Abstract

Suppose XX is a compact Hausdorff space. In terms of topolocical properties of XX, we find topological conditions on XX that are equivalent to each of the following: 1. every additive local multiplication on C(X)C\left( X\right) is a multiplication, 2. every additive local multiplication on CR(X)C_{R}\left( X\right) is a multiplication, and 3. every additive map on C(X)C\left( X\right) that is zero-preserving (i.e., f(x)=0f\left( x\right) =0 implies (Tf)(x)=0\left( Tf\right) \left( x\right) =0) has the form T(f)=T(1)Ref+T(i)ImfT\left( f\right) =T\left( 1\right) \operatorname{Re}f+T\left( i\right) \operatorname{Im}f.
