1. Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space, E a (real) locally convex, complete, linear topological space, and (C*(X, E), ß) the locally convex linear space of all bounded continuous functions on X to E topologized with the strict topology ß. When E is the real numbers we denote C*(X, E) by C*(X) as usual. When E is not the real numbers, C*(X, E) is not in general an algebra, but it is a mod...
