Assume that $X$ is metrizable. It has recently been shown by the first two authors that the following conditions are equivalent: (1) $X$ is hereditarily almost equicontinuous; (2) $X$ is hereditarily non-sensitive; (3) for any compatible metric $d$ on $X$ the metric $d_G(x,y):=\\sup\\{d(gx,gy): g\\in G\\}$ defines a separable topology on $X$; (4) the dynamical system $(G,X)$ admits a proper representation on an Asplund Banach space. We prove that these conditions are also equivalent to the following: the enveloping semigroup $E(X)$ is metrizable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2006-09-26T16:51:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54H20", "22A25", "22F05", "37B05", "46B10", "46B22", "54H15" ], "keywords": [ "metrizable enveloping semigroups", "compact space", "asplund banach space", "proper representation", "equivalent" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......6373G" } } }
