Noncompactness and noncompleteness in isometries of Lipschitz spaces

We solve the following three questions concerning surjective linear isometries between spaces of Lipschitz functions $\mathrm{Lip}(X,E)$ and $\mathrm{Lip}(Y,F)$, for strictly convex normed spaces $E$ and $F$ and metric spaces $X$ and $Y$: \begin{enumerate} \item Characterize those base spaces $X$ and $Y$ for which all isometries are weighted composition maps. \item Give a condition independent of base spaces under which all isometries are weighted composition maps. \item Provide the general form of an isometry, both when it is a weighted composition map and when it is not. \end{enumerate} In particular, we prove that requirements of completeness on $X$ and $Y$ are not necessary when $E$ and $F$ are not complete, which is in sharp contrast with results known in the scalar context.

Biseparating maps between Lipschitz function spaces

For complete metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, a description of linear biseparating maps between spaces of vector-valued Lipschitz functions defined on $X$ and $Y$ is provided. In particular it is proved that $X$ and $Y$ are bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic, and the automatic continuity of such maps is derived in some cases. Besides, these results are used to characterize the separating bijections between scalar-valued Lipschitz function spaces when $Y$ is compact.

Stability and instability of weighted composition operators

Let $ε>0$. A continuous linear operator $T:C(X) \ra C(Y)$ is said to be {\em $ε$-disjointness preserving} if $\vc (Tf)(Tg)\vd_{\infty} \le ε$, whenever $f,g\in C(X)$ satisfy $\vc f\vd_{\infty} =\vc g\vd_{\infty} =1$ and $fg\equiv 0$. In this paper we address basically two main questions: 1.- How close there must be a weighted composition operator to a given $ε$-disjointness preserving operator? 2.- How far can the set of weighted composition operators be from a given $ε$-disjointness preserving operator? We address these two questions distinguishing among three cases: $X$ infinite, $X$ finite, and $Y$ a singleton ($ε$-disjointness preserving functionals). We provide sharp stability and instability bounds for the three cases.

Multiplicative bijections of semigroups of interval-valued continuous functions

We characterize all compact and Hausdorff spaces $X$ which satisfy that for every multiplicative bijection $ϕ$ on $C(X, I)$, there exist a homeomorphism $μ: X \to X$ and a continuous map $p: X \to (0, +\infty)$ such that $$ϕ(f) (x) = f(μ(x))^{p(x)}$$ for every $f \in C(X,I)$ and $x \in X$. This allows us to disprove a conjecture of Marovt (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. {\bf 134} (2006), 1065-1075). Some related results on other semigroups of functions are also given.

Examples and counterexamples of type I isometric shifts

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 Sierpiński 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.

Automatic continuity of biseparating maps

We prove that a biseparating map between spaces of vector-valued continuous functions is usually automatically continuous. However, we also discuss special cases when it is not true.

Realcompactness and spaces of vector-valued functions

It is shown that the existence of a biseparating map between a large class of spaces of vector-valued continuous functions A(X,E) and A(Y,F) implies that some compactifications of X and Y are homeomorphic. In some cases, conditions are given to warrant the existence of a homeomorphism between the realcompactifications of X and Y; in particular we find remarkable differences with respect to the scalar context: namely, if E and F are infinite-dimensional and T is a biseparating map between the space of E-valued bounded continuous functions on X and that of F-valued bounded continuous functions on Y, then the realcompactifications of X and Y are homeomorphic.

Realcompactness and Banach-Stone theorems

For realcompact spaces X and Y we give a complete description of the linear biseparating maps between spaces of vector-valued continuous functions on X and Y, where special attention is paid to spaces of vector-valued bounded continuous functions. These results are applied to describe the linear isometries between spaces of vector-valued bounded continuous and uniformly continuous functions.

Isometric shifts and metric spaces

Let M be a complete metric space. It is proved that if the space or scalar-valued bounded continuous functions on M admits an isometric shift, then M is separable.
