Strict topology on locally compact groups (Q530199)

Through this paper let \(G\) be a locally compact group, \(A\) a subalgebra of the measure algebra \(M(G)\), and \(\Gamma\) a family of Borel subsets of \(G\) that is closed under finite unions. The authors in this paper at first investigate when, for a locally compact Hausdorff space \(X\), and a \(\cup\)-closed Borel family \(\Gamma\) (i.e. a family of Borel subsets of \(X\) that is closed under finite unions), the topology \(\tau_\Gamma\) (i.e. \(\mu_\alpha\) is \(\tau_\Gamma\)-convergent to zero, if and only if, for each \(A \in \Gamma\), \(|\mu_\alpha|(A) \to 0)\) and the strict topology \(\beta_\Gamma\) (i.e. the locally convex topology generated by seminorms \(\mu\to \sup_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\frac{|\mu|(A_n)}{r_n}\), where \((A_n)\) is a sequence in \(\Gamma\), and \(0 <r_n\to \infty)\) on \(M(X)\) are defined. Also the strict continuity of bounded linear maps on \(M(X)\) is investigated. In the second part, they prove that the family \(F\) (the family of all Borel \(\lambda\)-finite subsets of \(G\), where \(\lambda\) is a left Haar measure on \(G\)) is cancellative (i.e. for each \(A, B\in \Gamma\), there exists \(C\in \Gamma\), such that \(A^{-1}B, BA^{-1}\subseteq C\)), if and only if \(G\) is compact or discrete for a subalgebra \(A\) of \(M(G)\).
