Ptak space

A locally convex topological vector space (TVS) X is B-complete or a Ptak space if every subspace is closed in the weak-* topology on (i.e. or ) whenever is closed in A (when A is given the subspace topology from ) for each equicontinuous subset .[1]

B-completeness is related to -completeness, where a locally convex TVS X is -complete if every dense subspace is closed in whenever is closed in A (when A is given the subspace topology from ) for each equicontinuous subset .[1]

Characterizations

Let X be a locally convex TVS. Then the following are equivalent:

  1. X is a Ptak space.
  2. Every continuous nearly open linear map of X into any locally convex space Y is a topological homomorphism.[2]
  • Recall that a linear map is called nearly open if for each neighborhood U of the origin in X, is dense in some neighborhood of the origin in .

The following are equivalent:

  1. X is -complete.
  2. Every continuous biunivocal, nearly open linear map of X into any locally convex space Y is a TVS-isomorphism.[2]

Properties
  • (Homomorphism Theorem) Every continuous linear map from a Ptak space onto a barreled space is a topological homomorphism.[3]
  • Let be a nearly open linear map whose domain is dense in a -complete space X and whose range is a locally convex space Y. Suppose that the graph of u is closed in . If u is injective or if X is a Ptak space then u is an open map.[4]

Examples and sufficient conditions
  • Every closed subspace of a Ptak space (resp. a Br-complete space) is a Ptak space (resp. a -complete space).[1]
  • If X is a locally convex space such that there exists a continuous nearly open surjection u : P → X from a Ptak space, then X is a Ptak space.[3]
  • Every Hausdorff quotient of a Ptak space is a Ptak space.[4]
  • If every Hausdorff quotient of a TVS X is a Br-complete space then X is a B-complete space.
  • If a TVS X has a closed hyperplane that is B-complete (resp. Br-complete) then X is B-complete (resp. Br-complete).

There are Br-complete spaces that are not B-complete.
