A linear operator \(T\) on a Banach space \(E\) is a \textit{shift} provided (i) \(T\) is an isometry, (ii) \(T(E)\) has co-dimension one, (iii) \(\bigcap_{n\geq 1} T^n(E)=\{0\}\), where \(0\) is the zero element of \(E\). For a compact \(X\), let \(C_R(X)\) (resp. \(C_C(X)\)) denote the Banach space of real-valued (resp. complex-valued) continuous functions on \(X\) with the sup-norm; \(X\) is said to have a real (complex) shift provided \(C_R(X)\) (resp. \(C_C(X)\)) has a shift. Moreover, \(X\) is said to have no shift provided it has neither a real nor a complex shift. The authors show that every compact zero-dimensional metric space \(X\), with either no isolated points, or infinitely many isolated points, has a complex shift. If \(X\) is a disjoint union of a compact infinite scattered metric space (resp. a nonempty finite scattered metric space), and the Cantor set, then \(X\) has a real shift (resp. \(X\) has no shift).
