Asplund spaces $C_k(X)$ beyond Banach spaces
Abstract
This paper addresses the Asplund property for the space of continuous functions $C_k(X)$ equipped with the compact-open topology, when $X$ is an arbitrary Tychonoff space. Motivated by inconsistent definitions in prior literature extending the Asplund property beyond Banach spaces, we provide a unified and self-contained treatment of core results in this context. A characterization of the Asplund property for $C_k(X)$ is established, alongside a review of classical results, including the Namioka--Phelps theorem and its implications. All proofs are presented in a self-contained manner and rely on standard techniques.
