TITLE: Compact = Closed + Bounded + (?)
QUESTION [16 upvotes]: In $\mathbb{R}^n$ we know (Heine-Borel Theorem) that a set is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded.
In $C(X)$ for a compact metric space $X$, we know (corollary of Ascoli-Arzela Theorem) that a set is compact if and only if it is closed, bounded, and equicontinuous.
I am looking for as many examples as I can of other spaces where the extra condition for compactness is known.
Also, I am looking for as many examples as I can of (important) spaces where the extra condition is not currently known.
I am planning on doing some research (under a professor) and I thought this topic was particularly interesting, so I would very much appreciate some examples to start off with, just so I can get a feel for the problem.

REPLY [9 votes]: For Banach spaces, there is a big table in Dunford & Schwartz characterizing compactness of subsets in many different spaces.  
Zev is right that "complete + totally bounded" is the general formulation.  For subset in Banach space, complete holds if and only if closed.  So the question is to characterize total boundedness.
