Abstract

Let X be a completely regular Hausdorff space or a pseudocompact Hausdorff space. We denote by C(X, A) the algebra of all continuous functions on X with values in a complex unital locally pseudo-convex algebra A. Let C b(X, A) be its subalgebra consisting of all bounded continuous functions endowed with the topology given by the uniform pseudo-seminorms of A on X. In this paper we examine some properties of A that are inherited by C b(X, A); these properties are projective limit decomposition, inversion, involution, spectral properties and metrizability.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It exists when A is commutative (see [17], p.26).

  2. 2.

    The proof of this property involves only real scalars, so there is no problem with the conjugate-homogenity of the involution.
