We show that for "most" compact non metrizable spaces, the unit ball of the Banach space C(K) contains an uncountable 2-equilateral set. We also give examples of compact non metrizable spaces K such that the minimum cardinality of a maximal equilateral set in C(K) is countable. γ∈Γ K γ of nontrivial compact metric 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 46B20, 46E15;Secondary 46B26,54D30. Key words and phrases: equilateral set, maximal equilateral set, linked family.2. Let K be a compact totally disconnected space, then the family {(V, K \V ) :V is a clopen subset of K} is linked.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
