There is a maybe unexpected connection between three apparently unrelated notions concerning a given class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16304395&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16304395&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=f167f9ff9552fcbebe3cd6c20dac3c1a" title="Click to view the MathML source">w⁎class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">-dense subspace Y of the dual class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16304395&_mathId=si2.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16304395&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=65dfb549455cc136408e7f102bc5cc02" title="Click to view the MathML source">X⁎class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> of a Banach space X: (i) The norming character of Y , (ii) the fact that class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16304395&_mathId=si3.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16304395&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=2dcc376a0e821abcfb58cd8a020b5fc2" title="Click to view the MathML source">(Y,w⁎)class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> has the Mazur property, and (iii) the completeness of the Mackey topology class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16304395&_mathId=si4.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16304395&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=0cd0cb8356afd808a1ccd28654210453" title="Click to view the MathML source">μ(X,Y)class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">, i.e., the topology on X of the uniform convergence on the family of all absolutely convex class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16304395&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16304395&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=f167f9ff9552fcbebe3cd6c20dac3c1a" title="Click to view the MathML source">w⁎class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">-compact subsets of Y . To clarify these connections is the purpose of this note. The starting point was a question raised by M. Kunze and W. Arendt and the answer provided by J. Bonet and B. Cascales.

We characterize the class of spaces where the original Kunze–Arendt question has always a positive answer. Some other applications are also provided.
