Is $c$ isomorphic to $c_0$?












1














I want to prove that $c(k)$ and $c_0(k)$ are isomorphic.

It is easy to find a linear map $u$ given by $u(lbrace x_krbrace)=lbrace x_k-lim x_krbrace in c_0(k)$, and show that this is a surjection. But I couldn't find the constants $alpha ,beta$ such that
$alpha |x_n|_{sup}leq|u(x_n)|_{sup}leqbeta|x_n|_{sup}$, here $k$ is in $mathbb{R}$ or $mathbb{C}$.

Any help is welcome.

  • Your map is not an injection; it sends any constant sequence to $0$. Also, your terminology could use some clarification: what is $k$? What does "isomorphic" mean, isomorphic as topological vector spaces?

No, there is no $alpha > 0$ satisfying the inequality for all sequences ${x_n}$. To see, this consider the case when the ${x_n}$ are positive real numbers converging to 0 and $k$ is a positive real constant, and for convenience, let $x = |x_n|_{sup}$, then $| x_n + k |_{sup} = x + k$. So your inequality becomes for ${x_n + k}, alpha(x + k) le x$. Therefore $(alpha - 1)x +alpha k le 0$. By letting $k gg x$, we see that this would require $alpha le 0$.






share|cite|improve this answer























  • More simply, instead of taking a sequence of positive numbers converging to $0$, just let $x_n=0$ for all $n$ (i.e., you are just looking at any nonzero constant sequence).
    – Eric Wofsey
    Sep 22 '15 at 2:21












  • True - I was avoiding the $0$ sequence because I was thinking it would zero out the inequality, but I failed to notice that after adding $k$, that was no longer true.

  • Well, since I still am not absolutely sure what $c$ and $c_0$ are, that is hard to say. I am guessing that $c$ is the set of all convergents sequences in $Bbb K$, and $c_0$ are sequences that convege to 0, both supplied with the sup norm. Is this correct?
