Abstract

top
A condensation is a one-to-one continuous mapping onto. It is shown that the space C p ( X ) of real-valued continuous functions on X in the topology of pointwise convergence very often cannot be condensed onto a compact Hausdorff space. In particular, this is so for any non-metrizable Eberlein compactum X (Theorem 19). However, there exists a non-metrizable compactum X such that C p ( X ) condenses onto a metrizable compactum (Theorem 10). Several curious open problems are formulated.
