Motivation behind locally convex spaces, seminorms, and Frechet spaces

I am looking for some motivation behind the definition of locally convex spaces, seminorms, and Frechet spaces. Since all three concepts are related I have grouped them as one question. I am familiar with the technical definitions but I don't see…

Spectral theory for Frechet algebra?

In most textbooks discussing spectral theory of operators, they focus on a Banach algebra of operators due to the power that completeness provides. Frechet spaces are complete metric spaces too, so is there a well-developed spectral theory for a…

Strict inductive limit of sequentially complete locally convex spaces

If $\{A_n\}$ is a strict inductive sequence of Hausdorff locally convex spaces (meaning each of the connecting maps $\iota_{n,n+1}:A_n \rightarrow A_{n+1}$ is a topological inclusion) with each $A_n$ being sequentially complete. Then is…

Comparison between the summability of fourier coefficients as smooth and $L^2$ function

Let $\mathbb{T} = [0,2\pi]$. It is is well-known that $ L^2(\mathbb{T})$ and $ l_2(\mathbb{Z})$ are isometrically isomorphic via the Fourier transform and the Fourier series is its inverse. Parseval's identity states that $\lVert f \rVert_2^2 =…

Is there an abstract reason why alot of calculus tools that exist on Banach spaces fail in Frechet spaces?

As far as I can tell, which doesnt have to mean much, Frechet spaces are basicly the "closest possible" generalisation of Banach spaces, since every Frechet space is a sequential limit of Banach spaces in the category of locally convex topological…

Perturbation of semi-Fredholm operators in Frèchet spaces

It is well known that the index is a continuous function on the set of Semi-Fredholm operators on a Banach space, and even on quasi-Banach spaces. The result is unfortunately false in general Fréchet spaces, as exemplified below. I am interested in…

Finding a set of "graded" seminorms on the Schwartz space

For any fixed $N \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ be the Schwartz space. Then, it is well-known that $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ is a Fréchet space with the seminorms: \begin{equation} \lVert f \rVert_{n, \alpha} := \sup_{ x \in…

What minimal properties of a TVS ensure that the closure of an open ball is the closed ball?

Let $X$ be a metrizable topological vector space (TVS) over $\mathbb R\text{ or }\mathbb C$, and consider the following two properties that $X$ might have. Local convexity Completeness (as a TVS, which implies completeness in any invariant…

why quojections are prequojections

While reading about quojections and prequojections in the book "Advances in the Theory of Fréchet Spaces," I'm having trouble understanding why every quojection is necessarily a prequojection. Could someone clarify the reasoning behind this? by the…

Condition for showing families of seminorms generate same topology

There is a statement about locally convex spaces in Reed & Simon, Methods of Modern Mathematical Physics (Vol I, Section V.1) that is given without a proof. The statement is: Given two families of seminorms $\{\rho_\alpha\}_{\alpha \in A}$ and…

Is the dual of the space of semi-regular distributions complete

Consider $C^\infty(X)$, equipped with its Fr'echet structure, and $\mathcal D'(Y)$, equipped with the strong topology, where $X,Y$ are compact manifolds. Is the strong dual of $C^\infty(X)\hat\otimes \mathcal D'(Y)$ a complete topological vector…

Is the Fréchet quotient space given by the induced seminorms?

We admit the following definition of Fréchet space. The definition of Fréchet space: Let $X$ be a linear space and let $\{p_i:X\to\mathbb R^+\}_{i\in \mathbb N}$ be a countable family of seminorms such that $p_i(x)\ne 0$ for some $i\in\mathbb N$…

Is there a preferred topology making the general linear group of a Frechet space into a topological group?

Is there a preferred topology on the isomorphisms of a Frechet space giving them the structure of a topological group? I was playing with the metric and strong operator topology on the general linear group of Schwartz space…

Continuous maps between Frechet spaces (related to definition of Fourier multiplier )

I'm trying to understand a proof of the following simple statement: Let $A:C^\infty(\mathbb{S}^1,\mathbb{C})\to C^\infty(\mathbb{S}^1,\mathbb{C})$ be a continuous linear operator on the Frechet space $C^\infty(\mathbb{S}^1,\mathbb{C})$. If $A$…

Complemented range operators on Fréchet spaces

Let $F$ be a Fréchet space and $A:F\rightarrow F$ a continuous linear operator such that $A\left( F\right) $ is closed and there is some closed subspace $E\subset F$ such that $F=A\left( F\right) \oplus E$. Is there some neighborhood $V$ of $0$ such…
