When is the Isbell topology a group topology?

Abstract: Conditions on a topological space X under which the space C(X,mathbbR) of continuous real-valued maps with the Isbell topology kappa is a topological group (topological vector space) are investigated. It is proved that the addition is jointly continuous at the zero function in Ckappa(X,mathbbR) if and only if X is infraconsonant. This property is (formally) weaker than consonance, which implies that the Isbell and the compact-open topologies coincide. It is shown the translations are continuous in Ckappa(X,mathbbR) if and only if the Isbell topology coincides with the fine Isbell topology. It is proved that these topologies coincide if X is prime (that is, with at most one non-isolated point), but do not even for some sums of two consonant prime spaces.
