Multiplier algebras of normed spaces of continuous functions

Abstract

In this article we investigate some general properties of the multiplier algebras of normed spaces of continuous functions (NSCF). In particular, we prove that the multiplier algebra inherits some of the properties of the NSCF. We show that it is often possible to construct NSCF's which only admit constant multipliers. In order to do that, using a method from [23], we prove that any separable Banach space can be realized as a NSCF over any separable metrizable space. On the other hand, we give a sufficient condition for non-separability of a multiplier algebra.
