Isomorphisms of $AC(\sigma)$ spaces for linear graphs

Functional Analysis 2021-05-31 v2

Abstract

We show that among compact subsets of the plane which are drawings of linear graphs, two sets σ\sigma and τ\tau are homeomorphic if and only if the corresponding spaces of absolutely continuous functions (in the sense of Ashton and Doust) are isomorphic as Banach algebras. This gives an analogue for this class of sets to the well-known result of Gelfand and Kolmogorov for C(Ω)C(\Omega) spaces.
