The notion of sequential topological algebra was introduced by this author and Ng [3], Among a number of results concerning these algebras, we showed that each multiplicative linear functional on a sequentially complete, sequential, locally convex algebra is bounded ([3], Theorem 1). From this it follows that every multiplicative linear functional on a sequential F-algebra (complete metrizable) is continuous ([3], Corollary 2).

Every multiplicative linear functional on a pseudocomplete locally convex algebra satisfying the “sequential” property of Husain and Ng is bounded (a topological algebra is called “sequential” if every null sequence contains an element whose powers converge to zero). Characterizations of such algebras are given, with some examples.

Let B be a topological algebra with Fréchet space topology, A an algebra with locally convex topology and an algebra of formal power series over A in n commuting indeterminates which carries a Fréchet space topology. In a previous paper the author showed, for the case n = 1, that a homomorphism of B into whose range contains polynomials is necessarily continuous provided the coordinate projections of into A satisfy a certain equicontinuity condition. This result is here extended to the case of general n, and also to weaker topological assumptions.

(i) Every complex [Formula: see text]-algebra with an identity and with an orthonormal basis is functionally continuous; (ii) Every complex complete LMC algebra with an orthogonal basis is functionally continuous; (iii) Every complex sequentially complete locally convex algebra with an unconditional orthonormal basis and with an element [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text]th coefficient functional value tends to infinity as [Formula: see text] tends to infinity is functionally continuous. These results are proved and an example is provided for non-extendability of these results. A representation for positive linear functionals on a sequentially complete locally convex algebra with an unconditional orthonormal basis, with an identity, and with an element [Formula: see text] mentioned in (iii) is obtained. All results are obtained only for commutative algebras.

AbstractLet $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}K$ be a locally compact hypergroup endowed with a left Haar measure and let $L^1(K)$ be the usual Lebesgue space of $K$ with respect to the left Haar measure. We investigate some properties of $L^1(K)$ under a locally convex topology $\beta ^1$. Among other things, the semireflexivity of $(L^1(K), \beta ^1)$ and of sequentially$\beta ^1$-continuous functionals is studied. We also show that $(L^1(K), \beta ^1)$ with the convolution multiplication is always a complete semitopological algebra, whereas it is a topological algebra if and only if $K$ is compact.

AbstractLet A be a complex sequentially complete, locally convex (not necessarily commutative) topological algebra with the defining family {pα}α∈D of seminorms in which (*): for each sequence xn → 0 there exists xm ∈ {xn} such that xmk → 0 as k → ∞. Then each multiplicative linear functional on a Fréchet algebra satisfying the above condition (*) is Continuous.These results answer open questions (1) and (2) (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 11, 1953) in the affirmative for Fréchet algebras in which (*) holds. It is also shown that a positive linear functional on such algebras with identity and continuous involution is continuous, thus partially generalizing Shah's result (1959).

The famous Cohen factorization theorem, which says that every Banach algebra with bounded approximate identity factors, has already been generalized to locally convex algebras with what may be termed “uniformly bounded approximate identities”. Here we introduce a new notion, that of fundamentality generalizing both local boundedness and local convexity, and we show that a fundamental Fréchet algebra with uniformly bounded approximate identity factors. Fundamentality is a topological vector space property rather than an algebra property. We exhibit some non-fundamental topological vector space and give a necessary condition for Orlicz space to be fundamental.

Abstract“Co-Frobenius” coalgebras were introduced as dualizations of Frobenius algebras. We previously showed that they admit left-right symmetric characterizations analogous to those of Frobenius algebras. We consider the more general quasi-co-Frobenius (QcF) coalgebras. The first main result in this paper is that these also admit symmetric characterizations: a coalgebra is QcF if it is weakly isomorphic to its (left, or right) rational dual Rat(C*) in the sense that certain coproduct or product powers of these objects are isomorphic. Fundamental results of Hopf algebras, such as the equivalent characterizations of Hopf algebras with nonzero integrals as left (or right) co-Frobenius, QcF, semiperfect or with nonzero rational dual, as well as the uniqueness of integrals and a short proof of the bijectivity of the antipode for such Hopf algebras all follow as a consequence of these results. This gives a purely representation theoretic approach to many of the basic fundamental results in the theory of Hopf algebras. Furthermore, we introduce a general concept of Frobenius algebra, which makes sense for infinite dimensional and for topological algebras, and specializes to the classical notion in the finite case. This will be a topological algebra A that is isomorphic to its complete topological dual Aν. We show that A is a (quasi)Frobenius algebra if and only if A is the dual C* of a (quasi)co-Frobenius coalgebra C. We give many examples of co-Frobenius coalgebras and Hopf algebras connected to category theory, homological algebra and the newer q-homological algebra, topology or graph theory, showing the importance of the concept.

Let A be a complex sequentially complete commutative locally m-convex topological algebra which is symmetric with continuous involution. The purpose of this note is to prove that every multiplicative linear functional on A is bounded (Theorem 3). In fact, we prove a more general result for operators on real algebras (Theorem 1) from which we derive the above result.

A dynamical system is a triple ( A , G , α ) consisting of a unital locally convex algebra A, a topological group G, and a group homomorphism α : G → Aut ( A ) that induces a continuous action of G on A. Furthermore, a unital locally convex algebra A is called a continuous inverse algebra, or CIA for short, if its group of units A × is open in A and the inversion map ι : A × → A × , a ↦ a − 1 is continuous at 1 A . Given a dynamical system ( A , G , α ) with a complete commutative CIA A and a compact group G, we show that each character of the corresponding fixed point algebra can be extended to a character of A.

We survey the present trends in theory of universal arrows to forgetful functors from various categories of topological algebra and functional analysis to categories of topology and topological algebra. Among them are free topological groups, free locally convex spaces, free Banach-Lie algebras, and more. An accent is put on the relationship of those constructions with other areas of mathematics and their possible applications. A number of open problems is discussed; some of them belong to universal arrow theory, and other may become amenable to the methods of this theory.
