*Definition [#s812c5be]
-A compact Hausdorff set K is called Rosenthal-Banach compact, if there is a polish space X and a Banach space E so that K is homeomorphic with a compact subset of B_1(X,E) in the topology of [[pointwise-weak convergence]], where B_1(X,E) is the set of functions which there is a sequence &ref(http://www.eaflux.com/imgtex/imgtex.fcgi?%5bres=100%5d%7b%5c%5b%20%28f_n%29_%7bn%5cin%5cmathbb%7bN%7d%7d%2c%5c%20f_n:X%5cto%28E%2c%5c%7c%5ccdot%5c%7c%29%20%5c%5d%7d%25.png); continuous for every n ∈ N, such that if t ∈ X then &ref(http://www.eaflux.com/imgtex/imgtex.fcgi?%5bres=100%5d%7b%5c%5b%20%5clim%20%5cmbox%7b%7d_%7bn%5cto%20p%7d%5c%7cf_n%28t%29-f%28t%29%5c%7c=0.%20%5c%5d%7d%25.png);

*Property [#ke939f15]
-Every classical [[Rosenthal compact]] is Rosenthal-Banach compact (put E=R).
-Every [[Eberlein compact]] is Rosenthal-Banach compact (take for M a one point set).
-Every [[Gul'ko compact]] is a Rosenthal-Banach compact.
