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^{\...

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 $...
