Feb 8, 2021 at 22:45 comment added user20948 The existence of a nonzero functional on a locally convex space is guarenteed by the Hahn-Banach theorem. $p$-Banach spaces are in general not locally convex if $p<1$.

Jul 7, 2010 at 19:31 comment added Asaf Karagila You are indeed correct. I'll do better not to dismiss the trivial case the next time.
Jul 7, 2010 at 18:54 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez Well, it is true that every vector space has a dual space, even $L^{1/2}$... and it is even true that every topological vector space has a continuous dual space... What you mean is that it is not true that every topological vector space has a non-trivial continuous dual space (or, that the continuous dual of a topological vector space does not necessarily separate points)
