Introduction
Let 
G be a locally compact group with a fixed left Haar measure λ  and  

 be a weight function on 
G;  that is a Borel measurable function 

 with  

 for all 

.   We denote by 

 the set of all measurable  functions 

 such that 

; the group algebra of  
G  as defined in [2]. Then  

 with the convolution product “*” and the norm  

 defined by 

  is a Banach algebra known as Beurling algebra. We denote by 
n(
G,

) the topology generated by the  norm 

.    Also, let 

 denote the space of all measurable functions 𝑓  with 

, the Lebesgue space as defined in [2].
Then 

  with   the product 

 defined by 

, the   norm 

 defined by  

, and the complex conjugation as involution is a commutative 

algebra. Moreover, 

 is the dual of 

. In fact, the mapping   

is an isometric isomorphism.
 We denote by 

the 

-subalgebra of 

 consisting of all functions  𝘨 on 
G such that for each 

, there is a compact subset 
K of 
G for which

in the unweighted case see  [3,6].
 We introduce and study a locally convex topology 

 on 

 such that 

 can be identified with the strong dual of 

. Our work generalizes  some interesting results of  [15] for group algebras to a more general setting of weighted group algebras. We also show that (

,

)  could be a normable or bornological space only if 
G is compact. Finally, we prove that 

 is complemented in 

  if and only if G is compact. For some similar recent studies see [4,7,8,10,12-14]. One may be interested to see the work [9] for an application of these results.
Main results
We denote by  
𝒞  the set of increasing sequences of compact subsets of G and by 
ℛ the set of increasing sequences 

 of real numbers in 

 divergent to infinity. For any 

 and 

, set 

and note that 

 is a convex balanced absorbing set in the space 

. It is easy to see that the family 
𝒰 of all sets 

 is a base of neighbourhoods of zero for a locally convex topology on 

 see for example [16]. We denote this topology by 

.  Here we use some ideas from  [15], where this topology has been introduced and studied for  group algebras.
Proposition 2.1 Let 
G be a locally compact group, and  

be a weight function on 
G.   The norm topology 
n(
G,

) on 

 coincides with the topology 

 if and only if 
G is compact.
Proposition 2.2 Let 
G be a locally compact group, and  

be a weight function on 
G.  Then the dual of (

,

)  endowed with the strong topology can be identified with 

endowed with 

-topology.
Proposition 2.3 Let 
G be a locally compact group, and  

be a weight function on 
G.  Then the following assertions are equivalent:
a) (

,

)  is barrelled.
b) (

,

)  is bornological.
c) (

,

)  is metrizable.
d) 
G  is compact.
Proposition 2.4 Let 
G be a locally compact group, and  

be a weight function on 
G.  Then  is not complemented in .
