Reference request: Gaussian measures on duals of nuclear spaces

I am interested in constructive quantum field theory where Gaussian measures on duals of nuclear spaces (specifically, the space of tempered distribution $\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^n)$) play a key role. ...

Nuclear spaces and intuition behind their topology

In functional analysis the nuclear spaces (coined by Grothendieck before he became involved in revolutionizing algebraic geometry) can be considered as a kind of generalization of finite dimensional ...

"Weakly" nuclear operators (terminology)

Recently, I'd come across the following kind of operators and I wonder if they have been considered before and given a name. Let's say that a linear map $T:V\to W$ between locally convex topological ...

If $F$ is a countably normed, nuclear Fréchet space, can I then find a fundamental system which exhibits both of these properties at once?

Let $F$ a Fréchet space. This means that $F$ is a complete Hausdorff topological space whose topology can be generated by an increasing family of seminorms $\{ p_{n} \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$. Let's ...

A non nuclear $C^*$ algebra $A$ for which the algebraic tensor product $A\otimes A$ admits a unique $C^*$ norm

Is there a non nuclear $C^*$ algebra $A$ for which the minimum and maximum $C^*$ norms on $A\otimes A$ coincide? A somewhat similar question is discussed here.

multiplier algebra of a simple $C^*$ algebra

If $A=K(H)$, where $H$ is an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, then $A$ is simple and nuclear, and the multiplier algebra $M(A)$ of $A$ is not nuclear. My question is: can we find a non-...
