Abstract

We work in the category CLMku\mathcal{CLM}^u_k of [5] of separated complete bounded kk-linearly topologized modules over a complete linearly topologized ring kk and discuss duality on certain exact subcategories. We study topological and uniform structures on locally compact paracompact 00-dimensional topological spaces XX, named tdtd-spaces in [11] and [17], and the corresponding algebras C?(X,k)\mathscr{C}_?(X,k) of continuous kk-valued functions, with a choice of support and uniformity conditions. We apply the previous duality theory to define and study the dual coalgebras D?(X,k)\mathscr{D}_?(X,k) of kk-valued measures on XX. We then complete the picture by providing a direct definition of the various types of measures. In the case of XX a commutative tdtd-group GG the integration pairing provides perfect dualities of Hopf kk-algebras between Cunif(G,k)C(G,k)      \mboxand      Dacs(G,k)Dunif(G,k)  .\mathscr{C}_{\rm unif}(G,k) \longrightarrow \mathscr{C}(G,k) \;\;\;\mbox{and}\;\;\; \mathscr{D}_{\rm acs}(G,k) \longrightarrow \mathscr{D}_{\rm unif}(G,k) \;. We conclude the paper with the remarkable example of G=Ga(Qp)G= \mathbb{G}_a(\mathbb{Q}_p) and k=Zpk = \mathbb{Z}_p, leading to the basic Fontaine ring Ainf=W(Fp[[t1/p]]^)=Dunif(Qp,Zp)  .{\bf A}_{\rm inf} = {\rm W} \left(\widehat{\mathbb{F}_p[[t^{1/p^\infty}]]}\right) = \mathscr{D}_{\rm unif}(\mathbb{Q}_p,\mathbb{Z}_p) \;. We discuss Fourier duality between Ainf{\bf A}_{\rm inf} and Cunif(Qp,Zp)\mathscr{C}_{\rm unif}(\mathbb{Q}_p,\mathbb{Z}_p) and exhibit a remarkable Fr\'echet basis of Cunif(Qp,Zp)\mathscr{C}_{\rm unif}(\mathbb{Q}_p,\mathbb{Z}_p) related to the classical binomial coefficients.
