Rings and subrings of continuous functions with countable range

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Intermediate rings of real valued continuous functions with countable range on a Hausdorff zero-dimensional space X are introduced in this article. Let Sigmac(X) be the family of all such intermediate rings Ac(X)'s which lie between Cc∗(X) and Cc(X). It is shown that the structure space of each Ac(X) is , the Banaschewski compactification of X. X is shown to be a P-space if and only if each ideal in Cc(X) is closed in the mc-topology on it. Furthermore X is realized to be an almost P-space when and only when each maximal ideal/ z-ideal in Cc(X) becomes a z0-ideal. Incidentally within the family of almost P-spaces, Cc(X) is characterized among all the members of Sigmac(X) by virtue of either of these two properties. Equivalent descriptions of pseudocompact condition on X are given via Uc-topology, mc-topology and norm on Cc(X). The article ends with a result which essentially says that z0-ideals in a typical Ac(X) in Sigmac(X) are precisely the contraction of z0-ideals in Cc(X).
