      Ferrer González, María Vicenta; Hernández, Salvador; Tárrega Ruiz, Luis Elsevier (2018-08)
      We extend to metrizable locally compact groups Rosenthal's theorem describing those Banach spaces containing no copy of l1. For that purpose, we transfer to general locally compact groups the notion of interpolation (Io) ...

      Ferrer González, María Vicenta; Hernández, Salvador; Tárrega Ruiz, Luis Elsevier (2017)
      Combining ideas of Troallic [1] and Cascales, Namioka, and Vera [2], we prove several characterizations of almost equicontinuity and hereditarily almost equicontinuity for subsets of metric-valued continuous functions ...

      Hernández, Salvador; Remus, Dieter; Trigos, Javier De Gruyter (2022-09-28)
      It is a Theorem of W. W. Comfort and K. A. Ross that if G is a subgroup of a compact Abelian group, and S denotes those continuous homomorphisms from G to the one-dimensional torus, then the topology on G is the initial ...
