Let S be a locally compact (not compact) Hausdorff space satisfying the second axiom of countability and let ℬ be the σ field of all Borel subsets of S and let A be the σ-field of all the subsets of S which, for each finite measure μ defined on (S, A), are in the completed σ field of ℬ relative to μ. We denote by C0 the Banach space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity with the uniform norm and Bk the space of bounded A-measurable functions with compact support in S.

SynopsisIf X is a compact Hausdorff space and E a dual Banach space, let C(X, Eσ*) denote the Banach space of continuous functions F from X to E when the latter space is provided with its weak * topology, normed by . It is shown that if X and Y are extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces and E is a uniformly convex Banach space, then the existence of an isometry between C(X, Eσ*) and C(Y, Eσ*) implies that X and Y are homeomorphic.

AbstractLet C(X, F) be the space of all continuous functions from the ultraregular compact Hausdorff space X into the separated locally K-convex space F; K is a complete, but not necessarily spherically complete, non-Archimedean valued field and C(X, F) is provided with the topology of uniform convergence on X We prove that C(X, F) is K-barrelled (respectively K-quasibarrelled) if and only if F is K-barrelled (respectively K-quasibarrelled) This is not true in the case of R or C-valued functions. No complete characterization of the K-bornological space C(X, F) is obtained, but our results are, nevertheless, slightly better than the Archimedean ones. Finally, we introduce a notion of K-ultrabornological spaces for K non-spherically complete and use it to study K-ultrabornological spaces C(X, F).

1. In this paper, X will always denote a locally compact Hausdorff space, C0(X) the algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions vanishing at infinity on X and B(X) the algebra of all bounded continuous complex-valued functions defined on X. If X is compact, C0(X) is identical to B (X) and all the results of this paper are obvious. Therefore, we will assume at the outset that X is not compact. If A represents an algebra of functions, AR will denote the algebra of all real-valued functions in A.

It is well known (2, 4) that the ring of all real (complex) continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space can be characterized algebraically as a Banach algebra which satisfies certain additional intrinsic conditions. It might be expected that rings of all continuous functions on other topological spaces also have algebraic characterizations. The main purpose of this note is to discuss two such characterizations. In both cases the characterizations are given in the terms of the theory of F-brings (1). In one case a characterization is given for the ring of all (real) continuous functions on a generalized P-space, that is, a zero-dimensional topological space in which the class of open-closed sets forms a σ-algebra. A Hausdorff generalized P-space is a P-space in the terminology of (3). In the other case a theorem of Sikorski (6) is employed to give a characterization of the ring of all (real) continuous functions on an upper X1-compact P-space.

AbstractGiven a commutative semiring with a compatible preorder satisfying a version of the Archimedean property, the asymptotic spectrum, as introduced by Strassen (J. reine angew. Math. 1988), is an essentially unique compact Hausdorff space together with a map from the semiring to the ring of continuous functions. Strassen’s theorem characterizes an asymptotic relaxation of the preorder that asymptotically compares large powers of the elements up to a subexponential factor as the pointwise partial order of the corresponding functions, realizing the asymptotic spectrum as the space of monotone semiring homomorphisms to the nonnegative real numbers. Such preordered semirings have found applications in complexity theory and information theory. We prove a generalization of this theorem to preordered semirings that satisfy a weaker polynomial growth condition. This weaker hypothesis does not ensure in itself that nonnegative real-valued monotone homomorphisms characterize the (appropriate modification of the) asymptotic preorder. We find a sufficient condition as well as an equivalent condition for this to hold. Under these conditions the asymptotic spectrum is a locally compact Hausdorff space satisfying a similar universal property as in Strassen’s work.
