Topologies of uniform convergence. The property in the sense of Arens-Dugundji and the sequential property (Q2439364)

Let \(C(X,Y)\) denote the set of all continuous mappings from a topological space \(X\) into a metrizable space \(Y\). Let \(T_U\) be the set of all topologies of uniform convergence on \(C(X,Y)\). The authors investigate when the topology \(\tau_{\inf} = \inf T_U\) is a proper (admissible) topology in the sense of \textit{R. Arens} and \textit{J. Dugundji} [Pac. J. Math. 1, 5--31 (1951; Zbl 0044.11801)]. They also introduce the notion of sequentially proper topology. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the sequential properness of \(\tau_{\inf}\) are obtained. Relations of the maximal sequentially proper topology \(\tau_s^{*}\) with \(\tau_{\inf}\) and the maximal proper topology \(\tau^{*}\) are established. In particular, it is investigated when \(\tau_{\inf}\) coincides with \(\tau^{*}\) or \(\tau_s^{*}\).
