Isomorphisms of spaces with large distortion

Let K and S be locally compact Hausdorff spaces and let X be a strictly convex Banach space of finite dimension at least 2. In this paper, we prove that if there exists an isomorphism T from onto satisfying then K and S are homeomorphic. Here denotes the Schäffer constant of X. Even for the classical cases , and , this result is the X‐valued Banach–Stone theorem via isomorphism with the largest distortion that is known so far, namely . On the other hand, it is well known that this result is not true for , even though K and S are compact Hausdorff spaces.
