The Eberlein compactum is a specific topological space that is an example of a compact space which is not metrizable. It is constructed using the properties of certain compact sets in the space of continuous functions. More formally, an Eberlein compactum can be described as a subspace of the space of all bounded sequences of real numbers, specifically the closed bounded interval [0,1] or some analogous bounded topological space. The compactum is named after the mathematician P.
