Abstract

We characterize Birkhoff-James orthogonality of continuous vector-valued functions on a compact topological space. As an application of our investigation, Birkhoff-James orthogonality of real bilinear forms are studied. This allows us to present an elementary proof of the well-known Bhatia-Šemrl Theorem in the real case.
