Abstract: We study the topological duals of the Colombeau algebras Gc(Om), G(Om) and GS(Rn), discussing some continuous embeddings and the properties of generalized delta functionals.


This paper is the second part of an investigation into the topological aspects of Colombeau algebras and duality theory started in [Acta Appl. Math. 88, No.~1, 81--123 (2005; Zbl 1110.46031)]. The obtained results establish a framework where it is possible to develop the regularity theory for pseudodifferential operators with generalized symbols. Section 1 discusses some examples of elements in the topological duals of the Colombeau algebras \({\mathcal G}_c(\Omega)\), \({\mathcal G}(\Omega)\), \({\mathcal G}_{{\mathcal S}}({\mathbb R}^n)\), with emphasis in the study of the generalized delta functional \(\delta_{\tilde{x}}.\) Some differences between the distributional framework and the Colombeau framework appear when computing the support of the functional \(\delta_{\tilde{x}}\) and after showing the existence of continuous and \(\tilde{{\mathbb C}}\)-linear functionals on \({\mathcal G}(\Omega)\) which are not \(\tilde{{\mathbb C}}\)-linear combinations of \(\delta_0\) and its derivatives. The main result in section 2 is concerned with the representation of \(\delta_{\tilde{x}}\), in the case that \(\tilde{x}\) is a generalized point with compact support, as an integral operator when acting on regular generalized functions. As a consequence, a local integral representation for regular Colombeau generalized functions is also obtained, as well as some global representations involving suitable subalgebras of regular and tempered generalized functions. Section 3 is devoted to obtain continuous embeddings of Colombeau algebras into their topological duals.
