Maximal Op\(^*\)-algebras on DF-domains (Q1179993)

Summary: Let \(D\) be any dense domain in a Hilbert space and let \({\mathcal L}^ +(D)\) be the maximal Op\(^*\)-algebra of (possibly unbounded) linear operators. In this paper the uniform topology \(\tau_ D\) on \({\mathcal L}^ +(D)\) is investigated for the case where \(D\) is a DF-space with respect to the graph topology. As a main result, a characterization of the bounded subsets of \(D\) and of the topology \(\tau_ D\) by strongly bounded selfadjoint operators is given. Especially, each bounded subset of \(D\) is contained in some bounded ellipsoid. This is applied to approximate the operators in \({\mathcal L}^ +(D)\) by bounded ones.
