Banach-Stone theorems for spaces of vector bundle continuous sections (Q2363292): Difference between revisions

Let \(E,F\) be strictly convex, reflexive Banach spaces and \(X,Y\) be compact Hausdorff spaces. Let \(C(X,E)\) denote the space of \(E\)-valued continuous functions equipped with the supremum norm. Banach-Stone-type theorems consider the question of describing surjective isometries between the function spaces in terms of homeomorphisms of the topological spaces and isometries of the underlying Banach spaces; see the author's paper [J. Aust. Math. Soc. 100, No. 3, 349--373 (2016; Zbl 1352.46010)] for some recent results in this direction. In the paper under review, the author considers this question for spaces of continuous sections of Banach space bundles. A standard approach for obtaining a description of surjective isometries is via identifications of the extreme points of the dual unit ball [\textit{B. Brosowski} and \textit{F. Deutsch}, J. Approx. Theory 10, 245--267 (1974; Zbl 0272.41020)]. In this part, the description of the isometries is via a homeomorphism of the Choquet boundaries and a continuous bundle map. Another approach, when one is not assuming reflexivity, is to consider the set of peak points \(X_p = \{p \in X: \|f\| = \|f(p)\| \text{ for some } f \in A\}\). Here, the description of the isometry involves a homeomorphism of the peak sets.
