Abstract
A 2009 article of Allcock and Vaaler examined the vector space over , describing its completion with respect to the Weil height as a certain space. By involving an object called a consistent map, the author began efforts to establish Riesz-type representation theorems for the duals of spaces related to . Specifically, we provided such results for the algebraic and continuous duals of . In the present article, we use consistent maps to provide representation theorems for the duals of locally constant function spaces on the places of that arise in the work of Allcock and Vaaler. We further apply our new results to recover, as a corollary, a main theorem of our previous work.
