Is the space of Radon measures a Polish space or at least separable?

Background: I work on a SPDE problem where in order to apply Prokhorov's theorem I need that some measure space is Polish space. And additionaly it would be good if that space is Banach space. Earlier ...

A generalization about the density of $\mathcal C_c(X, E)$ in $\mathcal L_p (X, \mu, E)$ when $E$ is a Banach space

Let $X$ be a metric space, $\mu$ a $\sigma$-finite non-negative Borel measure on $X$, and $(E, |\cdot|)$ a Banach space. Let $\mathcal L_p := \mathcal L_p (X, \mu, E)$ and $\|\cdot\|_{\mathcal L_p}$ ...

Let $E$ be Banach, $\mu_n\to\mu$ weakly on a locally compact $X$, and $f \in C_b(X, E)$. Does $\int f\mathrm d\mu_n\to\int f\mathrm d\mu$ in norm?

Let $X$ be a metric space, $(E, |\cdot|)$ a Banach space $\mathcal M(X)$ the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$, $\mathcal C_b(X)$ be the space of real-valued bounded continuous ...

Are Hölder functions between Banach spaces residual in the compact-open topology?

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). ...

Conditions on the inequality with a gauge norm

Let $\Phi(x)=\int_0^x \phi(y)\,dy$, $x \in \mathbb{R}_+$, be an N-function, and let $u$ be locally inferable on $\mathbb{R}_+$. Consider the gauge norm $$ \rho_{\Phi,u}(f)=\inf\{\lambda>0: \int_{\...

In infinite dimensions, is it possible that convergence of distances to a sequence always implies convergence of that sequence?

This is a cross-posted on MSE here. Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. Say that $x_n\in X$ is a P-sequence if $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}d(x_n,y)$ converges for every $y\in X.$ Say that $(X,d)$ is P-...

Example of a nonconvex Chebyshev set in a metric space with continuous projection?

Question: Is there an example of a nonconvex Chebyshev set $S$ in a metric space $(X,d)$ whose projection map is continuous? For convexity to be well-defined, we need to assume that $X$ is a vector ...

Criteria for $\epsilon$-Density

Let $Y$ be a compact, separable metric space and $X=C(Y)$ Banach space. There are many criteria for a linear subspace $Z\subseteq X$ to be dense; notably the Stone-Weierstraß theorem. Are there ...

Known Lipschitz-free spaces

The Lipschitz-Free space (also known as Arens-Eells spaces) $\mathcal{F}(X,d)$ over a pointed metric space $(X,d)$ is a well-studied object. In many instances, we have "concrete" representations of ...

Continuous Left-inverse of Dirac Lipschitz-Free Space

Let $X$ be a separable pointed metric space and let $AE(X)$ denote the corresponding Lipschitz-Free (or Arens-Eells space) over $X$. The point-evaluation map $\delta:X\mapsto AE(X)$ is injective ...

$\ell_1$ and $\ell_\infty$ as complementary subspaces of Banach space

Let $X$ be a Banach space, and let $X'\subset X$ - its subspace. Then the following propositions are true: $X'$ is closed, $X/X' \cong \ell_1 \Rightarrow X'$ is complementary; $X' \cong \ell_\infty ...

Is $\ell_p$ $(1<p<\infty)$ finitely isometrically distortable?

Let $Y$ be a Banach space isomorphic to $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty$. Is it true that any finite subset of $\ell_p$ is isometric to some finite subset of $Y$? It seems to me that it is an interesting ...

Under what conditions can we put a complete norm on a linear subspace of a separable Banach space?

Question 1 Let $X$ a separable Banach Space and $Y\subset X$ linear subspace. When can we put a norm on $Y$ in such a way so that $Y$ is a Banach space? Clearly if $Y$ is closed in the norm topology ...

Non-separable Banach space

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-...
