Is the test function topology a Mackey topology?
I am a physicist, and I have lately been thinking about distributions as they appear in quantum field theory. In the standard development of the theory of distributions, one considers the space $C^{\...

Effect of dualization of density
Let $D\subset X$ be a dense subset of a complete separable locally convex space $X$ over $\mathbb{R}$. Though the question seems simple enough, I can't seem to find the answer in the literature:
If $...

If $X$ is separable space then $X^∗$ is separable in all topologies $\tau$ such that $(X^∗,\tau)^∗ =X$?
Let $(X,\|.\|_{X})$ be a separable Banach space and the associated dual space is denoted
by $X^*$. By $w^*$ we shall indicate the weak$-*$ topology on $X^*$.
Let $B_{X^∗}= \{x^∗ \in X^∗ : \|x^∗\|_{X^∗...

Topologies of pairs and closed bounded convex sets
[I have posted this question on MSE some time ago, but received no answer.]
It is known, that if two locally convex topologies on a vector space determine the same collection of continuous linear ...

Criterion for weak compactness
Let $F$ be a metrizable locally convex space (you may assume it is a Banach space), and let $E$ be a complete locally convex space (you may assume it is a Frechet space). Let $T$ be a continuous ...

Characterization of the weak completion of $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$
The completion $\overline{L^2_w(\mathbb{R}^d)}$ of $L^2_w(\mathbb{R}^d)$ (i.e. the completion of $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ endowed with the $\sigma(L^2(\mathbb{R}^d),L^2(\mathbb{R}^d))$ topology) is ...

Is the closed ball of a normed space closed in any Hausdorff locally convex topology, weaker than the norm topology?
Assume that we have a normed space $X$ and a subspace $Y$ of $X^{*}$ such that $Y^{\perp}=\{0\}$. They form a non-degenerate dual pare.
Moreover, $\|y\|=\sup_{x\in B_{X}}|\langle x,y\rangle|$, where $...
