Abstract: For a compact space $K$ we denote by $C_w(K)$ ($C_p(K)$) the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$ endowed with the weak (pointwise) topology. In this paper we address the following basic question which seems to be open: Suppose that $K$ is an infinite (metrizable) compact space. Is it true that $C_w(K)$ and $C_p(K)$ are homeomorphic? We show that the answer is "no", provided $K$ is an infinite compact metrizable $C$-space. In particular our proof works for any infinite compact metrizable finite-dimemsional space $K$.

Review text

For a compact space \(K\) we denote by \(C_w(K)\) and \(C_p(K)\) the space of continuous real-valued functions on \(K\) endowed with the weak and the pointwise topology, respectively. The following basic question is treated in this paper: Suppose that \(K\) is an infinite (metrizable) compact space. Can \(C_w(K)\) and \(C_p(k)\) be homeomorphic? It is shown that the answer is ``no, provided \(K\) is an infinite compact metrizable \(C\)-space. The proof works for any infinite compact metrizable finite-dimensional space \(K\). The approach is based on some ideas from \textit{W. Marciszewski} [Mathematika 47, No. 1--2, 273--279 (2000; Zbl 1006.54023)]. However, to deal with the weak topology on \(C(K)\), measures on the compact space \(K\) rather than points of that space, are considered.
