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.

In 1961, Wang showed that ifAis the commutativeC*-algebraC0(X)withXa locally compact Hausdorff space, thenM(C0(X))≅Cb(X). Later, this type of characterization of multipliers of spaces of continuous scalar-valued functions has also been generalized to algebras and modules of continuous vector-valued functions by several authors. In this paper, we obtain further extension of these results by showing thatHomC0(X,A)(C0(X,E),C0(X,F))≃Cs,b(X,HomA(E,F)),whereEandFarep-normed spaces which are also essential isometric leftA-modules withAbeing a certain commutativeF-algebra, not necessarily locally convex. Our results unify and extend several known results in the literature.

In this paper, we prove that if is an increasing sequence of strictly positive and continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space X such that then the Fréchet space C(X) is distinguished if and only if it satisfies Heinrich's density condition, or equivalently, if and only if the sequence satisfies condition (H) (cf. e.g.‵[1] for the introduction of (H)). As a consequence, the bidual λ∞(A) of the distinguished Köthe echelon space λ0(A) is distinguished if and only if the space λ1(A) is distinguished. This gives counterexamples to a problem of Grothendieck in the context of Köthe echelon spaces.

For a locally compact Hausdorff space K and a Banach space X, let C0K,X be the Banach space of all X-valued continuous functions defined on K, which vanish at infinite provided with the sup norm. If X is ℝ, we denote C0K,X as C0K. If AK be an extremely regular subspace of C0K and T:AK⟶C0S,X is an into isomorphism, what can be said about the set-theoretical or topological properties of K and S? Answering the question, we will prove that if X contains no copy of c0, then the cardinality of K is less than that of S. Moreover, if TT−1<3 and AK is also a subalgebra of C0K, the cardinality of the αth derivative of K is less than that of the αth derivative of S, for each ordinal α. Finally, if λX>1 and TT−1<λX, then K is a continuous image of a subspace of S. Here, λX is the geometrical parameter introduced by Jarosz in 1989: λX=infmaxx+λy:λ=1:x=y=1. As a consequence, we improve classical results about into isomorphisms from extremely regular subspaces already obtained by Cengiz.

Let $S$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space and let $A$ be a Banach algebra. Denote by $C_0(S, A)$ the Banach algebra of all $A$-valued continuous functions vanishing at infinity on $S$. Properties of bounded linear operators on $C_0(S,A)$, like multiplicativity, are characterized by Choy in terms of their representing measures. We study these theorems and give sharper results in certain cases.

Banach (1, pp. 242-243) defines, for two Banach spaces X and Y, a number (X, Y) = inf (log (‖L‖ ‖L-1‖)), where the infimum is taken over all isomorphisms L of X onto F. He says that the spaces X and Y are nearly isometric if (X, Y) = 0 and asks whether the concepts of near isometry and isometry are the same; in particular, whether the spaces c and c0, which are not isometric, are nearly isometric. In a recent paper (2) Michael Cambern shows not only that c and c0 are not nearly isometric but obtains the elegant result that for the class of Banach spaces of continuous functions vanishing at infinity on a first countable locally compact Hausdorff space, the notions of isometry and near isometry coincide.

Suppose that S is a locally compact Hausdorff space. A one-parameter semi-group of maps in S is a family {ϕt; t ⩾ 0} of continuous functions from S into S satisfying(i)ϕt0ϕu = ϕt+u for t, u ⩾ 0, where the circle denotes composition, and(ii)ϕ0 = e, the identity map on S.A semi-group {ϕt} of maps in S is said to be(iii)of class (C0) if ϕt(x) → x as t → 0 for each x in S,(iv)separately continuous if the function t → ϕt(x) is continuous on [0, ∞) for each x in S, and(v)doubly continuous if the function (t, x) → (ϕt(x) is continuous on [0, ∞) x S.

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.

In the potential theory with respect to a non-symmetric function-kernel, the following theorem is obtained by M. Kishi ([3]).Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space and G be a lower semi-continuous function-kernel on X. Assume that G(x, x)>0 for any x in X and that G and the adjoint kernel Ğ of G satisfy “the continuity principle”.

By constructing the projective lift of a dp-epimorphism, we find a covariant functor E from the category Cd of regular Hausdorff spaces and continuous dp-epimorphisms to its coreflective subcategory εd consisting of projective objects of Cd We use E to show that E(X/G) is homeomorphic to EX/G whenever G is a properly discontinuous group of homeomorphisms of a locally compact Hausdorff space X and X/G is an object of Cd.
