Abstract: The Isbell, compact-open and point-open topologies on the set C(X,mathbbR) of continuous real-valued maps can be represented as the dual topologies with respect to some collections alpha(X) of compact families of open subsets of a topological space X. Those alpha(X) for which addition is jointly continuous at the zero function in Calpha(X,mathbbR) are characterized, and sufficient conditions for translations to be continuous are found. As a result, collections alpha(X) for which Calpha(X,mathbbR) is a topological vector space are defined canonically. The Isbell topology coincides with this vector space topology if and only if X is infraconsonant. Examples based on measure theoretic methods, that Calpha(X,mathbbR) can be strictly finer than the compact-open topology, are given. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a splitting group topology strictly finer than the compact-open topology.
