On the topological linear spaces whose subspace lattices are modular

LetX be a topological linear space and letL(X) be a lattice of all closed subspaces ofX. We show that in many cases the modularity ofL(X) implies that every bounded subset ofX is finite-dimensional. We derive some topological consequences of the latter result. Due to the significance of the modularity condition forL(X) in quantum axiomatics and elswhere (see 1,14,15]) results also might find application outside the realm of topological linear spaces.
