Abstract

We prove that, given any covering of any infinite-dimensional Hilbert space H by countably many closed balls, some point exists in H which belongs to infinitely many balls. We do that by characterizing isomorphically polyhedral separable Banach spaces as those whose unit sphere admits a point-finite covering by the union of countably many slices of the unit ball.
