Abstract: In this note we study the weak topology on paired modules over a (not necessarily commutative) ground ring. Over QF rings we are able to recover most of the well known properties of this topology in the case of commutative base fields. The properties of the linear weak topology and the dense pairings are then used to characterize pairings satisfying the so called $alpha$-condition.

Review text

The properties of linear weak topologies associated to pairings over commutative fields are well known. However, those properties are not valid anymore for the case of an arbitrary base ring. The author studies them using module theoretic methods. Let \(P=(V,W)\) be a pairing where \(V\) and \(W\) are right and left \(R\)-modules, respectively. The linear weak topology on \(V\) makes the canonical map \(\kappa_P\colon V\to{^*W}\) continuous where \(^*W\) has the finite topology, i.e., the induced relative topology from \(R^W\) (\(R\) has the discrete topology and \(R^W\) the product one). Some results obtained are the characterizations of closure and density when \(R_R\) is an injective cogenerator (more precise results are proved when \(R\) is a QF-ring), and continuity of some module maps. The last section concerns the \(\alpha\)-condition on pairings. This condition is used in the study of duality theorems of Hopf algebras. It says that for every right \(R\)-module \(M\) the canonical map \(\alpha_M^P\colon M\otimes_RW\to\Hom_R(V,M)\) is injective. Of course this property is connected with flatness and purity of \(R\)-modules. The author uses the \(\alpha\)-condition to characterize when \(P\) is dense, i.e. \(\kappa_P(V)\subseteq{^*W}\) is a dense subspace, and \(W\) locally projective (in the sense of Zimmermann-Huisgen).
