Jun 24, 2014 at 15:37 comment added Matthias Ludewig The Remark after proposition 4.26 that you mention states that the $c^\infty$-topology is not a vector space topology on $C^\infty_c(\mathbb{R})$. I don't see however, why the $c^\infty$-topology should coincide with the inductive topology mentioned above, as you claim. I also did not find this statement anywhere in your book. In fact, I believe that this cannot be true as the inductive topology is a vector space topology, as I prove in the Edit above. Did I make a mistake in my proof?

Apr 25, 2014 at 6:06 comment added Matthias Ludewig I DO know that in general. Still, this does not mean that the two topologies cannot coincide in this special case. I want a specific argument why they don't in this one very important special case!
Apr 24, 2014 at 22:45 comment added paul garrett @Kofi, one point is that the colimit in the category of all TVS's is different from the colimit in the category of locally_convex TVSs. The loc-convex colimit is ("of course") locally convex. Some colimits don't exist at all in the larger category: uncountable colimits of lines... as in math.umn.edu/~garrett/m/fun/uncountable_coproducts.pdf
Apr 22, 2014 at 14:37 comment added Matthias Ludewig Did I understand something wrong? By Prop. 4.26(ii), the $c^\infty$ topology is not a vector space topology on the strict inductive limit of Fréchet spaces. But the inductive topology above is a vector space topology!
Apr 22, 2014 at 13:45 comment added Matthias Ludewig Thank you for your answer! But do you have an argument, why the first topology is not locally convex?
