The classical ring of quotients of $C_c(X)$

Abstract

We construct the classical ring of quotients of the algebra of continuous real-valued functions with countable range. Our construction is a slight modification of the construction given in [M. Ghadermazi, O.A.S. Karamzadeh, and M. Namdari, On the functionally countable subalgebra of C(X), Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova, to appear]. Dowker's example shows that the two constructions can be different.
