Abstract: We introduce a classification of locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces with respect to the behavior of

s i g m a

-compact subsets, and relying on this classification we study properties of corresponding

C^{*}

-algebras in terms of frame theory and the theory of

m a t h c a l A

-compact operators in Hilbert

C^{*}

-modules, some pathological examples are constructed.

Review text

A non-unital commutative \(C^*\)-algebra is the algebra \(C_0(X)\) of continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space \(X\). This algebra is considered as a Hilbert \(C^*\)-module over its unitalization, and it is shown how topological properties of \(X\) are reflected in properties of this Hilbert \(C^*\)-module. In particular, if every \(\sigma\)-compact subset of \(X\) is precompact then \(C_0(X)\) has no frames; and if \(X\) is not \(\sigma\)-compact, but has a dense \(\sigma\)-compact subset then \(C_0(X)\) has no standard frames. Some results on compactness of operators in this Hilbert \(C^*\)-module are presented and interesting examples are provided.
