When you are ready to leave the locally compact enclave and go out into the completely regular world, try it! Yes, I put it last month in the thread "Examples of great mathematcal writing" mathoverflow.net/questions/358/… | |

added notation

| Nov 29, 2009 at 3:00 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | Wikipedia confirms that MaxSpec C_0 is homeomorphic to X for X locally compact Hausdorff. I don't know that there is a good answer in general. | |
| Nov 29, 2009 at 1:11 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | Also, the ring of functions with compact support could be denoted by $C_c$, or by $C_{00}$ in some contexts, but $C_0$ just seems wrong... | |
| Nov 29, 2009 at 1:10 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | Have you tried looking Gilman and Jerison's "Rings of Continuous Functions"? The problem is that LCHff is atypically nice as a subclass of general topological spaces, and so intuition gained there can be misleading. | |
