Structure of spaces ofC ∞-functions on nuclear spaces

LetE be a real nuclear locally convex space; we prove that the space ℰ_ub(E), of allC ^∞-functions of uniform bounded type onE, coincides with the inductive limit of the spaces ℰ_Nbc(E _v) (introduced by Nachbin-Dineen), whenV ranges over a basis of convex balanced 0-neighbourhoods inE. LetE be a real nuclear bornological vector space; we prove that the space ℰ(E) of allC ^∞-functions onE coincides with the projective limit of the spaces ℰ_Nbc(E _B), whenB is a closed convex balanced bounded subset ofE. As a consequence we obtain some density results and a version of the Paley-Wiener-Schwartz theorem.

DIEUDONNÉ—KÖTHE DUALITY FOR VECTOR—VALUED FUNCTION SPACES: LOCALIZATION OF BOUNDED SETS AND BARRELLEDNESS

Abstract

We study Dieudonné-Köthe spaces of Lusin-measurable functions with values in a locally convex space. Let Λ be a solid locally convex lattice of scalar-valued measurable functions defined on a measure space Ω. If E is a locally convex space, define Λ {E} as the space of all Lusinmeasurable functions f: Ω → E such that q(f(·)) is a function in Λ for every continuous seminorm q on E. The space Λ {E} is topologized in a natural way and we study some aspects of the locally convex structure of A {E}; namely, bounded sets, completeness, duality and barrelledness. In particular, we focus on the important case when Λ and E are both either metrizable or (DF)-spaces and derive good permanence results for reflexivity when the density condition holds.     

Boundedly Compatible Webs and Strict Mackey Convergence

We look for characterizations of those locally convex spaces that satisfy the strict Mackey convergence condition within the context of spaces with webs. We will say that a locally convex space has a boundedly compatible web if it has a web of absolutely convex sets whose members behave like zero neighborhoods in a metrizable locally convex space. It will be shown that these locally convex spaces satisfy the strict Mackey convergence condition. One consequence of this result will be a characterization of boundedly retractive inductive limits. We will also prove that if E is locally complete and webbed, then the strict Mackey convergence condition is equivalent to E having a boundedly compatible web.     

Weakly K-analytic spaces and the three-space property for analyticity

Let (E,E^′) be a dual pair of vector spaces. The paper studies general conditions which allow to lift analyticity (or K-analyticity) from the weak topology σ(E,E^′) to stronger ones in the frame of (E,E^′). First we show that the Mackey dual of a space Cp(X) is analytic iff the space X is countable. This yields that for uncountable analytic spaces X the Mackey dual of Cp(X) is weakly analytic but not analytic. We show that the Mackey dual E of an (LF)-space of a sequence of reflexive separable Fréchet spaces with the Heinrich density condition is analytic, i.e. E is a continuous image of the Polish space NN. This extends a result of Valdivia. We show also that weakly quasi-Suslin locally convex Baire spaces are metrizable and complete (this extends a result of De Wilde and Sunyach). We provide however a large class of weakly analytic but not analytic metrizable separable Baire topological vector spaces (not locally convex!). This will be used to prove that analyticity is not a three-space property but we show that a metrizable topological vector space E is analytic if E contains a complete locally convex analytic subspace F such that the quotient E/F is analytic. Several questions, remarks and examples are included.     

Finitely purely atomic measures: Coincidence and rigidity properties

This paper is a natural continuation of the paper [2] by the same author. We shall prove that several coincidence and rigidity phenomena which usually do not appear are possible only in case the underlying measure space is trivial (i.e. is a finite union of atoms). Examples: coincidence of twoL ^p spaces, reflexivity ofL ¹, Radon—Nikodym property ofL ^∞, coincidence of Dunford, Pettis or Bochner integrability, coincidence of theL ^p space and of the weakL ^p space.     

Varieties and Vector Measures

A locally convex space L has the property ? if equicontinuous subsets of L* are weak-star sequentially compact. (L*, σ(L*, L)) is a MAZUR space if given F ∈ L** with F weak-star sequentially continuous then F∈ L. If L is complete with the property ∈, then (L*, σ (L*, L)) is a MAZUR space. The class of locally convex spaces with the property ? forms a variety ??_? and this variety is generated by the BANACH spaces it contains. Weakly compactly generated locally convex spaces and SCHWARTZ spaces belong to ??_?. MAZUR spaces are used to give a characterization of GROTHENDIECK BANACH spaces. The last section contains a characterization of the variety generated by the reflexive BANACH spaces.     

TOPOLOGICAL DECOMPOSITIONS OF THE DUALS OF LOCALLY CONVEX VECTOR SEQUENCE SPACES

ABSTRACT

Let Λ be a scalar sequence space which is endowed with a normal locally convex topology. For a separated locally convex space E we denote by Λ(E) the vector space of all sequences g in E for which (>g(i),a<) ε Λ for all a ε E'. We define a locally convex topology ζ on Λ(E) and then characterize the dual of the ζ-closure (denoted by Λ_c (E)) of the finite sequences in Λ(E). We demonstrate the existence of a continuous projection from Λ(E)' onto a subspace of Λ(E)' which is isomorphic to Λ_c(E)'. Furthermore, we find a topological decomposition of Λ^α _c (E)”, where one of the factors is isomorphic to Λ;^α(E). These results are then applied to find necessary and sufficient conditions for Λ^α(E) to be semi-reflexive. A parallel development yields the same results for the space Λ(E') of all sequences f in E' for which (>x, f(i)<) ε Λ; for all x ε E, when E is barrelled. We conclude the paper by application of the results on vector sequence spaces to spaces of operators—including for instance, necessary and sufficient conditions for L_b (E,Λ;) and L_b (Λ,E) to be semi-reflexive.     

Approximate identities on some homogeneous Banach spaces

We study convergence of approximate identities on some complete semi-normed or normed spaces of locally L ^p functions where translations are isometries, namely Marcinkiewicz spaces M^p{\mathcal{M}^{p}} and Stepanoff spaces S^p{\mathcal{S}^p}, 1 ≤ p < ∞, as well as others where translations are not isometric but bounded (the bounded p-mean spaces M ^p ) or even unbounded (M^p₀{M^{p}_{0}}). We construct a function f that belongs to these spaces and has the property that all approximate identities f_e * f{\phi_\varepsilon * f} converge to f pointwise but they never converge in norm.     

On discrete and continuous quotient Riesz spaces

Order properties of quotient Riesz spaces E/N(f) by null ideals N(f) are investigated. We show relationships between properties of a Riesz space E and its order dual E ^~ and properties of quotients E/N(f) where f runs over some subspaces of E ^~. A characterization of metrizable locally convex topological Riesz spaces whose all quotients (by proper closed ideals) are discrete is also given.     

Duality and Reflexivity of Spaces of Approximable Polynomials on Locally Convex Spaces

 We develop a duality theory for spaces of approximable n-homogeneous polynomials on locally convex spaces, generalising results previously obtained for Banach spaces. For E a Fréchet space with its dual having the approximation property and with E′ _b locally Asplund we show that the space of n-homogeneous polynomials on (E′ _b )′ _b is the inductive dual of the space of boundedly weakly continuous n-homogeneous polynomials on E. We show that when E is a reflexive Fréchet space, the space of n-homogeneous polynomials on E is reflexive if and only if every n-homogeneous polynomial on E is boundedly weakly continuous.

The Average Range Characterization of the Radon–Nikodym Property

A characterization of Banach spaces possessing the Radon—Nikodym property is given in terms of the average range of additive interval functions. We prove that a Banach space X has the RNP if and only if each X-valued additive interval function possessing absolutely continuous McShane (or Henstock) variational measure has nonempty average range almost everywhere on [0, 1].     

Über assoziierte lineare und lokalkonvexe Topologien

Certain properties E of linear topological or locally convex spaces induce a functor in the corresponding category, which assigns to every space (X,F) an associated topologyF ^E. The well-known notions of the coarsest barrelled topology stronger than a given locally convex topology or of the strongest locally convex topology weaker than a given linear topology are examples of this concept. In the first two parts of this paper we consider the problem, whether the above functors commute with other processes, such as forming products, linear and locally convex direct sums, inductive limits and completions. With help of two technical lemmas we prove in the third part, that every separated locally convex space is a quotient of a complete locally convex space, in which every bounded set has a finite dimensional linear span. This sharpens results of Y. Kōmura [12], M. Valdivia [18] and W.J. Wilbur [20].     

Duality and Reflexivity of Spaces of Approximable Polynomials on Locally Convex Spaces

 We develop a duality theory for spaces of approximable n-homogeneous polynomials on locally convex spaces, generalising results previously obtained for Banach spaces. For E a Fréchet space with its dual having the approximation property and with E′ _b locally Asplund we show that the space of n-homogeneous polynomials on (E′ _b )′ _b is the inductive dual of the space of boundedly weakly continuous n-homogeneous polynomials on E. We show that when E is a reflexive Fréchet space, the space of n-homogeneous polynomials on E is reflexive if and only if every n-homogeneous polynomial on E is boundedly weakly continuous.     

PROJECTIONS ON OPERATOR DUALS

Abstract

We discuss the existence of a projection with kernel K_b(E,F) ¹ (the annihilator of the quasi-compact operators) on the dual space of the space L _b,(E, F) of continous linear operators. Our results are proved in the context of Hausdorff locally convex spaces, but also provide extensions of recent results in the context of Banach spaces.     

Dual Density Conditions in (DF)— spaces,I

We define the two “dual density conditions” (DDC) and (SDDC) for locally convex topological vector spaces and study them in the setting of the class of (DF)- spaces (originally introduced by A. Grothendieck [14]). We show that for a (DF)- space E, (DDC) is equivalent to the metrizability of the bounded subsets of E, and prove that such a space E has (DDC) resp. (SDDC) if and only if the space l_∞(E) of all bounded sequences in E is quasibarrelled resp. bornological. As a consequence, we can then characterize the barrelled spaces \({\cal L}_b(\lambda_1,\ E)\) of continuous linear mappings from a Köthe echelon space λ₁ into a locally complete (DF)- space E; for purposes of a comparison, we also provide the corresponding characterization of the quasibarrelled resp. bornological (DF)- tensor products (λ₁)_b ^′ ?_ε E. Our results on the (DF)- spaces of type \({\cal L}_b(\lambda_1,\ E)\) and (λ₁)_b ^′) ?_ε E are of special interest in view of the recent negative solution, due to J. Taskinen (see [25]), of Grothendieck’s “problème des topologies” ([15]). — In part II of the article, we will treat weighted inductive limits of spaces of continuous functions and their projective hulls (cf. [6]) as an application. In his study of ultrapowers of locally convex spaces, S. Heinrich [16] had found it necessary to introduce the “density condition”. Our article [2] investigated this condition, mainly in the setting of Fréchet spaces, and with applications to distinguished echelon spaces λ₁. However, on the way to the main theorems of [2], it became apparent that the “right” setting for most of this material was a dual reformulation of the density condition in the context of (DF)- spaces, and this observation prompted the present research.     

Convergence in distribution of point processes on Polish spaces to a simple limit

Let ξ,ξ₁,ξ₂,… be a sequence of point processes on a complete and separable metric space (S,d) with ξ simple. We assume that P{ξ_nB=0}→P{ξB=0} and lim sup_n→∞P{ξ_nB>1}≤P{ξB>1} for all B in some suitable class B, and show that this assumption determines if the sequence {ξ_n} converges in distribution to ξ. This is an extension to general Polish spaces of the weak convergence theory for point processes on locally compact Polish spaces found in Kallenberg (1996).     

Weighted composition operators on nonlocally convex weighted spaces of continuous functions

LetV be a system of weights on a completely regular Hausdorff spaceX and letB(E) be the topological vector space of all continuous linear operators on a general topological vector spaceE. LetCV ₀(X, E) andCV _b (X, E) be the weighted spaces of vector-valued continuous functions (vanishing at infinity or bounded, respectively) which are not necessarily locally convex. In the present paper, we characterize in this general setting the weighted composition operatorsW _π,? onCV ₀(X, E) (orCV _b (X, E)) induced by the operator-valued mappings π:X→B(E) (or the vector-valued mappings π:X→E, whereE is a topological algebra) and the self-map ? ofX. Also, we characterize the mappings π:X→B(E) (or π:x→E) and ?:X→X which induce the compact weighted composition operators on these weighted spaces of continuous functions.     

The Hahn-Banach Property and the Axiom of Choice

We work in set theory ZF without axiom of choice. Though the Hahn-Banach theorem cannot be proved in ZF, we prove that every Gateaux-differentiable uniformly convex Banach space E satisfies the following continuous Hahn-Banach property: if p is a continuous sublinear functional on E, if F is a subspace of E, and if f: F → ? is a linear functional such that f ≤ p|F then there exists a linear functional g : E → ? such that g extends f and g ≤ p. We also prove that the continuous Hahn-Banach property on a topological vector space E is equivalent to the classical geometrical forms of the Hahn-Banach theorem on E. We then prove that the axiom of Dependent choices DC is equivalent to Ekeland's variational principle, and that it implies the continuous Hahn-Banach property on Gateaux-differentiable Banach spaces. Finally, we prove that, though separable normed spaces satisfy the continuous Hahn-Banach property, they do not satisfy the whole Hahn-Banach property in ZF+DC.     

Convolution operators on spaces of entire functions

We show that nontrivial convolution operators on certain spaces of entire functions on E are frequently hypercyclic when E is a normed space and when E is the strong dual of a Fréchet nuclear space. We also obtain results of existence and approximation for convolution equations on certain spaces of entire functions on arbitrary locally convex spaces.     

[Russian Text Ignored.]

This paper will present some results on quasivariational inequality {C, E, P, Φ} in topological linear locally convex Hausdorff spaces. We shall be concerning with quasivariational inequalities defined on subsets which are convexe closed, or only closed. The compactness of the subset C is replaced by the condensing property of the mapping E. Further, we also obtain some results for quasivariational inequality {C, E, P, Φ}, where the multivalued mapping E maps C into 2^X and satisfies a general inward boundary condition.
