Larger possible chain of closed subspaces in the dual of a Banach space

In this question, is demonstrated that a separable space can have a chain (ordered by inclusion) of closed subspaces with uncountable many subspaces. My question is the following. If $X$ is an ...

Metrizing pointwise convergence of *sequences* of functionals in a dual space

This question was asked by myself on the math stackexchange a few days ago. I thought I'd repeat it here: Let $X$ be a normed, real vector space of uncountable dimension. Let $X^*$ denote the set of ...

Topological vector spaces (reference request)

In his book Topological Function Spaces Arhangel'skii says that "it is well known that every nontrivial locally convex linear topological space $X$ is homeomorphic to a space of the form $Y \...

A map into a Hilbert space with prescribed orthogonality

Let $X$ be a locally compact separable metric space, and let $L:X\times X\to \mathbb{C}$ be continuous and such that $L(x,x)=1$ and $L(y,x)=\overline{L(x,y)}$, for every $x,y$. Does there always ...

$Ax=b$ in a function space

Let $X$ be compact Hausdorff topological space, $C(X)$ denote the algebra of complex-valued continuous functions on $X$, $b\in \mathbb{C}^m$, $\mathbf{A}\in C(X)^{m\times n}$, for all $x\in X$, $b\...

dual space of the quotient space of some locally convex topological space

I would like to a classical result about dual space. Let $E$ be a locally convex space and $F$ its closed linear subspace. If $E^{\ast}$ is the dual space of $E$, could some one affirm me that the ...

Isomorphisms between topological vector spaces [closed]

Let $f : X \to Y$ be a continuous map of complete topological vector spaces. Suppose that $A \subseteq X$ and $B \subseteq Y$ are proper, dense linear subspaces, and that the restriction map $f : A \...

Extending a Hilbert space isometrically

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, and let $X$ be a topological vector space. Under what conditions on the topologies of $X$ and $H$ does there exist an injective, continuous linear map $f : H \to X$? ...

Topologizing free abelian groups

For any set $S$ one can consider the free abelian group $\mathbb{Z}[S]$ generated by this set. Now suppose, there is a topology on $S$ given. Is it possible to find a topology on $\mathbb{Z}[S]$ in ...
