Sequential compactness via Arzela-Ascoli theorem for uniform state spaces

Let $X$ be a uniform topological space and $C([0,1],X)$ the space of continuous functions from [0,1] to $X$. Assume that for subsets of $X$ sequential compactness and compactness are equivalent. Let $(...

Uniform approximation over compacts using weighted function spaces

I'm interested in approximations over the so-called weighted function spaces. Let $(X,\tau_X)$ be some completely regular Hausdorff topological space. Additionally, consider some map $\psi: X \to (0,\...

When a compact subset of a TVS can be continuously projected on a closed linear subspace?

Let $V$ be a (Hausdorff) topological vector space, $W\subset V$ a closed linear subspace, $X\subset V $ a compact. (Q): When there is a continuous map $P:X\to W$ such that $P(x)=x$ for every $x\in X\...

Which closed subsets $Y$ of a compact space $X$ admit a linear extensor $C(Y)\to C(X)$?

In the following $X$ is a Hausdorff compact topological space. Let $Y$ be a closed subset of $X$. The restriction operator $R_Y:C(X)\to C(Y)$ is surjective (Tietze), so it admits a continuous right ...

Arzelà-Ascoli for $C_b(0,1)$? Or more generally, why is that continuous functions "live most naturally" on compact spaces?

I’m wondering if there is a version of Arzelà-Ascoli for continuous functions on not-necessarily compact metric/Hausdorff spaces $X$, i.e. a characterization of the compact subsets of $C_b(X)$ (under ...

Is the set of compact operators closed with the strong topology?

It is well-known that the space of compact operators over Banach spaces is closed within the norm topology. My question: Let $X$ be a Banach space. Considering the strong topology (defined by ...

Relative compactness... but what is the toplogy?

The following Theorem was described in a text I was reading as a compactness result. The proof is probably too advanced for me but I was just wondering with respect to what topology we have ...

On weak compactness of the unit ball in a reflexive Banach space

It is a well known result in functional analysis that a Banach space $X$ is reflexive if and only if the unit ball is weakly compact (compact in the weak topology). This result is also known as ...

Covering compactness in the weak sequential topology

Let $X$ be a real Banach space. Apart from the norm topology, we can consider the following weak topologies on $X$: the weak toplogy, defined as the initial topology with respect to $X^*$. In other ...
