Abstract: The dual space of the C*-algebra of bounded uniformly continuous functions on a uniform space carries several natural topologies. One of these is the topology of uniform convergence on bounded uniformly equicontinuous sets, or the UEB topology for short. In the particular case of a topological group and its right uniformity, the UEB topology plays a significant role in the continuity of convolution. In this paper we derive a useful characterisation of bounded uniformly equicontinuous sets on locally compact groups. Then we demonstrate that for every locally compact group G the UEB topology on the space of finite Radon measures on G coincides with the right multiplier topology. In this sense the UEB topology is a generalisation to arbitrary topological groups of the multiplier topology for locally compact groups. In the final section we prove results about UEB continuity of convolution.

Review text

The authors obtain the following factorisation theorem: On a locally compact group \(G\) a set \(\mathcal F\) of functions \(G\to\mathbb C\) is equi-left uniformly continuous iff there is an \(f\in L^1(G)\) and a bounded set \(\mathcal H\) in LUC (bounded left uniformly continuous functions) such that \(\mathcal F=f*\mathcal H\). It follows that the right multiplier topology on \(M(G)\) (Radon measures on \(G\)) is the relative topology of \(LUC(G)^*\) when endowed with the UEB-topology induced by uniform convergence on equi-LUC sets. Furthermore joint continuity of convolution of \(LUC(G)^*\times B\to LUC(G)^*\) for a bounded subset \(B\) of \(LUC(G)\) is shown for SIN groups and at points \((m,n)\) with \(m\in M(G)\).
