Abstract. Let A ∞ (B X ) be the Banach space of all bounded and continuous functions on the closed unit ball B X of a complex Banach space X and holomorphic on the open unit ball, with sup norm, and let A u (B X ) be the subspace of A ∞ (B X ) of those functions which are uniformly continuous on B X . A subset B ⊂ B X is a boundary for A ∞ (B X ) if f = sup x∈B |f (x)| for every f ∈ A ∞ (B X ). We prove that for X = d(w, 1) (the Lorentz sequence space) and X = C 1 (H), the trace class operators, there is a minimal closed boundary for A ∞ (B X ). On the other hand, for X = S, the Schreier space, and, there is no minimal closed boundary for the corresponding spaces of holomorphic functions.
