Feb 10, 2016 at 21:15 comment added dalry If $X$ is not compact but, say, completely regular then one can consider the space of bounded, continuous functions with the so-called strict topology, which was introduced by R.C. Buck in the locally compact space and extended to the general case by several authors. Its dual is the space of bounded tight (or Radon) measures. Many features of the compact case carry over to this situation, but at the cost of replacing the concept of a Banach space by that of a Saks space. For references, google the latter phrase.
Feb 10, 2016 at 20:41 comment added Yun Thank you for pointing out this. I realize that my original thought was with strong topology. Do you know how general this conclusion (with weak topology) is? I mean, how about if $X$ is noncompact? Do you have any reference explaining it? Thanks!
Feb 10, 2016 at 19:48 comment added dalry We seem to be talking at cross purposes. The dual of $M(K)$ with the weak star topology is $C(K)$, just as the dual of any dual Banach space with the weak star topology coincides with the original space.
Feb 10, 2016 at 18:39 comment added Yun Agree. But my comment still holds without the last sentence "i.e., by specifying the exact topology".
