For instance: $D$ turns every canonical embedding (in the second dual space) into a retraction (of the third dual onto the first one); $D$ rises the countably infinite (algebraic) dimension only; $D$ does not change the finite quotient shape type. By means of that, the finite quotient shape classification of normed vectorial spaces is completely solved. As a consequence, two extension type theorems are derived.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-15T11:05:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "normed spaces", "finite quotient shape classification", "finite quotient shape type", "second dual space", "extension type theorems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
