- Banach–Stone theorem
In
mathematics , the Banach–Stone theorem is a classical result in the theory ofcontinuous function s ontopological space s, named after themathematician sStefan Banach and Marshall Stone.tatement of the theorem
For a topological space "X", let "C"b("X"; R) denote the normed vector space of continuous, real-valued,
bounded function s "f" : "X" → R equipped with thesupremum norm ||·||∞. For acompact space "X", "C"b("X"; R) is the same as "C"("X"; R), the space of all continuous functions "f" : "X" → R.Let "X" and "Y" be compact,
Hausdorff space s and let "T" : "C"("X"; R) → "C"("Y"; R) be a surjectivelinear isometry . Then there exists ahomeomorphism "φ" : "Y" → "X" and "g" ∈ "C"("Y"; R) with:
and

Generalizations
The Banach–Stone theorem has some generalizations for vector-valued continuous functions on compact, Hausdorff topological spaces. For example, if "E" is a
Banach space with trivial centralizer and "X" and "Y" are compact, then every linear isometry of "C"("X"; "E") onto "C"("Y"; "E") is astrong Banach–Stone map .References
