Academic literature on the topic 'Locally convex topological vector space'

Metric topologies can be viewed as one-dimensional measures. This dissertation is a topological study of two-dimensional measures. Attention is focused on locally convex vector topologies on infinite dimensional real spaces. A nabla (referred to in the literature as a 2-norm) is the analogue of a norm which assigns areas to the parallelograms. Nablas are defined for the classical normed spaces and techniques are developed for defining nablas on arbitrary spaces. The work here brings out a strong connection with tensor and wedge products. Aside from the normable theory, it is shown that nabla topologies need not be metrizable or Mackey. A class of concretely given non-Mackey nablas on the ℓp and Lp spaces is introduced and extensively analyzed. Among other results it is found that the topological dual of ℓ₁ with respect to these nabla topologies is C₀, one of the spaces infamous for having no normed predual. Also, a connection is made with the theory of two-norm convergence (not to be confused with 2-norms). In addition to the hard analysis on the classical spaces, a duality framework from which to study the softer aspects is introduced. This theory is developed in analogy with polar duality. The ideas corresponding to barrelledness, quasi-barrelledness, equicontinuity and so on are developed. This dissertation concludes with a discussion of angles in arbitrary normed spaces and a list of open questions.

In the rst chapter we present two sections of basic results and in the other sections we present a more general study of such spaces. In the second chapter we restrict ourselves to the real scalar eld and we study, in the context of locally convex spaces, the Hahn-Banach and Banach-Alaoglu theorems. We also build the weak, weak-star, of bounded convergence and of pointwise convergence topologies. Finally we investigate the Theorem of Banach-Steinhauss, the Open Mapping Theorem and the Closed Graph Theorem.<br>Neste trabalho, estudamos o conceito de espa cos vetoriais topol ogicos e suas propriedades.

Consider an open subset O of the complex plane and a function f : O ÝÑ C. We understand the concept of holomorphicity of a complex-valued function. Suppose a function f defined on O takes values in a locally convex topological vector space (the complex plane is one particular example of a locally convex topological vector space). We want to study the notion of holomorphicity for f in this general setting. In the paper “Sur certains espaces de fonctions holomorphes I” [1], Alexandre Grothendieck deals with the concept of holomorphicity of vector-valued functions and duality. We read, understand, reproduce and at times fill in necessary details of the content of section 2 and a portion of section 4 of the paper. We understand the extension of Lebesgue integral to vector-valued functions on a measure space, named after I.M. Gelfand and B.J. Pettis as Gelfand-Pettis integral or Pettis integral (page 77 in [2]). Using the definition of Pettis integral and some results from complex analysis we introduce three notions of holomorphicity for the function f: holomorphicity of f on the open set O, weak derivability of f at a point zo P O and strong differentiability of f at a point zo P O. In Chapter 2 (section 2 in [1]) of this thesis, we study the conditions under which the first two notions of holomorphicity, i.e., f is holomorphic on the open set O and f is weakly derivable at every point of O coincide. Further the same conditions will imply the strong differentiability of f at each point of O. Also, we study Cauchy’s integral formula and Taylor’s expansion for vector valued holomorphic functions in Chapter 2. In section 4 of the paper “Sur certains espaces de fonctions holomorphes I” [1], for a subset of the Riemann sphere, Grothendieck introduces the space Pp ,Eq as the space of all locally holomorphic functions on vanishing at 8 if 8 P . He further considers two locally convex topological vector spaces E and F in separate duality and proves that the spaces Pp 1,Eq and Pp 2, Fq, where 1 and 2 are complementary subsets of the Riemann sphere, are in separate duality under some general conditions. In Chapter 3 of this thesis, which constitute the main portion of the thesis, we study the space Pp ,Eq and further present the argument of Grothendieck for separating duality with all details

In this dissertation we establish results concerning in locally convex spaces-valued measures and measurable functions. The results are explained in three parts: Firstly, we establish Liapounoff convexity-type results for locally convex space-valued measures defined on fields (of sets) or equivalently on Boolean Algebras. Liapounoff convexity-type theorems concern the compactness and convexity of the closure of the range of a vector measure. We specifically investigate such results for measures defined on fields and fields of sets with the interpolation property. We find that vector measures defined on fields with the interpolation property have properties very similar to the status quo, while similar results may not hold for vector measures defined on general fields. In the latter case we consider vector measures with properties stronger than non-atomicity, specifically, the strong continuity property. We investigate these properties and certain locally convex spaces for which some of the additivity conditions can be relaxed. In the second part of this dissertation, we firstly consider the existence of weak integrals in locally convex spaces specifically, locally convex spaces whose duals are barrelled spaces. Then, inspired by results of J. Diestel we investigate the "improved" properties of the composition of nuclear maps with a locally convex space-valued measures and functions and the properties of nuclear space-valued vector measures and functions. Amongst others we find that the measurability and integrability properties of locally convex space-valued measurable functions are improved with such a composition compared to the functions considered on their own. The third part of this dissertation involves the factorization of measurable functions. We first consider the factorization of Polish space-valued measurable functions along the lines of the famous "Doob-Dynkin's lemma", a result found in (scalar-valued) stochastic processes. This allows us to determine when, for two measurable functions, f and g it is possible to find a measurable function h, such that g= h ○ f. Similar results are established for various classes of measurable functions. We discover similar factorization results for certain multifunctions (set-valued functions) and operator-valued measurable functions. Another consequence is a factorization scheme for operators on L1(µ).<br>Thesis (PhD(Mathematics))--University of Pretoria, 2010.<br>Mathematics and Applied Mathematics<br>unrestricted

This thesis deals with cohomologies on the symplectic quotient of a Frölicher space which is locally diffeomorphic to a Euclidean Frölicher subspace of Rn of constant dimension equal to n. The symplectic reduction under consideration in this thesis is an extension of the Marsden-Weinstein quotient (also called, the reduced space) well-known from the finite-dimensional smooth manifold case. That is, starting with a proper and free action of a Frölicher-Lie-group on a locally Euclidean Frölicher space of finite constant dimension, we study the smooth structure and the topology induced on a small subspace of the orbit space. It is on this topological space that we will construct selected cohomologies such as : sheaf cohomology, Alexander-Spanier cohomology, singular cohomology, ~Cech cohomology and de Rham cohomology. Some natural questions that will be investigated are for instance: the impact of the symplectic structure on these di erent cohomologies; the cohomology that will give a good description of the topology on the objects of category of Frölicher spaces; the extension of the de Rham cohomology theorem in order to establish an isomorphism between the five cohomologies. Beside the algebraic, topological and geometric study of these new objects, the thesis contains a modern formalism of Hamiltonian mechanics on the reduced space under symplectic and Poisson structures.<br>Mathematical Sciences<br>D.
