Streszczenie
The paper concerns the problem of whether a nonseparable $\mathcal {C}(K)$ space must contain a set of unit vectors whose cardinality equals the density of $\mathcal {C}(K)$, and such that the distances between any two distinct vectors are always greater than $1$. We prove that this is the case if the density is at most $\mathfrak {c}$, and that for several classes of $\mathcal {C}(K)$ spaces (of arbitrary density) it is even possible to find such a set which is $2$-equilateral, that is, the distance between two distinct vectors is exactly 2.
