Abstract

The purpose of this short note is to reformulate theorem 9·3 in [5] which is not correct as stated. We note that all other results in [5] are independent of that statement.

The notation is the same as [5] with the sole exception that C0(S) will always denote the space of all real-valued continuous functions on the locally compact space S vanishing at infinity. As usual, αS stands for the one-point compactification of S. Recall that a norm ‖ · ‖ on a Banach space X is said to be maximal if there is no equivalent norm on X whose isometry group contains properly that of ‖ · ‖.
