Abstract: For every filter mathcalF on mathbbN, we introduce and study corresponding uniform mathcalF-boundedness principles for locally convex topological vector spaces. These principles generalise the classical uniform boundedness principles for sequences of continuous linear maps by coinciding with these principles when the filter mathcalF equals the Fr'echet filter of cofinite subsets of mathbbN. We determine combinatorial properties for the filter mathcalF which ensure that these uniform mathcalF-boundedness principles hold for every Fr'echet space. Furthermore, for several types of Fr'echet spaces, we also isolate properties of mathcalF that are necessary for the validity of these uniform mathcalF-boundedness principles. For every infinite-dimensional Banach space X, we obtain in this way exact combinatorial characterisations of those filters mathcalF for which the corresponding uniform mathcalF-boundedness principles hold true for X.


A filter \(\mathcal F\) on \(\mathbb{N}\) is called: \(1^{\circ}\) a weak \(P^+\)-filter if for every decreasing sequence \((A_k)_k\) of sets in \(\mathcal F\) and for every \(\mathcal F\)-stationary set \(I\subseteq \mathbb{N}\) there exists an \(\mathcal F\)-stationary set \(B\subseteq I\) such that \(B\subseteq^*A_k\) for every \(k\); \(2^{\circ}\) a \(P^+\)-filter if for every sequence \((A_k)_k\) of \(\mathcal F\)-stationary sets, there exists an \(\mathcal F\)-stationary set \(B\) such that \(B\subseteq^*A_k\) for every \(k\); \(3^{\circ}\) a rapid\({}^+\) filter if for every \(\mathcal F\)-stationary set \(I\subseteq \mathbb{N}\) and every strictly increasing function \(f: \mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}\) there exists an \(\mathcal F\)-stationary set \(B\subseteq I\) such that the function enumerating \(B\) dominates \(f\), i.e., \(f\leq\eta_B\). Let \(X, Y\) be topological vector spaces. The authors call a sequence \((T_i)_i\) in \(\mathcal L(X,Y)\) \(\mathcal F\)-stationary-equicontinuous if for every \(\mathcal F\)-stationary set \(I\subseteq \mathbb{N}\) and every \(0\)-neighbourhood \(V\) in \(Y\), there exists a \(0\)-neighbourhood \(U\) in \(X\) such that \((\exists J\in\mathcal F^+,J\subseteq I)\,(\forall i\in J)\,T_i[U]\subseteq V\). Further, the stationary uniform \(\mathcal F\)-boundedness principle is said to hold for continuous linear maps from \(X\) to \(Y\) when every pointwise \(\mathcal F\)-bounded sequence in \(\mathcal L(X,Y)\) is \(\mathcal F\)-stationary-equicontinuous, and it holds for \(X\) if it holds for the pair \(X,Y\) for every locally convex space \(Y\). Among other results, the following is proved. The following statements are equivalent for a filter \(\mathcal F\) on \( \mathbb{N}\): \(1^{\circ}\) There exists an infinite-dimensional Banach space \(X\) such that the (stationary) uniform \(\mathcal F\)-boundedness principle holds for \(X\); \(2^{\circ}\) The (stationary) uniform \(\mathcal F\)-boundedness principle holds for every Fréchet space \(X\); \(3^{\circ}\) \(\mathcal F\) is both a rapid\({}^+\) and (weak) \(P^+\)-filter.
