Ultrabornological space
In functional analysis, a topological vector space (TVS) X is called ultrabornological if every bounded linear operator from X into another TVS is necessarily continuous.
Definitions
Let X be a topological vector space (TVS).
Preliminaries
- Definition:[1] A linear map between two TVSs is called infrabounded if it maps Banach disks to bounded disks.
- Definition:[1] A disk in a TVS X is called bornivorous if it absorbs every bounded subset of X.
A disk D in a TVS X is called infrabornivorous if it satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions:
- D absorbs every Banach disks in X.
while if X locally convex then we may add to this list:
while if X locally convex and Hausdorff then we may add to this list:
- D absorbs all compact disks.[1]
- i.e. D is "compactivorious".
Ultrabornological space
A TVS X is ultrabornological if it satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions:
- every infrabornivorous disk in X is a neighborhood of the origin;[1]
while if X is a locally convex space then we may add to this list:
- every bounded linear operator from X into a complete metrizable TVS is necessarily continuous;
- every infrabornivorous disk is a neighborhood of 0;
- X be the inductive limit of the spaces XD as D varies over all compact disks in X;
- a seminorm on X that is bounded on each Banach disk is necessarily continuous;
- for every locally convex space Y and every linear map u : X → Y, if u is bounded on each Banach disk then u is continuous;
- for every Banach space Y and every linear map u : X → Y, if u is bounded on each Banach disk then u is continuous.
while if X is a Hausdorff locally convex space then we may add to this list:
- X is an inductive limit of Banach spaces;[1]
Properties
Every ultrabornological space X is the inductive limit of a family of nuclear Fréchet spaces, spanning X.
Every ultrabornological space X is the inductive limit of a family of nuclear DF-spaces, spanning X.
Every ultrabornological space is a quasi-ultrabarrelled space. Every locally convex ultrabornological space is a bornological space but there exist bornological spaces that are not ultrabornological.
Examples and sufficient conditions
- Every bornological space that is quasi-complete is ultrabornological.
- In particular, every Fréchet space is ultrabornological.
- Every metrizable TVS is ultrabornological.
- The finite product of ultrabornological spaces is ultrabornological.
- Inductive limits of ultrabornological spaces are ultrabornological.
Counter-exmples
- There exist ultrabarrelled spaces that are not ultrabornological.
- There exist ultrabornological spaces that are not ultrabarrelled.
