Kadec Norms on Spaces of Continuous Functions
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 46B03, 46B26. Secondary: 46E15, 54C35. We study the existence of pointwise Kadec renormings for Banach spaces of the form C(K). We show in particular that such a renorming exists when K is any product of compact linearly ordered spaces, extending the result for a single factor due to Haydon, Jayne, Namioka and Rogers. We show that if C(K1) has a pointwise Kadec renorming and K2 belongs to the class of spaces obtained by closing the class...
