Abstract
For any ideal of closed sets in X, let be the family of those functions in C(X) whose support lie on . Further let contain precisely those functions f in C(X) for which for each ϵ > 0, {x ∈ X: |f (x)| ≥ ϵ} is a member of . Let stand for the set of all those points p in βX at which the stone extension f∗ for each f in is real valued. We show that each realcompact space lying between X and βX is of the form if and only if X is pseudocompact. We find out conditions under which an arbitrary product of spaces of the form locally- or almost locally-, becomes a space of the same form. We further show that is a free ideal (essential ideal) of C(X) if and only if is a free ideal (essential ideal) of when and only when X is locally- (almost locally-). We address the problem, when does or become identical to the socle of the ring C(X). The results obtained turn out to imply a special version of the fact obtained by Azarpanah corresponding to the choice ≡ the ideal of compact sets in X. Finally we observe that the ideals of the form of C(X) are no other than the z◦-ideals of C(X).
