Compact polynomials between Banach spaces.
This paper is devoted to several questions concerning linearizations of function spaces. We first consider the relation between linearizations of a given space when it is viewed as a function space over different domains. Then we study the problem of characterizing when a Banach function space admits a Banach linearization in a natural way. Finally, we consider the relevance of compactness properties in linearizations, more precisely, the relation between different compactness properties of a mapping,...
Suppose that A is an algebra of continuous real functions defined on a topological space X. We shall be concerned here with the problem as to whether every nonzero algebra homomorphism φ: A → R is given by evaluation at some point of X, in the sense that there exists some a in X such that φ(f) = f(a) for every f in A. The problem goes back to the work of Michael [19], motivated by the question of automatic continuity of homomorphisms in a symmetric *-algebra. More recently, the problem has been...
