This is an announcement for the paper “Totally smooth renormings” by Eve Oja<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Oja%2C+E>, Tauri Viil<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Viil%2C+T>, Dirk Werner<https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Werner%2C+D>. Abstract: We study the problem of totally smooth renormings of Banach spaces and provide such renormings for spaces which are weakly compactly generated. We also consider renormings for $(a,B,c)$-ideals. The paper may be downloaded from the archive by web browser from URL https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.07335
