In this paper the weak topology on a normed space is studied from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional topology. Besides the weak topology on a normed space $X$ (coinciding with the topology of uniform convergence on finite subsets of the…

We show that for a normal locally-${\mathscr P}$ space $X$ (where ${\mathscr P}$ is a topological property subject to some mild requirements) the subset $C_{\mathscr P}(X)$ of $C_b(X)$ consisting of those elements whose support has a…

Let $C_0(K, X)$ denote the space of all continuous $X$-valued functions defined on the locally compact Hausdorff space $K$ which vanish at infinity, provided with the supremum norm. If $X$ is the scalar field, we denote $C_0(K, X)$ by…

The classical theorems of Banach and Stone, Gelfand and Kolmogorov, and Kaplansky show that a compact Hausdorff space $X$ is uniquely determined by the linear isometric structure, the algebraic structure, and the lattice structure,…

Let $\Ps(\N)$ be the set of all finite subsets of $\N$, endowed with the product topology. A description of the compact subsets of $\Ps(\N)$ is given. Two applications of this result to Banach space theory are shown : (1) a characterization…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…

The problem of characterizing normed ordered spaces which admit a representation in the algebraic, order and norm sense as a subspace of $C(X)$, the space of all continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space is a classical problem that…

For a space $X$ denote by $C_b(X)$ the Banach algebra of all continuous bounded scalar-valued functions on $X$ and denote by $C_0(X)$ the set of all elements in $C_b(X)$ which vanish at infinity. We prove that certain Banach subalgebras $H$…

A remarkable theorem of R. C. James is the following: suppose that $X$ is a Banach space and $C \subseteq X$ is a norm bounded, closed and convex set such that every linear functional $x^* \in X^*$ attains its supremum on $C$; then $C$ is a…

The classical Banach--Mazur theorem asserts that every separable Banach space admits an isometric embedding into $C[0,1]$. It is also well known that every separable Banach space embeds isometrically into $\ell^\infty$. We show that such an…

Given a category of objects, it is both useful and important to know if all the objects in the category may be realised as sub-objects -- via morphisms in the given category -- of a single object in that category enjoying some nice…

We show that every finite dimensional Hausdorff (not necessarily paracompact, not necessarily second countable) $C^r$-manifold can be embedded into a weakly complete vector space, i.e. a locally convex topological vector space of the form…

We study the problem of topologically order-embedding a given topological poset X in the space of all closed subsets of X which is topologized by the Fell topology and ordered by set inclusion. We show that this can be achieved whenever X…

In this article, we continue our study of Baire one functions on a topological space $X$, denoted by $B_1(X)$ and extend the well known M. H. Stones's theorem from $C(X)$ to $B_1(X)$. Introducing the structure space of $B_1(X)$, it is…

Let $\kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. A topological space $X$ is $\kappa$-bounded if the closure of any subset of cardinality $\le\kappa$ in $X$ is compact. We discuss the problem of embeddability of topological spaces into Hausdorff…

Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are locally compact Hausdorff spaces, $E$ and $F$ are Banach spaces and $F$ is strictly convex. We show that every linear isometry $T$ from $C_0(X,E)$ {\em into} $C_0(Y,F)$ is essentially a weighted composition operator…

In [8] probabilistic methods, in particular a variant of the Weak Law of Large Numbers related to the Bernoulli distribution, have been used to show that for every infinite compact spaces K and L there exists a sequence $(\mu_n)$ of…

$C_p(X)$ denotes the space of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. A Banach space $E$ equipped with the weak topology is denoted by $E_{w}$. It is unknown whether…

We provided an analogue Banach-Alaoglu theorem for Hilbert $H^*$-module. We construct a $\Lambda$-weak$^*$ topology on a Hilbert $H^*$-module over a proper $H^*$-algebra $\Lambda$, such that the unit ball is compact with respect to…

We show that if $X$ is a complete metric space with uniform relative normal structure and $G$ is a subgroup of the isometry group of $X$ with bounded orbits, then there is a point in $X$ fixed by every isometry in $G$. As a corollary, we…
