On the three-space property for locally convex spaces.
We prove that any infinite-dimensional non-archimedean Fréchet space is homeomorphic to where is a discrete space with . It follows that infinite-dimensional non-archimedean Fréchet spaces and are homeomorphic if and only if . In particular, any infinite-dimensional non-archimedean Fréchet space of countable type over a field is homeomorphic to the non-archimedean Fréchet space .
A (Hausdorff) topological group is said to have a -base if it admits a base of neighbourhoods of the unit, , such that whenever β ≤ α for all . The class of all metrizable topological groups is a proper subclass of the class of all topological groups having a -base. We prove that a topological group is metrizable iff it is Fréchet-Urysohn and has a -base. We also show that any precompact set in a topological group is metrizable, and hence G is strictly angelic. We deduce from this result...
In this paper we deal with the vector lattice of all elementary Carathéodory functions corresponding to a generalized Boolean algebra .
Let be the Banach space of real measures on a -ring , let be its dual, let be a quasi-complete locally convex space, let be its dual, and let be an -valued measure on . If is shown that for any there exists an element of such that for any and that the mapis order continuous. It follows that the closed convex hull of is weakly compact.
Let X be a real or complex vector space. We show that the maximal p-convex topology makes X a complete Hausdorff topological vector space. If X has an uncountable dimension, then different p give different topologies. However, if the dimension of X is at most countable, then all these topologies coincide. This leads to an example of a complete locally pseudoconvex space X that is not locally convex, but all of whose separable subspaces are locally convex. We apply these results to topological algebras,...
