Do compact convergence topology and w*-topology coincide on the Pontryagin dual group of a LCA group.

148 Views Asked by At

Given a locally compact group $G$, consider its Pontryagin dual $G^{'}$. Do compact convergence topology and weak*-topology on $G^{'}$ coincide?. When we talk about weak*-topology on $G^{'}$, it means to view $G^{'}$ to be in the space of $L^{\infty}(G)$ with the relative weak*-topology.

My way is to prove that the identity on $G^{'}$ is a homeomorphism. But I cannot prove the continuity from the weak*-topology to the compact convergence topology. I think $G^{'}$ is not closed in the weak*-topology. Is it right?

I also want to ask that is $G^{'}$ always 1st countable or even metrizable?

Thank you!
