\(p\)-adic spaces of continuous functions. II (Q960059)

The author of the paper is one of the specialists on non-archimedean spaces of continuous functions, with a large number of interesting publications on the subject. The present paper is the natural continuation of Part~I [Ann.\ Math.\ Blaise Pascal 15, No.\,1, 109--133 (2008; Zbl 1158.46050)]. Let \(X,Y\) be zero-dimensional Hausdorff topological spaces and let \(E,F\) be Hausdorff locally convex spaces over a complete non-archimedean valued field. Section~1 is devoted to study the space \(C_c(X,E)\) of all continuous functions \(X \rightarrow E\), equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on the compact subsets of \(X\). In this section, the author gives necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of properties of \(X\) and \(E\), in order that \(C_c(X,E)\) satisfies certain barrelledness like properties. Section~2 is devoted to study: - On the one hand, the tensor product of the spaces \(C_b(X,E)\) and \(C_b(Y,F)\) of all continuous functions \(X \rightarrow E\), \(Y \rightarrow F\), for which \(f(X)\), \(f(Y)\) is a bounded subset of \(E, F\) respectively, equipped with their strict topologies \(\beta_0\). This tensor product is described as a \(\beta_0\)-dense subspace of \(C_b(X \times Y, E \otimes F)\). - On the other hand, tensor products of certain spaces of \(E'\)-valued and \(F'\)-valued measures on the algebras \(K(X)\) and \(K(Y)\) of all clopen (i.e., closed and open) subsets of \(X\) and \(Y\), respectively. These tensor products are described as subspaces of the corresponding \((E \otimes F)'\)-valued measures on the algebra \(K(X \times Y)\).
