Sequential separability on $C_p(X)$

Definition. Let $E$ be a topological space. Suppose that $E$ contains a sequence $\{x_n\}$ such that for every $x\in E$, there exists a subsequence $\{x_{n_k}\}$ of $\{x_n\}$ with $x=\lim x_{n_k}$. ...

An approximation property in a separable topological vector space

Let $X$ be a topological vector space. Let us say that $X$ enjoys sequential separablity if there exists a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in $X$ such that for every $x\in X$ there exists a subsequence of $\{...

Topologies on space of compactly supported continuous functions

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space. As far as I understand, the space $C_c(X) = C_c(X; \mathbb{C})$ of compactly supported continuous complex-valued functions on $X$ is (most?) often ...

Is the Vietoris topology on compact subsets of $\mathbb R^n$ locally convex?

The title question says it all really. If the question is negative for compact subsets of $\mathbb R^n$, is it affirmative for compact and convex subsets of $\mathbb R^n$? How about for all nonempty ...

Two notions of boundedness in metrizable topological vector space [closed]

In a metrizable topological vector space X with the metric d, a subset A is said to be bounded if it can be absorbed by any neighbourhood of 0 and a subset A is said to be d-bounded if its diameter ...

The completeness of spaces of continuous functions with the compact-open topology

For a Tychonoff space $X$ let $C_k(X)$ denote the space of continuous real-valued functions on $X$, endowed with the compact-open topology. Problem. Is the space $C_k(X)$ Polish if it is Polishable ...

Approximation of the identity by finite range functions in topological vector spaces

Let $X$ be a topological vector space. Assume that there exists a sequence $\phi_n:X\to X$ of finite range measurable functions with $\lim\phi_n(x)=x$ for every $x\in X$. Can we concluded there exists ...

Are second-countable subsets of topological vector spaces metrizable?

Let $X$ be a topological vector space of size $\mathfrak{c}$. Assume that there exists a countable union $X=\cup X_n$ such that all subsets $X_n$'s are relatively second countable. Q. Does there ...

Separable Lindelöf locally convex spaces that are not second-countable

A Lindelöf space is a topological space in which every open cover has a countable subcover. Does there exists a Lindelöf locally convex space which is not second countable? I am also looking for a ...

A strict directed colimit of Hausdorff locally-convex spaces that is not Hausdorff

We work in the category of locally-convex spaces (morphisms are the continuous linear maps). Let $\Lambda$ be a directed set, for every $\lambda \in \Lambda$ let $V_{\lambda}$ be a locally-convex ...

Examples of topologies compatible with a given dual pair

Let $\langle X, Y \rangle$ be a pair of vector spaces put in duality by a non-degenerate bilinear form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle: X \times Y \to \mathbb{R}$. A topology $\tau$ on $X$ is called ...
