Abstract

When a topological group GG acts on a compact space XX, its enveloping semigroup E(X)E(X) is the closure of the set of gg-translations, gGg\in G, in the compact space XXX^X. Assume that XX is metrizable. It has recently been shown by the first two authors that the following conditions are equivalent: (1) XX is hereditarily almost equicontinuous; (2) XX is hereditarily non-sensitive; (3) for any compatible metric dd on XX the metric dG(x,y):=sup{d(gx,gy):gG}d_G(x,y):=\sup\{d(gx,gy): g\in G\} defines a separable topology on XX; (4) the dynamical system (G,X)(G,X) admits a proper representation on an Asplund Banach space. We prove that these conditions are also equivalent to the following: the enveloping semigroup E(X)E(X) is metrizable.
