The geometric notions of a gap and gap points between “concentric” spheres in a normed linear space are introduced and studied. The existence of gap points characterizes finitedimensional spaces. General conditions are given under which an infinite-dimensional normed linear space admits concentric spheres such that both these spheres and their dual spheres fail to have gap points.
