The classification of $C(K)$ spaces for countable compacta by positive isomorphisms

We study the classification of spaces of continuous functions $C(K)$ under positive linear maps. For infinite countable compacta, we show that whenever $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic, there exists an isomorphism $T:C(K)\to C(L)$ satisfying either $T\ge 0$ or $T^{-1}\ge 0$. We also prove that for any compact spaces $K$ and $L$, the existence of a positive embedding $T:C(K)\to C(L)$ implies that the Cantor-Bendixson height of $K$ does not exceed the height of $L$. Furthermore, we introduce a one-sided positive Banach-Mazur distance and obtain new estimates for both the classical and positive distances. Notably, we prove the exact formula $d_{BM}(C({\omega }^{{\omega }^{\alpha }}),C({\omega }^{{\omega }^{\alpha }n}))=n+\sqrt{(n-1)(n+3)}$.
