 Solution

The Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem identifies the continuous dual of $C(\mathbb{T})$ with the finite complex Radon measures on $\mathbb{T}$: every bounded complex-linear functional $L$ has a unique representationThe right side is the total variation norm of the measure. On this compact metric space Radon measures are regular Borel measures. A functional is positive precisely when its representing measure is positive; then $\Vert L\Vert =L(1)=\mu (\mathbb{T})$.
