Weakly compact operators and U-additive measures (Q5930091)

Let \(X\) be a completely regular Hausdorff space. Let \({\mathcal B}\) be the algebra of subsets of \(X\) generated by zero sets \(Z= f^{-1}(0)\), where \(f\) is a real-valued continuous function defined on \(X\). Let \(E\) and \(F\) be real locally convex Hausdorff spaces. \(C_b(X, E)\) is the space of \(E\)-valued continuous and bounded functions defined on \(X\). \(C_{rc}(X, E)\) is the space of all of \(f\in C(X,E)\) for which \(f(X)\) is relatively compact. The authors introduce the spaces \(M(X,{\mathcal L}(E, F))\), \(M_\tau(X,{\mathcal L}(E< F))\) and \(M_\infty(X,{\mathcal L}(E, F))\) of finitely-additive, \({\mathcal L}(E, F)\)-valued measure defined on \({\mathcal B}\) and they introduce also the topologies \(u\), \(\beta_u'\) and \(\beta'\) on \(C_b(X, E)\). The following results are given: 1) If \(T\) is a continuous weakly compact operator from \((C_{rc}(X, E),u)\) into \(F\) there is a unique \(m\) in \(M(X,{\mathcal L}(E, F))\) such that every \(f\) in \(C_{rc}(X, E)\) is \(m\)-integrable and \(Tf= \int_X f dm\). 2) Let \(T\) be a \(F\)-valued, weakly compact and \(\beta_u'\)-continuous operator on \(C_b(X,E)\), where \(F\) in addition, complete. Then there is a unique \(m\) in \(M_\infty(X,{\mathcal L}(E, F))\) such that every \(f\) in \(C_B(X,E)\) is \(m\)-integrable and \(Tf= \int_X f dm\). 3) Let \(T\) be a \(F\)-valued, weakly compact and \(\beta'\)-continuous operator on \(C_b(X, E)\), where \(F\) is, in addition, complete. Then there is a unique \(m\) in \(M_\tau(X,{\mathcal L}(E, F))\) such that every \(f\) in \(C_b(X, E)\) is \(m\)-integrable and \(Tf= \int_X f dm\).
