INTRODUCTION

Let X be a Hausdorff completely regular space and E be a Hausdorff locally convex topological vector space. Then C(X;E) denotes the linear space of the continuous functions on X with values in E; in the scalar case (i.e. if E is ill or

we simply write C(X).

The purpose of these notes is to characterize locally convex properties of C(X;E) by means of topological properties of X and of ly convex properties of E. The scalar case has already been developed quite convenient to recall briefly its contents.

and it is

Its chapter I deals

with the ultrabornological (resp. bornological; barrelled; quasi­barrelled) space associated to E. One finds in its chapter II a description of the realcompactification uX of X as well as the definition of the space Cp(X), i.e.

C(X) endowed with the most general locally con-

vex topology of uniform convergence on subsets of uX.

In its chapter

III, the ultrabornological (resp. bornological; barrelled; quasi­barrelled)

space associated to Cp(X) is characterized. This gives of

course a necessary and sufficient condition for Cp(X) to have that property. Its chapter IV concerns conditions of separability or of weak­compactness in Cp(X). Finally its chapter V gives an attempt to study the vector­valued case: it deals with the space Cs(X;E), i.e. C(X;E) endowed with the simple or pointwise topology. Since the pu b Li c a t i o n of [201, its chapters I to IV have got few complementary results. It is not the case of its chapter V to which significant results have been added. This is due mostly to A. Defant, W. Govaerts, R.

Hollstein, J. Mendoza Casas, J. Mujica, myself,

Now it is possible to say that large parts of the study of the Cp(X;E) spaces are settled. The aim of these notes is to present these new results as a complement to the chapters I to IV of [201 . The chapter I contains a description of the spaces Cp(X;E), i.e. C(X;E) endowed with the most general locally convex topology of uni­
