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

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
. For a study of
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 .
