Resumen

In [4], D. Gulick introduced a new topology, σ-compact-open topology tσ on Cb(X), where Cb(X) is the set of all real-valued bounded continuous functions on a Tychonoff space X. This space was denoted (Cb(X), tσ ) by him and he studied its dual space. First we give an elegant measure-theoretic characterization of this dual space. Gulick compared this dual space with the dual of (Cb(X), tn ), where tn is the topology on Cb(X) generated by the supremum norm ∥ · ∥∞  on Cb(X). Since tσ ⊆ tn , the dual (Cb(X), tσ )* ⊆ (Cb(X), tn )* . Gulick has conjectured that for a locally compact Hausdorff space X, if the duals are same, then tσ = tn . By constructing a complicated locally compact Hausdorff space X, we show that the duals are the same but tσ is strictly weaker than tn.
