ABSTRACT. A dyadic space S is defined to be a continuous image of {o, l}m for some infinite cardinal number m. We deduce Banach space properties of C(S) and topological properties of S. For example, under certain cardinality restrictions on m, we show: Every dyadic space of topological weight m contains a closed subset homeomorphic to {o, l}m. Every Banach space X isomorphic to an m dimensional subspace of C(S) (for S dyadic) contains a subspace isomorphic to /'(r) where r has cardinality m.Introduction. In this paper we examine the relationships between dyadic spaces S and the Banach spaces C(S) of continuous real valued functions on S. The main result is
