Streszczenie
We show that there is no uniformly continuous selection of the quotient map $Q:\ell _\infty \to \ell _\infty //c_0$ relative to the unit ball. We use this to construct an answer to a problem of Benyamini and Lindenstrauss; there is a Banach space $X$ such that there is a no Lipschitz retraction of $X^{**}$ onto $X$; in fact there is no uniformly continuous retraction from $B_{X^{**}}$ onto $B_X$.
