Separation axioms for topological vector spaces
[6/0%]Prove that a linear topological space satisfies the third separation axiom .
Prove that a linear topological space is separated (i.e., satisfies the first separation axiom ) if and only if the intersection of all neighborhoods of zero consists only of zero. In particular, every locally bounded linear topological space is separated.
Prove that a polynormed space is Hausdorff with respect to the topology generated by the system of its seminorms if and only if for every vector , there exists a seminorm , such that .
Prove that the spaces and are Hausdorff.
Suppose that is a TVS but do not assume that is Hausdorff.
Show that is Hausdorff if and only if the singleton set is closed.
If is Hausdorff, show that is a regular topological space.
Let be a neighborhood of 0 in a topological vector space . Prove that there is a real continuous function on such that and outside . (Thus is a completely regular topological space). Suggestion: Let be balanced neighborhoods of 0 such that and . Construct as in the proof of Theorem 1.24. Show that is continuous at 0 and that
