No label defined (Q4353992)

Starting from the two notions ``Bairelike'' and ``suprabarrelled'' for lcs and the fact that a lcs \(E\) is suprabarrelled if and only if for every increasing sequence \((E_k)_k\) of linear subspaces of \(E\) covering \(E\) there is a \(k\in\mathbb{N}\) such that \(E_k\) is Bairelike, the authors call a lcs \(E\) ``barrelled of class \(n\)'' if for every increasing sequence \((E_k)_k\) of linear subspaces of \(E\) covering \(E\) there is a \(k\) such that \(E_k\) is barrelled of class \(n-1\), where ``barrelled of class 1'' is defined as ``suprabarrelled''. Moreover, they call a lcs \(E\) ``barrelled of class \(\aleph_0\)'', if \(E\) is barrelled of class \(n\) for every \(n\in \mathbb{N}\). Given a set \(X\) and a \(\sigma\)-algebra \({\mathcal A}\) of subsets of \(X\), the authors consider the space \(\ell_0^\infty (X,{\mathcal A})\) generated by all characteristic functions \(\chi_A\) \((A\in{\mathcal A})\), provided with the supremum norm. Generalizing a result of M. Valdivia (1979), who proved the suprabarrelledness of \(\ell_0^\infty (X,{\mathcal A})\), the authors show that \(\ell_0^\infty (X,{\mathcal A})\) is even barrelled of class \(\aleph_0\).
