The theory of topological vector spaces (TVS), being a foundation of modern functional analysis, is now considered as a completely mature, or, to be more specific, dead mathematical discipline. This pessimistic view is based on a picture, where, on the one hand, a well-known system of facts is stated, facts that have been considered classical since the times of Mackey and Grothendieck, and, on the other hand, an opinion exists explicitly or implicitly, that any deviation from this system… Expand

Pontryagin duality and topological algebras
As is known, the Pontryagin duality is a traditional object of investigations in Group Theory. Another application of this idea was found quite recently in the theory of topological algebras and isExpand

Stereotype approximation property for the group algebra ${\mathcal C}^\star(G)$ of measures
In [1, 3] the author described the stereotype approximation property, an analog of the classical approximation property transferred into the category Ste of stereotype spaces. It was noticed in [3]Expand
Duality for SIN-groups
We suggest a generalization of Pontryagin duality from the category of Abelian locally compact groups to a category which includes all SIN-groups, i.e. groups with a base of invariant neighborhoodsExpand
Holomorphic duality for countable discrete groups
In 2008, the author proposed a version of duality theory for (not necessarily, Abelian) complex Lie groups, based on the idea of using the Arens-Michael envelope of topological algebra and having anExpand
Structure of modules over the stereotype algebra ℒ(X) of operators
AbstractIt is well known that every module M over the algebra ℒ(X) of operators on a finite-dimensional space X can be represented as the tensor product of X by some vector space E, M ≅ = E ⊗ X. WeExpand
Stereotype approximation property for the algebras $C(M)$ of continuous functions on metric spaces
In his previous works the author introduced the notion of the stereotype approximation property as an analog of the classical approximation property transferred to the category ${\tt Ste}$ ofExpand
Kernel and cokernel in the category of augmented involutive stereotype algebras
We prove several properties of kernels and cokernels in the category of augmented involutive stereotype algebras: 1) the morphisms of the augmented involutive stereotype algebras have kernels andExpand
