Asymptotic normality of extreme value estimators on $C[0,1]$
  Consider $n$ i.i.d. random elements on $C[0,1]$. We show that, under an appropriate strengthening of the domain of attraction condition, natural estimators of the extreme-value index, which is now a continuous function, and the normalizing functions have a Gaussian process as limiting distribution. A key tool is the weak convergence of a weighted tail empirical process, which makes it possible to obtain the results uniformly on $[0,1]$. Detailed examples are also presented.
