Metrizable topological vector space

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a metrizable (resp. pseudometrizable) topological vector space (TVS) is a TVS whose topology is induced by a metric (resp. pseudometric). An LM-space is an inductive limit of a sequence of locally convex metrizable TVS. A pseudometric on a set is a map satisfying the following properties: Symmetry: ; Subadditivity: A pseudometric is called a metric if it satisfies: Identity of indiscernibles: for all if then Ultrapseudometric A pseudometric on is called a ultrapseudometric or a strong pseudometric if it satisfies: Strong/Ultrametric triangle inequality: Pseudometric space A pseudometric space is a pair consisting of a set and a pseudometric on such that 's topology is identical to the topology on induced by We call a pseudometric space a metric space (resp. ultrapseudometric space) when is a metric (resp. ultrapseudometric). If is a pseudometric on a set then collection of open balls: as ranges over and ranges over the positive real numbers, forms a basis for a topology on that is called the -topology or the pseudometric topology on induced by If is a pseudometric space and is treated as a topological space, then unless indicated otherwise, it should be assumed that is endowed with the topology induced by Pseudometrizable space A topological space is called pseudometrizable (resp. metrizable, ultrapseudometrizable) if there exists a pseudometric (resp. metric, ultrapseudometric) on such that is equal to the topology induced by An additive topological group is an additive group endowed with a topology, called a group topology, under which addition and negation become continuous operators. A topology on a real or complex vector space is called a vector topology or a TVS topology if it makes the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication continuous (that is, if it makes into a topological vector space). Every topological vector space (TVS) is an additive commutative topological group but not all group topologies on are vector topologies.

The ABCD of topological recursion

Nicolas Gerson Orantin

Kontsevich and Soibelman reformulated and slightly generalised the topological recursion of [43], seeing it as a quantisation of certain quadratic Lagrangians in T*V for some vector space V. KS topological recursion is a procedure which takes as initial da ...

A topological space is a space endowed with a notion of nearness. A metric space is an example of a topological space, where the concept of nearness is measured by a distance function. Within this abs

We introduce locally convex vector spaces. As an example we treat the space of test functions and the space of distributions. In the second part of the course, we discuss differential calculus in Bana

The course studies fundamental concepts of analysis and the calculus of functions of several variables.

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a barrelled space (also written barreled space) is a topological vector space (TVS) for which every barrelled set in the space is a neighbourhood for the zero vector. A barrelled set or a barrel in a topological vector space is a set that is convex, balanced, absorbing, and closed. Barrelled spaces are studied because a form of the Banach–Steinhaus theorem still holds for them. Barrelled spaces were introduced by .

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a set in a topological vector space is called bounded or von Neumann bounded, if every neighborhood of the zero vector can be inflated to include the set. A set that is not bounded is called unbounded. Bounded sets are a natural way to define locally convex polar topologies on the vector spaces in a dual pair, as the polar set of a bounded set is an absolutely convex and absorbing set. The concept was first introduced by John von Neumann and Andrey Kolmogorov in 1935.

In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis, a bornological space is a type of space which, in some sense, possesses the minimum amount of structure needed to address questions of boundedness of sets and linear maps, in the same way that a topological space possesses the minimum amount of structure needed to address questions of continuity. Bornological spaces are distinguished by the property that a linear map from a bornological space into any locally convex spaces is continuous if and only if it is a bounded linear operator.
