On compacta \(K\) for which \(C(K)\) has some good renorming properties. In honour of Manuel López-Pellicer (Q2337498): Difference between revisions

This paper is concerned with \(C(K)\) spaces and pointwise lower semicontinuous Kadets or locally uniformly rotund renormings on them. The starting point is the fact that, if a \(C(K)\) space admits some of such equivalent norms then this space, endowed with the pointwise topology, has a countable cover by sets of small local norm-diameter (SLD). Then the author surveys some methods appearing in the literature to prove that some \(C(K)\) spaces have SLD. The paper is well written and offers a number of open problems. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1419.46002].
