On a question of $C_c(X)$

Abstract

In this short article we answer the question posed in Ghadermazi M., Karamzadeh O.A.S., Namdari M., On the functionally countable subalgebra of $C(X)$, Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 129 (2013), 47--69. It is shown that $C_c(X)$ is isomorphic to some ring of continuous functions if and only if $\upsilon_0 X$ is functionally countable. For a strongly zero-dimensional space $X$, this is equivalent to say that $X$ is functionally countable. Hence for every $P$-space it is equivalent to pseudo-$\aleph_0$-compactness.
