There is a theorem stating that every metric space embeds isometrically into $\ell _{\infty}$. My question: is there a generalized result for pseudo metric spaces embedding isometrically into semi-...

Let $V$ be a Fréchet topological vector space. Let $K_0$ and $K_1$ be two closed subsets which are disjoint. I wish to show the existence of a Fréchet-smooth function $f:V\to [0,1]$ whose restriction ...

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces and let $C(X,Y)$ be the set of continuous functions from $X$ to $Y$ equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets (i.e. the compact-open topology). ...

It is known that each metric space $X$ embeds isometrically in the Banach space $\ell_\infty(X)$ of bounded (not necessarily continuous) functions $X \to \mathbb R$. Since $\ell_\infty(X)$ does not ...

Let $I$ be a set and $\mathcal{U}$ be an ultrafilter on $I$. Suppose that $(X_{i}, d_{i})_{i\in I}$ is a family of pointed metric spaces with a distinguished point $e_{i}$ for each $i\in I$. We set $$...

The vector space $C_b(\mathbb R)$ of bounded continuous functions on $\mathbb R$ is non-separable: it is possible to produce a direct proof of this fact, mimicking the standard proof for the non-...
