The spaces and are ultrabornological. A new proof.
An example is given of a semisimple commutative Banach algebra that has the strong spectral extension property but fails the multiplicative Hahn-Banach property. This answers a question posed by M. J. Meyer in [4].
Let X be a real or complex vector space equipped with the strongest vector space topology . Besides the result announced in the title we prove that X is uncountable-dimensional if and only if it is not locally pseudoconvex.
An explicit representation of the n-fold symmetric tensor product (equipped with a natural topology τ such as the projective, injective or inductive one) of the finite direct sum of locally convex spaces is presented. The formula for gives a direct proof of a recent result of Díaz and Dineen (and generalizes it to other topologies τ) that the n-fold projective symmetric and the n-fold projective “full” tensor product of a locally convex space E are isomorphic if E is isomorphic to its square .
The linear isomorphism type of the tensor algebra T(E) of Fréchet spaces and, in particular, of power series spaces is studied. While for nuclear power series spaces of infinite type it is always s, the situation for finite type power series spaces is more complicated. The linear isomorphism T(s) ≅ s can be used to define a multiplication on s which makes it a Fréchet m-algebra . This may be used to give an algebra analogue to the structure theory of s, that is, characterize Fréchet m-algebras...
