The behaviour of quasi-linear maps on $C(K)$-spaces
Félix Cabello Sánchez, Jesús M. F. Castillo, Alberto Salguero-Alarcón
Abstract
In this paper we combine topological and functional analysis methods to prove that a non-locally trivial quasi-linear map defined on a $C(K)$ must be nontrivial on a subspace isomorphic to $c_0$. We conclude the paper with a few examples showing that the result is optimal, and providing an application to the existence of nontrivial twisted sums of $\ell_1$ and $c_0$.
