Topological algebras over a discrete commutative ring are investigated in the article. Remind that the algebra \(A\) is called hereditarily linearly compact if every closed subalgebra is linearly compact. The following results are the main in the reviewer's opinion: The Jacobson radical of a hereditarily linearly compact algebra is strongly linearly compact, topologically nilpotent and bounded. The class of all hereditarily linearly compact \(F\)-algebras is the smallest subclass of the class of algebras with a basis of neighbourhoods of zero of left ideals which contains all the discrete infinite dimensional algebras, all the matrix algebras over finite dimensional algebras and is closed with respect to taking topological products, closed subalgebras and extensions. For a discrete field \(F\) the following results are equivalent: Every hereditarily linearly compact \(F\)-algebra is strongly linearly compact. Every hereditarily linearly compact \(F\)-algebra is bounded. Every algebraic extension of \(F\) has finite index.
