Abstract

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space and C(K) the Banach space of all real-valued continuous functions on K, with the sup-norm. Types over C(K) (in the sense of Krivine and Maurey) can be uniquely represented by pairs (,u) of bounded real-valued functions on K, where is lower semicontinuous, u is upper semicontinuous, u, and (x)=u(x) for all isolated points x of K. A condition that characterizes the pairs (,u) that represent double-dual types over C(K) is given.
