On the normability of generalized Šerstnev PN spaces (Q2470494)

Probabilistic Normed spaces were introduced by \textit{A. N. Serstnev} [Docl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 149, 280--283 (1963; Zbl 0127.34902)] and redefined by \textit{C. Alsina, B. Schweizer} and \textit{A. Sklar} [Aequationes Math. 46, 91--98 (1993; Zbl 0792.46062)]. The authors adopt the definition of Alsina, Schweizer and Sklar for Probabilistic Normed spaces, called generalized Serstnev PN spaces. It is an open question whether a generalized Serstnev PN space is normable. In this paper some sufficient conditions for normability are given. The investigation is related to Kolmogorov's classical characterization of normability for \( T_1\) spaces [\textit{A. N. Kolmogorov}, Studia Math. 5, 29--33 (1934; JFM 60.1229.02)].
