This paper is motivated by work in two fields, the theory of strict topologies and topological measure theory. In [1], R. C. Buck began the study of the strict topology for the algebra C*(S) of continuous, bounded real-valued functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space S and showed that the topological vector space C*(S) with the strict topology has many of the same topological vector space properties as C0(S), the sup norm algebra of continuous realvalued functions vanishing at infinity. Buck showed that as a class, the algebras C*(S) for S locally compact and C*(X), for X compact, were very much alike. Many papers on the strict topology for C*(S), where S is locally compact, followed Buck's; e.g., see [2; 3].

AbstractThe general properties of lattice-perfect measures are discussed. The relationship between countable compactness and measure perfectness, and the relationship between lattice-measure tightness and lattice-measure perfectness are investigated and several applications in topological measure theory are given.

AbstractWe study operator algebras with contractive approximate identities and their double centralizer algebras. These operator algebras can be characterized as L∞- Banach algebras with contractive approximate identities. We provide two examples, which show that given a non-unital operator algebra A with a contractive approximate identity, its double centralizer algebra M(A) may admit different operator algebra matrix norms, with which M(A) contains A as an M-ideal. On the other hand, we show that there is a unique operator algebra matrix norm on the unitalization algebra A1 of A such that A1 contains A as an M-ideal.

The basic integration theory of Radon measures on locally compact spaces, as described in (5), has been developed in various directions both in commutative and non-commutative analysis. Thus if Ω is a compact Hausdorff space, and C(Ω) denotes the space of continuous complex-valued functions on Ω, Kaplan (16) showed how topological measure theory can be performed in the second dual C(Ω)** of C(Ω). Here as usual C(Ω)* is identified with the space of Radon measures on Ω by associating with a measure μ the linear functional φμ whereThus if f is a bounded real-valued function on Ω, there is an affine function f* defined on the set P(Ω) of Radon probability measures μ on Ω, byand f* extends by linearity to a functional in C(Ω)**. Conversely any function x on P(Ω) determines a function x0 on Ω. bywehere εω is the unit point of mass at ω.
