The behaviour of quasi-linear maps on $C(K)$-spaces

Functional Analysis 2026-02-20 v1

Abstract

In this paper we combine topological and functional analysis methods to prove that a non-locally trivial quasi-linear map defined on a C(K)C(K) must be nontrivial on a subspace isomorphic to c0c_0. We conclude the paper with a few examples showing that the result is optimal, and providing an application to the existence of nontrivial twisted sums of 1\ell_1 and c0c_0.
