Let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and let C*(X) denote the space of real-valued bounded continuous functions on X. An interesting and important property of the strict topology β on C*(X) was proved by Buck [2]: the dual space of (C*(X), β) has a natural representation as the space of bounded regular Borel measures on X.
Now suppose that X is completely regular (all topological spaces are assumed to be Hausdorff in this paper). Again it seems natural to seek locally convex topologies on the space C*(X) whose dual spaces are (via the integration pairing) significant classes of measures.
