About this book

"Descriptive Topology in Selected Topics of Functional Analysis" is a collection of recent developments in the field of descriptive topology, specifically focused on the classes of infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces that appear in functional analysis. Such spaces include Fréchet spaces, (LF)-spaces and their duals, and the space of continuous real-valued functions C(X) on a completely regular Hausdorff space X, to name a few. These vector spaces appear in functional analysis in distribution theory, differential equations, complex analysis, and various other analytical settings. This monograph provides new insights into the connections between the topological properties of linear function spaces and their applications in functional analysis.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The book summarizes many results which describe various aspects of the structure of topological vector spaces … . Most of the chosen material is relatively recent and appears in book form for the first time. … Together with a rich list of references the book can help in finding and understanding many finer questions concerning various aspects of the structure of subclasses of the class of topological vector spaces.” (Petr Holický, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1231, 2012)

“The authors collect a large amount of material displaying connections between general topology and functional analysis with regard to properties of infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces. … It is a fine piece of scholarship with well-organized, readable proofs. … It is an encyclopedia of a subject meant for researchers and advanced graduate students likely interested in research for an advanced degree, and/or adding more knowledge to a course in which they are enrolled.” (E. Beckenstein, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2013)
