Abstract:
A Banach space is known to be Arens regular if every continuous linear mapping from to is weakly compact. Let be an open subset of , and let denote the algebra of analytic functions on which are bounded on bounded subsets of lying at a positive distance from the boundary of We endow with the usual Fréchet topology. denotes the set of continuous homomorphisms . We study the relation between the Arens regularity of the space and the structure of .
