Analogue of $\ell^2(X)$ over an arbitrary Banach ring

Let $X$ be a set. Over the Banach fields $F=\mathbb{R}$ or $F=\mathbb{C}$ we can define the Banach space$$\ell^2(X)=\{\xi\colon X\to F\mid \sum_{x\in X}|\xi(x)|^2<\infty\}$$which satisfies a list ...

What's the size of non standard monad for weak topology?

There have been several works characterizing weak topology by nonstandard analysis, which give rise to the following monad ($X$ is a Hilbert space): $$\mu(0) = \{y\in{}^{*}X: \forall x\in X ~~ \...

When are the closed convex subsets countable intersections of halfspaces

For what kind of topological vector spaces (separable maybe?) are the closed convex subsets countable intersections of halfspaces. I've seen somewhere that it's true for separable Hilbert spaces, ...

Is the unitary group of a pre Hilbert space contractible?

I already posted my question on mathstackexchange For a separable Hilbert space $H$ it is known that the unitary group $U(H)$ is contractible, both for the norm topology (Kuiper's theorem) and for ...

Weak topology on subsets of a normed space

I have few questions about the subsets of a normed space $X$ endowed with the weak topology. Let $E$ be such subset. When is the norm a continuous function on $E$? When is the metric induced by the ...

Topological vector spaces that are isomorphic to their duals

After reviewing the (locally convex) topological vector spaces that I know, the only examples I could find where there is an isomorphism from the space to its (anti)dual, are Hilbert spaces. So my ...
