On bornologicalness in locally convex algebras (Q2210334)

The authors define six subclasses of bornological algebras within the class of locally convex algebras and study the properties of these subclasses of topological algebras. They show that some subclasses are more general than others and provide characterizations of four subclasses of bornological algebras within the class of Hausdorff locally convex algebras. The characterizations use some properties of continuity of vector space seminorms and linear mappings to any locally convex space. Quite a long part of the paper is dedicated to examples of topological algebras which belong to some of the subclasses of bornological algebras. The authors provide examples showing that these subclasses of bornological algebras are really different from each other. In the last two chapters, the case of locally \(A\)-convex algebras and the case of pseudo-Banach algebras are considered and some bornology-related results for these cases are obtained.
