Abstract

Consider \((X,\tau ,{\mathcal {A}},\mu )\), where \((X,\tau )\) is a topological space, \({\mathcal {A}}\) is a \(\sigma \)-algebra containing \(\tau \) and \(\mu \) is a measure defined on \({\mathcal {A}}\). We call the quadruplet \((X,\tau ,{\mathcal {A}},\mu )\) a \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-space. Let \({\mathcal {M}}_\circ (X,\mu )\) be the set of all real valued functions which are discontinuous on a set of measure zero. We define and study \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-compact, \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-real compact and \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-pseudocompact spaces. Main aim of this article is to investigate the relations among these concepts. We show that \((X,\tau ,{\mathcal {A}},\mu )\) is \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-compact if and only if it is \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-pseudocompact and \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-real compact. Also we establish Stone Weierstrass like theorem for a \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-compact space. We define \({\mathcal {Z}}\)-filter on X and characterize \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-compact, \(\tau {\mathcal {A}}\mu \)-real compact spaces via \({\mathcal {Z}}\)-filters on X and ideals of \({\mathcal {M}}_\circ (X,\mu )\). Finally, we answer a question raised by S. Bag et al. [Rings of functions which are discontinuous on a set of measure zero, Positivity, 16(12)(2022),1-15].
