In this note some results concerning the equidistant set E(−x, x) and the kernel Mθ of the metric projection PM, where M is a Chebyshev subspace of a normed linear space X, have been obtained. In particular, when X = lp (1 < p < ∞), it has been proved that every equidistant set is closed in the bw-topology of the space. In c0 no equidistant set has this property.
