Separate and Joint Continuity

Separate and Joint Continuity presents and summarises the main ideas and theorems that have been developed on this topic, which lies at the interface between General Topology and Functional Analysis (and the geometry of Banach spaces in particular). The book offers detailed, self-contained proofs of many of the key results.

Although the development of this area has now slowed to a point where an authoritative book can be written, many important and significant problems remain open, and it is hoped that this book may serve as a springboard for future and emerging researchers into this area. Furthermore, it is the strong belief of the authors that this area of research is ripe for exploitation. That is to say, it is their belief that many of the results contained in this monograph can, and should be, applied to other areas of mathematics. It is hoped that this monograph may provide an easily accessible entry point to the main results on separate and joint continuity for mathematicians who are not directly working in this field, but who may be able to exploit some of the deep results that have been developed over the past 125 years.
