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

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 .
