We prove that if is not a Kunen cardinal, then there is a uniform Eberlein compact space K such that the Banach space C(K) does not embed isometrically into ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$. We prove a similar result for isomorphic embeddings. Our arguments are minor modifications of the proofs of analogous results for Corson compacta obtained by S. Todorčević. We also construct a consistent example of a uniform Eberlein compactum whose space of continuous functions embeds isomorphically into ${\ell }_{\infty }/c₀$, but fails to embed isometrically....

We take another approach to the well known theorem of Korovkin, in the following situation: X, Y are compact Hausdorff spaces, M is a unital subspace of the Banach space C(X) (respectively, $C_{ℝ}\left(X\right)$) of all complex-valued (resp., real-valued) continuous functions on X, S ⊂ M a complex (resp., real) function space on X, ϕₙ a sequence of unital linear contractions from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$), and ${\varphi }_{\infty }$ a linear isometry from M into C(Y) (resp., $C_{ℝ}\left(Y\right)$). We show, under the assumption that ${\Pi }_N\subset {\Pi }_T$, where ${\Pi }_N$ is the Choquet...

We study the structure of Lipschitz and Hölder-type spaces and their preduals on general metric spaces, and give applications to the uniform structure of Banach spaces. In particular we resolve a problem of Weaver who asks wether if M is a compact metric space and 0 < α < 1, it is always true the space of Hölder continuous functions of class α is isomorphic to l∞. We show that, on the contrary, if M is a compact convex subset of a Hilbert space this isomorphism holds if and only if...

Let $E$ be a complex Banach space, with the unit ball $B_E$. We study the spectrum of a bounded weighted composition operator $u{C}_{\varphi }$ on $H^{\infty }\left(B_E\right)$ determined by an analytic symbol $\varphi$ with a fixed point in $B_E$ such that $\varphi \left(B_E\right)$ is a relatively compact subset of $E$, where $u$ is an analytic function on $B_E$.

Let ${\left\{\beta \left(n\right)\right\}}_{n=0}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of positive numbers and $1\le p<\infty$. We consider the space $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ of all power series $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }\widehat{f}\left(n\right)z^n$ such that ${\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\left|\widehat{f}\left(n\right)\right|}^p\beta {\left(n\right)}^p<\infty$. We investigate strict cyclicity of $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$, the weakly closed algebra generated by the operator of multiplication by $z$ acting on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$, and determine the maximal ideal space, the dual space and the reflexivity of the algebra $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$. We also give a necessary condition for a composition operator to be bounded on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ when $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$ is strictly cyclic.
