[Banach] Abstract of a paper by Jesus Araujo

This is an announcement for the paper "Examples and counterexamples
of type I isometric shifts" by Jesus Araujo.


Abstract: We provide examples of nonseparable spaces $X$ for which
$C(X)$ admits an isometric shift of type I, which solves in the
negative a problem proposed by Gutek {\em et al.} (J. Funct. Anal.
{\bf 101} (1991), 97-119). We also give two independent methods for
obtaining separable examples. The first one allows us in particular
to construct examples with infinitely many nonhomeomorphic components
in a subset of the Hilbert space $\ell^2$. The second one applies
for instance to sequences adjoined to any $n$-dimensional compact
manifold (for $n \ge 2$) or to the Sierpi\'nski curve. The combination
of both techniques lead to different examples involving a convergent
sequence adjoined to the Cantor set: one method for the case when
the sequence converges to a point in the Cantor set, and the other
one for the case when it converges outside.
