May 16, 2013 at 14:44 comment added George Lowther @andy: I can post an answer with proof of my statement later tonight.
May 16, 2013 at 14:23 comment added Davide Giraudo Not necessarily, but here (I think) we need to show that each totally ordered subset admits a maximal element.
May 16, 2013 at 13:50 comment added andy teich @Davide : Does a weka*-compact substet necessarily have to be totally ordered?

May 15, 2013 at 12:55 comment added Davide Giraudo @andy Could you please unaccept my answer. Then I will be able to delete it.
May 15, 2013 at 6:28 comment added andy teich @George Lowther : do you have a proof for this? So the answer given by Davide Giraudo is not true when the maps $Z$ are bounded?
May 14, 2013 at 21:48 comment added Gerald Edgar So the set $\{\delta_x : x \in [0,1]\}$ is not compact; it is discrete.
May 14, 2013 at 21:47 comment added George Lowther @andy: With your modified definition of the weak-* topology, the anwer is now yes, there is a dominating measure.
May 14, 2013 at 19:45 comment added andy teich @Gerald Edgar: "...the usual way to define it is to use continuous $Z$." Maybe you realized that we are working on measurable spaces and there is no notion of continuity...
May 14, 2013 at 19:43 comment added andy teich I forgot boundedness! sorry
May 13, 2013 at 18:45 comment added Jochen Wengenroth Andy does not have a definition at all because his functionals $L_Z$ make sense only for bounded $Z$. Anyway, weak*-compactness could be obtained from the Banach-Alaoglu theorem.
May 13, 2013 at 16:56 comment added Gerald Edgar @Lutz... you are right. Because andy has the wrong definition for the weak* topology. The usual way to define it is to use only continuous $Z$. If we use all measurable $Z$, as andy does, then you get a much stronger topology. Moreover, andy didn't even say that $Z$ should be bounded. So, let's give him a chance to say whether he wants to correct the definition.
May 13, 2013 at 15:52 comment added Lutz Mattner Does this really answer the intended Question? With the "weak*-topology" as defined above, the map $x\maspto \delta_x$ is not continuous.
