Abstract

We construct the generalized Lebesgue--Bochner spaces Lp(μ,Π)L^p(\mu,\varPi) for positive measures μ\mu and for suitable real or complex topological vector spaces Π\varPi so that for 1<p<+1<p<+\infty and Banachable Π\varPi with separable topology the strong dual of the classical Bochner space Lp(μ,Π)L^p(\mu,\varPi) becomes canonically represented by Lp(μ,Πσ)L^{p^*}(\mu,\varPi_\sigma')\,. Hence we need no separability assumption of the norm topology of the strong dual Πβ\varPi_\beta' of Π\varPi. For p=1p=1 and for suitably restricted positive measures μ\mu we even get a similar result without any separability of the norm topology of the target space Π\varPi. For positive Radon measures on locally compact topological spaces these results are essentially contained on pages 588--606 in R. E. Edwards' classical Functional Analysis.
