Totally bounded endomorphisms on a topological ring (Q6486679)

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be two topological rings. A group homomorphism \(T:X\to Y\) is btb-bounded (resp. tbtb-bounded, tbb-bounded) if for every bounded (resp. totally bounded, totally bounded) subset \(B\subset X\), \(T(B)\) is totally bounded (resp. totally bounded, bounded) in \(Y\).NEWLINENEWLINE [A subset \(B\) in a topological ring \(X\) is bounded (resp. totally bounded) if for each zero neighbourhood \(U\subset X\) there is a zero neighbourhood \(V\subset X\) (resp. a finite set \(F\subset X\)) such that \(VB\subset U\) and \(BV\subset U\) (resp. \(B\subset F+U\)).]NEWLINENEWLINE The classes of all btb-bounded, tbtb-bounded and tbb-bounded endomorphisms on a locally bounded topological ring \(X\) are denoted by \(B_{btb}(X)\), \(B_{tbtb}(X)\) and \(B_{tbb}(X)\)), respectively, and they are equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets. The authors prove that each class is complete if and only if \(X\) is complete.
