Strict topologies on spaces of continuous functions and \(u\)-additive measure spaces (Q1269632): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be a completely regular Hausdorff space, \(E\) a locally convex Hausdorff space, and \(C_b(X, E)\) the space of all bounded continuous mappings from \(X\) into \(E\). We put \(C_b(X, E)= C_b(X)\) in case \(E\) is the real line. The author studies topologies for \(C_b(X, E)\) defined by inductive limits of seminorms determined by certain compact subsets of \(\beta X\smallsetminus X\). Two of this main results are that (i) \(C_b(X)\otimes E\) is dense in \(C_b(X, E)\) and (ii) the dual space of \(C_b(X, E)\) is isomorphic to a certain family of \(E'\)-valued additive measures on the zero sets of \(X\), where \(E'\) is the dual of \(E\). He first proves these results by assuming that \(E\) is a normed space, then drops this assumptions and derives them again by somewhat different methods. A reference to the source of Proposition 3.7 would help the reader; the author says that it is known but gives no source.
