By the classical Banach-Stone Theorem any surjective isometry between Banach spaces of bounded continuous functions defined on compact sets is given by a homeomorphism of the domains. We prove that the same description applies to isometries of metric spaces of unbounded continuous functions defined on non compact topological spaces.

We present a method for constructing from a given domain representation of a space X with underlying domain D, a domain representation of a subspace of compact subsets of X where the underlying domain is the Plotkin powerdomain of D. We show that this operation is functorial over a category of domain representations with a natural choice of morphisms. We study the topological properties of the space of representable compact sets and isolate conditions under which all compact subsets of X are representable. Special attention is paid to admissible representations and representations of metric spaces.

This chapter introduces and illustrates the concept of a metric (distance measure), and the definition of a metric space. Open, closed, and compact sets are discussed in a general context, and the concepts of separability and completeness introduced. It goes on to look at mappings on metric spaces, examines the important case of function spaces, and treats the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem.

In this paper we prove several results concerning the complexity of a set relative to compact sets. We prove that for any Polish space X and Borel set B ⊆ X, if B is not , then there exists a compact zero-dimensional P ⊆ X such that p ∩ X is not . We also show that it is consistent with ZFC that, for any A ⊆ ωω, if for all compact K ⊆ ωωA ∩ K is , then A is . This generalizes to in place of assuming the consistency of some hypotheses involving determinacy. We give an alternative proof of the following theorem of Saint-Raymond. Suppose X and Y are compact metric spaces and f is a continuous surjection of X onto Y. Then, for any A ⊆ Y, A is in Y iff f−1(A) is in X. The non-trivial part of this result is to show that taking pre-images cannot reduce the Borel complexity of a set. The techniques we use are the definability of forcing and Wadge games.

AbstractThe purpose of this work is two-fold. On the one side, we focus on the space of real convergent sequences c where we study non-weakly compact sets with the fixed point property. Our approach brings a positive answer to a recent question raised by Gallagher et al. in (J Math Anal Appl 431(1):471–481, 2015). On the other side, we introduce a new metric structure closely related to the notion of relative uniform normal structure, for which we show that it implies the fixed point property under adequate conditions. This will provide some stability fixed point results in the context of hyperconvex metric spaces. As a particular case, we will prove that the set $$M=[-1,1]^\mathbb {N}$$ M = [ - 1 , 1 ] N has the fixed point property for d-nonexpansive mappings where $$d(\cdot ,\cdot )$$ d ( · , · ) is a metric verifying certain restrictions. Applications to some Nakano-type norms are also given.

Given metric spaces [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], it is well known that [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] denote the Hausdorff, packing, lower box-counting, and upper box-counting dimension of [Formula: see text], respectively. In this paper, we shall provide examples of compact sets showing that the dimension of the product [Formula: see text] may attain any of the values permitted by the above inequalities. The proof will be based on a study on dimension of products of sets defined by digit restrictions.

AbstractWe give a new definition of topological pressure for arbitrary (non-compact, non-invariant) Borel subsets of metric spaces. This new quantity is defined via a suitable variational principle, leading to an alternative definition of an equilibrium state. We study the properties of this new quantity and compare it with existing notions of topological pressure. We are particularly interested in the situation when the ambient metric space is assumed to be compact. We motivate our definition by applying it to some interesting examples, including the level sets of the pointwise Lyapunov exponent for the Manneville–Pomeau family of maps.
