Let $M$ be a non-degenerate Orlicz function such that there exist $\ep > 0$ and $0 < s < 1$ with $\su M(\ep s^i)/M(s^i) < \infty$. It is shown that the Orlicz sequence space $h_M$ is isomorphic to a subspace of $C(\om^\om)$. It is also…

It is well known that every (real or complex) normed linear space $L$ is isometrically embeddable into $C(X)$ for some compact Hausdorff space $X$. Here $X$ is the closed unit ball of $L^*$ (the set of all continuous scalar-valued linear…

We study Banach spaces $C(K)$ of real-valued continuous functions from the finite product of compact lines. It turns out that the topological character of these compact lines can be used to distinguish whether two spaces of continuous…

We consider the compact spaces sigma_n(I) of subsets of an uncountable set I of cardinality at most n and their countable products. We give a complete classification of their Banach spaces of continuous functions and a partial topological…

There are two main aims of the paper. The first one is to extend the criterion for the precompactness of sets in Banach function spaces to the setting of quasi-Banach function spaces. The second one is to extend the criterion for the…

We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…

We give a complete description of homomorphisms between two Banach algebras of Lipschitz functions with values in continuous functions. We also characterize the compactness of those homomorphisms.

A Banach space $X$ has Pe{\l}czy\' nski's property (V) if for every Banach space $Y$ every unconditionally converging operator $T\colon X\to Y$ is weakly compact. In 1962, Aleksander Pe{\l}czy\' nski showed that $C(K)$ spaces for a compact…

We prove two weak compactness criteria in Musielak-Orlicz spaces for $N$-functions satisfying the $\Delta_2$-condition. They extend criteria from And\^o for Orlicz spaces to this setting of non-symmetrical Banach function spaces. As…

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…

We introduce notions of compactness and weak compactness for multilinear maps from a product of normed spaces to a normed space, and prove some general results about these notions. We then consider linear maps $T:A\to B$ between Banach…

We construct a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space N which has clopen subsets M included in L included in N such that N is homeomorphic to M and hence C(N) is isometric as a Banach space to C(M) but C(N) is not isomorphic to C(L).…

We give the first lower bound on the $\scr C(K)$-distortion of the class of separable Banach spaces, for $K$ a countable compact in the family $\{ [0,\omega],[0,\omega\cdot2],\cdots, [0,\omega^2], \cdots, [0,\omega^k\cdot…

We study universal approximation of continuous functionals on compact subsets of products of Hilbert spaces. We prove that any such functional can be uniformly approximated by models that first take finitely many continuous linear…

We construct an analytic self-map $\phi$ of the unit disk and an Orlicz function $\Psi$ for which the composition operator of symbol $\phi$ is compact on the Hardy-Orlicz space $H^\Psi$, but not compact on the Bergman-Orlicz space…

We characterize the relatively compact subsets of $L^1\left(\| m \| \right),$ the quasi-Banach function space associated to the semivariation of a given vector measure $m$ showing that the strong connection between compactness, uniform…

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…

We study subspaces of Orlicz spaces $L_M$ spanned by independent copies $f_k$, $k=1,2,\dots$, of a function $f\in L_M$, $\int_0^1 f(t)\,dt=0$. Any such a subspace $H$ is isomorphic to some Orlicz sequence space $\ell_\psi$. In terms of…

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…

For a metric compact space $L$ and a Banach space $E$, we provide a characterization of the complementability of the Banach space $\mathcal{C}(L)$ of continuous functions on $L$ inside $E$ in terms of the existence of a certain tree in the…
