1. Introduction. A locally convex space is said to have the convex compactness property (sometimes abbreviated to cc) if the absolutely convex closure of each compact set is compact. This important property is the subject of Krein's theorem (3) 24.5(4′). It is strictly weaker than bounded completeness and can sometimes be substituted for that assumption; for example, a useful result, related to the Banach–Mackey theorem, says that in a space with cc, all admissible topologies have the same bounded sets (5). As another example, it is well known that if X is bornological, X′ is strongly complete (see (1), theoreml); but if X has cc as well, we can strengthen this result to conclude, (2) 19C, that X′ is complete with its Mackey topology, indeed with the topology Ta (using the notation of section 3), where T is the original topology of X.

AbstractWe prove that in the character group of an abelian topological group, the topology associated (in a standard way) to the continuous convergence structure is the finest of all those which induce the topology of simple convergence on the corresponding equicontinuous subsets. If the starting group is furthermore metrizable (or even almost metrizable), we obtain that such a topology coincides with the compact-open topology. This result constitutes a generalization of the theorem of Banach-Dieudonné, which is well known in the theory of locally convex spaces.We also characterize completeness, in the class of locally quasi-convex metrizable groups, by means of a property which we have called the quasi-convex compactness property, or briefly qcp (Section 3).

AbstractLet K be a nonempty compact set in a Hausdorff locally convex space, and F a nonempty family of upper semicontinuous convex-like functions from K into [–∞, ∞). K is partially ordered by F in a natural manner. It is shown among other things that each isotone, upper semicontinuous and convex-like function g: K → [ – ∞, ∞) attains its K-maximum at some extreme point of K which is also a maximal element of K.Subject classification (Amer.

We construct a locally convex topology which is stronger than the Mackey topology but still has the same bounded sets as the Mackey topology. We use this topology to give a locally convex version of the Uniform Bouudedness Principle which is valid without any completeness or barrelledness assumptions.

AbstractThis paper deals with solid topologies and convergence structures on the vector-lattice CX (the set of all continuous real-valued functions on a space X): the closed ideals and locally convex topologies associated with such structures are studied in particular. The work stems from E. Hewitt's paper on bounded linear functionals, touches on the classical theorems of L. Nachbin, T. Shirota and others (determining when the topology of compact convergence is barrelled or bornological), and extends some recent results on the duality between x and CX.Subject classification (Amer.

Let be a family of sets in a linear space X. A hyperplane π is called a k-secant of if π intersects exactly k members of . The existence of k-secants for families of compact sets in linear topological spaces has been discussed in a number of recent papers (cf. [3–7]). For X normed (and a finite family of two or more disjoint non-empty compact sets) it was proved [5] that if the union of all members of is an infinite set which is not contained in any straight line of X, then has a 2-secant. This result and related ones concerning intersections of members of by straight lines have since been extended in [4] to the more general setting of a Hausdorff locally convex space.

AbstractThe paper deals with the following problem: characterize Tichonov spaces X whose realcompactification υX is a Lindelöf Σ-space. There are many situations (both in topology and functional analysis) where Lindelöf Σ (even K-analytic) spaces υX appear. For example, if E is a locally convex space in the class 𝔊 in sense of Cascales and Orihuela (𝔊 includes among others (LM ) -spaces and (DF ) -spaces), then υ(E′,σ(E′,E)) is K-analytic and E is web-bounded. This provides a general fact (due to Cascales–Kakol–Saxon): if E∈𝔊, then σ(E′,E) is K-analytic if and only if σ(E′,E) is Lindelöf. We prove a corresponding result for spaces Cp (X) of continuous real-valued maps on X endowed with the pointwise topology: υX is a Lindelöf Σ-space if and only if X is strongly web-bounding if and only if Cp (X) is web-bounded. Hence the weak* dual of Cp (X) is a Lindelöf Σ-space if and only if Cp (X) is web-bounded and has countable tightness. Applications are provided. For example, every E∈𝔊 is covered by a family {Aα :α∈Ω} of bounded sets for some nonempty set Ω⊂ℕℕ.
