It is known that any vector space can be realized as some function space. Now let us putUpdated: Following Michael's suggestion, I rephrase the vector topology inquestion slightly. When will
Given a locally convex (Hausdorff) topological vector space be(LCTVS), when is it isomorphic to a subspace of some function space $Y^X$ (equipped with the product topology)? Here by function space I mean the vector space of complex valued functions over some set.
Apparently, only locally convex spaceswhere $Y$ is, say, some Banach space (LCS)if it helps simplify things, can be our candidateassume (for$Y=\mathbb{C}$, the product topology is locally convexcomplex field). The question, and $X$ is whether all LCS can be realized as some function space?set. We are free to choose X and Y.
If not all LCTVS have this property, then what kind of conditions shoulddo we putneed?
Any reference would be appreciated, thanks!
