz}}} (X)$ in terms of the Szlenk index $ {{\mathrm {Sz}}} (X)$ of a Banach space $X$ with separable dual. Namely, if $ {{\mathrm {Sz}}} (X) = \omega ^{\alpha }$ , for some $\alpha 〈 \omega _1,$ and $p\in (1,\infty )$ , then \[ {{\mathrm {Sz}}} (X)\le {{\mathrm {Dz}}} (X)\le {{\mathrm {Sz}}} (L_p(X))\le \left\{ \begin {array}{ll}\omega ^{\alpha +1} & {\mathrm {if\ }} {\alpha }{\mathrm {\ is\ a\ finite\ ordinal,}}\\ \omega ^{\alpha } & {\mathrm {if\ }} {\alpha }{\mathrm {\ is\ an\ infinite\ ordinal.}} \end {array}\right .\]
