We link here distances between iterated limits, oscillations, and distances to spaces of continuous functions. For a compact space K, a uniformly bounded set H of the space of real-valued continuous functions C(K), and ε 0, we say that H ε-interchanges limits with K, if the inequality lim n lim m f m (x n ) − lim m
We investigate the following problem posed by Cabello Sanchéz, Castillo, Kalton, and Yost:Let K be a nonmetrizable compact space. Does there exist a nontrivial twisted sum of c 0 and C(K), i.e., does there exist a Banach space X containing a non-complemented copy Z of c 0 such that the quotient space X/Z is isomorphic to C(K)?Using additional set-theoretic assumptions we give the first examples of compact spaces K providing a negative answer to this question. We show that under Martin's axiom and the negation of the continuum hypothesis, if either K is the Cantor cube 2 ω1 or K is a separable scattered compact space of height 3 and weight ω 1 , then every twisted sum of c 0 and C(K) is trivial.We also construct nontrivial twisted sums of c 0 and C(K) for K belonging to several classes of compacta. Our main tool is an investigation of pairs of compact spaces K ⊆ L which do not admit an extension operator C(K) → C(L).
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.
