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: A disk is a convex and balanced set.
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:

  1. D absorbs every Banach disks in X.

while if X locally convex then we may add to this list:

  1. the guage of D is an infrabounded map;[1]

while if X locally convex and Hausdorff then we may add to this list:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. every bounded linear operator from X into a complete metrizable TVS is necessarily continuous;
  2. every infrabornivorous disk is a neighborhood of 0;
  3. X be the inductive limit of the spaces XD as D varies over all compact disks in X;
  4. a seminorm on X that is bounded on each Banach disk is necessarily continuous;
  5. 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;
  6. 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:

  1. 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.
  • 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.
