In the book of Brezis : "Analyse fonctionnelle : Théorie et application", chapter III (i.e. construction of weak topology, weak-* topology reflexives spaces...), why do we need "Banach spaces" ? Isn't normed spaces enough ? The particular example I have in mind if theorem III.16 (named as Kakutani) that says : Let $E$ a Banach spaces. Then $$B_E=x$$
is compact for the weak topology $sigma (E,E')$ $iff$ $E$ is reflexive.
I read the proof with attention, and I don't see where we use the fact that $E$ is complete for it's norm. So why do we need the assumption to be Banach ? The only reason for me would be that we use Banach-Steinhaus's theorem (BST) (and thus, we need completeness). But in the proof of Kakutani's theorem I don't see anywhere the used of (BST). So maybe the completeness is used somewhere I don't see ?

Indeed the equivalence still holds if $E$ is an incomplete normed space (over $mathbbR$ or $mathbbC$): both sides are false. This is pretty easy to see directly and really misses the point of the theorem. So the authors probably just decided not to bother to include this relatively uninteresting case.
It's pretty common in functional analysis to write theorems that only cover Banach spaces, even when normed spaces could also be included. This can be for any of several reasons:
In most applications, you are working with Banach spaces
The theorem may become trivial for incomplete spaces
For an incomplete space $X$, the theorem gives you the "right" conclusion if you apply it to the completion of $X$.

Thank you very much for your answer. Could please point me where the author used the fact that $E$ is a Banach space ? (because if both side are false in non Banach space, to justify that at least one side is true in Banach side we must use completeness, don't we ?)

As Eduardo point, on $mathbb R$ as a $mathbb Q-$vector space, the unit ball is compact. So it hold in incomplete vector space (as I understood, you said that both side are false in incomplete vector space). So could you please give me more explanation ? :)

Leaving $mathbbQ$-vector spaces aside, I am not convinced that on a non-complete normed space the unit ball cannot be weakly compact. To me this does not seem 'easy to see' at least :(

@LorenzoQuarisa Let $E$ be an incomplete normed space (real or complex), $tildeE$ its completion. Then $tildeE' = E'$, and $sigma(E,E')$ is the subspace topology induced from $sigma(tildeE,E')$. The closed unit ball of $E$ is norm-dense in the closed unit ball of $tildeE$, hence it is a fortiori $sigma(tildeE,E')$-dense in it. In particular, it is not $sigma(tildeE,E')$-closed, which it would be if it were $sigma(E,E')$-compact.

How? The definition of the unit ball and its compactness only depend on the topology of $mathbbR$, and not on which field it is considered as a vector space.

Interesting, but I think that in the definition of normed space we require either a real or complex vector space, so this is not a normed space.

I think OP means "normed linear space," which at least Wikipedia takes to mean a vector space over $mathbb R$ or $mathbb C.$ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normed_vector_space

Can you provide me a reference, I meant if I'm looking for this definition in the Bourbaki or other classical book I will find this warning? I have this doubt, but I have never found a reference that said this with all words...
