For a compact space $K$ we denote by $C_w(K)$ ($C_p(K)$) the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$ endowed with the weak (pointwise) topology. In this paper we discuss the following basic question which seems to be open: Let $K$…

We prove that for any topological space $X$ of countable tightness, each \sigma-convex subspace $\F$ of the space $SC_p(X)$ of scatteredly continuous real-valued functions on $X$ has network weight $nw(\F)\le nw(X)$. This implies that for a…

We study the question for which Tychonoff spaces $X$ and locally convex spaces $E$ the space $C_p(X,E)$ of continuous $E$-valued functions on $X$ contains a complemented copy of the space $(c_0)_p=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^\omega\colon x(n)\to0\}$,…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we denote by $C_p(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ with the topology of pointwise convergence. We give the functional characterization of the covering property of Hurewicz.

We show that the space of continuous functions over a compact space X admits an equivalent pointwise-lowersemicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm whenever X admits a fully closed map onto a compact Y such that C(Y) and the spaces of…

We present new results regarding calibers in the function spaces $C_p(X)$. Our main theorem is that $C_p(X)$ is strongly \v{S}anin whenever $X$ is a submetrizable space; this improves an earlier result due to Tkachuk: $C_p(X)$ is \v{S}anin…

A Tychonoff space $X$ is called $\kappa$-pseudocompact if for every continuous mapping $f$ of $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$ the image $f(X)$ is compact. This notion generalizes pseudocompactness and gives a stratification of spaces lying…

We conclude the classification of spaces of continuous functions on ordinals carried out by R. Gorak. This gives a complete topological classification of the spaces $C_p([0,\alpha])$ of all continuous real-valued functions on compact…

There are presented certain results on extending continuous linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued continuous functions (defined on a compact Hausdorff space X) to linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued measurable functions…

We prove that for each dense non-compact linear operator $S:X\to Y$ between Banach spaces there is a linear operator $T:Y\to c_0$ such that the operator $TS:X\to c_0$ is not compact. This generalizes the Josefson-Nissenzweig Theorem.

An old question of A.V. Arhangel'skii asks if the Menger property of a Tychonoff space $X$ is preserved by homeomorphisms of its function space $C_p(X)$. We provide affirmative answer in the case of linear homeomorphisms. To this end, we…

A compact space $X$ is called $\pi$-monolithic if for any surjective continuous mapping $f:X\rightarrow K$ where $K$ is a metrizable compact space there exists a metrizable compact space $T\subseteq X$ such that $f(T)=K$. A topological…

We study the classification of spaces of continuous functions $C(K)$ under positive linear maps. For infinite countable compacta, we show that whenever $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic, there exists an isomorphism $T:C(K)\to C(L)$…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…

We prove the following version of the Kreps-Yan theorem. For any norm closed convex cone $C\subset L^\infty$ such that $C\cap L_+^\infty=\{0\}$ and $C\supset -L_+^\infty$, there exists a strictly positive continuous linear functional, whose…

We prove that every point-finite family of nonempty functionally open sets in a topological space $X$ has the cardinality at most an infinite cardinal $\kappa$ if and only if $w(X)\leq\kappa$ for every Valdivia compact space $Y\subseteq…

This paper contains the following results: a) Suppose that X is a non-trivial Banach space and L is a non-empty locally compact Hausdorff space without any isolated points. Then each linear operator T: C_{0}(L,X)\to C_{0}(L,X), whose range…

In a paper by Bella, Tokg\"os and Zdomskyy it is asked whether there exists a Tychonoff space $X$ such that the remainder of $C_p(X)$ in some compactification is Menger but not $\sigma$-compact. In this paper we prove that it is consistent…

We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property (BPBp for short) for compact operators. We present some abstract techniques which allows to carry the BPBp for compact operators from sequence spaces to function spaces. As main applications,…
