Vector measures on topological spaces. (English) Zbl 1154.46025

Summary: Let \(X\) be a completely regular Hausdorff space, \(E\) a quasi-complete locally convex space, \(C(X) \) (resp., \(C_{b}(X)\)) the space of all (resp., all bounded), scalar-valued continuous functions on \(X\), and \({\mathcal B}(X) \) and \({\mathcal B}_{0}(X) \) be the classes of Borel and Baire subsets of \(X\). We study the spaces \( M_{t}(X, E)\), \( M_{\tau}(X, E)\), \(M_{\sigma}(X, E)\) of tight, \( \tau\)-smooth, \(\sigma\)-smooth, \(E\)-valued Borel and Baire measures on \(X\). Using strict topologies, we prove some measure representation theorems for linear operators between \( C_{b}(X)\) and \(E\) and then prove some convergence theorems about integrable functions. Also, Alexandrov’s theorem is extended to the vector case and a representation theorem for order-bounded, scalar-valued, linear maps from \(C(X)\) is generalized to vector-valued linear maps.
