Tóm tắt

LetX be a (not necessarily closed) subspace of the dual spaceB * of a separable Banach spaceB. LetX 1 denote the set of all weak * limits of sequences inX. DefineX a , for every ordinal numbera, by the inductive rule:X a = (U b < a X b ) 1 .There is always a countable ordinala such thatX a is the weak * closure ofX; the first sucha is called theorder ofX inB * . LetE be a closed subset of a locally compact abelian group. LetPM(E) be the set of pseudomeasures, andM(E) the set of measures, whose supports are contained inE. The setE obeys synthesis if and only ifM(E) is weak * dense inPM(E). Varopoulos constructed an example in which the order ofM(E) is 2. The authors construct, for every countable ordinala, a setE inR that obeys synthesis, and such that the order ofM(E) inPM(E) isa.
