## Three mapping theorems.(English)Zbl 0178.25901

The author proves a theorem on the isometric imbedding of a metric space in a Banach space and derives from this theorem a result on continuous selections. The latter is the first theorem of this kind in which the range is nonmetrizable. It goes as follows: if $$X$$ is metrizable, if $$M$$ is a metrizable subset of a locally convex space $$F$$, such that the closed convex hull of every compact subset of $$M$$ is compact, and if $$\varphi: X\to 2^N$$ is lower-semicontinuous (i.e. $$\varphi(x)\ne\emptyset$$ and $$\{x\in X; \varphi(x)\cap V \ne\emptyset\}$$ open in $$X$$ for every open $$V\subset M)$$, and if for some metric on $$M$$, every $$\varphi(x)$$ is complete, then there exists a continuous $$f: X\to F$$ such that $$f(x\in \overline{(\operatorname{conv}\varphi(x))}$$ for every $$x\in X$$. Moreover, $$f$$ may be chosen so that, for every compact $$K\subset X$$, $$f(K)\subset \overline{(\operatorname{conv}K')}$$ for some compact $$K' \subset \cup \{\varphi(x); x\in K\}$$.
From this theorem a result on linear mappings between function spaces is derived, which generalizes an earlier result of the author [Ann. Math. (2) 63, 361–382 (1956; Zbl 0071.15902)].
