For the subalgebras of absolutely continuous functions on $\\sigma$, it is known that for certain classes of compact sets one obtains a Gelfand--Kolmogorov type result: the function spaces $AC(\\sigma_1)$ and $AC(\\sigma_2)$ are isomorphic if and only if the domain sets $\\sigma_1$ and $\\sigma_2$ are homeomorphic. Our main theorem is that in this case the isomorphism must extend to an isomorphism of the $BV(\\sigma)$ spaces. An application is given to the spectral theory of $AC(\\sigma)$ operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-11T07:15:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46J10", "26B30", "47B40" ], "keywords": [ "isomorphism", "compact set", "gelfand-kolmogorov type result", "function spaces", "domain sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
