On the splitting relation for Fréchet-Hilbert spaces (Q548506)

The splitting problem for exact sequences of locally convex spaces consists in characterizing those pairs \((E,F)\) of locally convex spaces for which every short exact sequence \(0\rightarrow F\rightarrow G\rightarrow E \rightarrow 0\) splits. For pairs \((E,F)\) of Fréchet-Hilbert spaces, this was solved by \textit{P. Domański} and \textit{M. Mastyło}, [``Characterization of splitting for Fréchet--Hilbert spaces via interpolation'', Math. Ann. 339, No.~2, 317--340 (2007; Zbl 1132.46043)]. In the present paper, a short elegant proof of this result is presented, including a new formulation and the proof of the crucial interpolation theorem from [loc.\,cit.] and full proofs of the results on acyclicity of inductive spectra, as far as they are needed in the difficult sufficiency part of the characterization.
