Abstract

Let X be a locally compact space, and M∞₀(X,ι) be the space of all essentially bounded ι-measurable functions f on X vanishing at infinity. We introduce and study a locally convex topology β¹(X,ι) on the Lebesgue space M¹(X,ι) such that the strong dual of (M¹(X,ι),β¹(X,ι)) can be identified with  . Next, by showing that β¹(X,ι) can be considered as a natural mixed topology, we deduce some of its basic properties. Finally, as an application, we prove that L¹ (G) , the group algebra of a locally compact Hausdorff topological group G, equipped with the convolution multiplication is a complete semitopological algebra under the β¹ (G) topology.
