Multipliers of modules of continuous vector-valued functions (Q1724034)

Summary: In [Pac. J. Math. 11, 1131--1149 (1961; Zbl 0127.33302)], \textit{J.-K. Wang} showed that if \(A\) is the commutative \(C^*\)-algebra \(C_0(X)\) with \(X\) a locally compact Hausdorff space, then \(M(C_0(X)) \cong C_b(X)\). Later, this type of characterization of multipliers of spaces of continuous scalar-valued functions has also been generalized to algebras and modules of continuous vector-valued functions by several authors. In this paper, we obtain further extension of these results by showing that \[\text{H} \text{o} \text{m}_{C_0(X, A)}(C_0(X, E), C_0(X, F)) \simeq C_{s, b}(X, \text{H} \text{o} \text{m}_A(E, F)),\] where \(E\) and \(F\) are \(p\)-normed spaces which are also essential isometric left \(A\)-modules with \(A\) being a certain commutative \(F\)-algebra, not necessarily locally convex. Our results unify and extend several known results in the literature.
