Summary
A characterization is given of all continuous algebra homomorphisms H from the weighted space of continuous functions CV(X, E) into ℂ, where X is a completely regular Hausdorff space, E a locally convex algebra and V a family of weight functions that vanish at infinity. These homomorphisms are represented in the form H(f) = h(f(x)) with x in X and h a continuous algebra homomorphism on E. We then consider the space of homomorphisms of CV(X, E) and give some counterexamples to possible further generalizations.
