Fundamental bounded resolutions and quasi-$(DF)$-spaces

We introduce a new class of locally convex spaces $E$, under the name quasi-$(DF)$-spaces, containing strictly the class of $(DF)$-spaces. A locally convex space $E$ is called a quasi-$(DF)$-space if (i) $E$ admits a fundamental bounded resolution, i.e. an $\mathbb{N}^{\mathbb{N}}$-increasing family of bounded sets in $E$ which swallows all bounded set in $E$, and (ii) $E$ belongs to the class $\mathfrak{G}$ (in sense of Cascales--Orihuela). The class of quasi-$(DF)$-spaces is closed under taking subspaces, countable direct sums and countable products. Every regular $(LM)$-space (particularly, every metrizable locally convex space) and its strong dual are quasi-$(DF)$-spaces. We prove that $C_{p}(X)$ has a fundamental bounded resolution iff $C_{p}(X)$ is a quasi-$(DF)$-space iff the strong dual of $C_{p}(X)$ is a quasi-$(DF)$-space iff $X$ is countable. If $X$ is a metrizable space, then $C_k(X)$ is a quasi-$(DF)$-space iff $X$ is a Polish $σ$-compact space. We provide numerous concrete examples which in particular clarify differences between $(DF)$-spaces and quasi-$(DF)$-spaces.

Networks for the weak topology of Banach and Fréchet spaces

We start the systematic study of Fréchet spaces which are $\aleph$-spaces in the weak topology. A topological space $X$ is an $\aleph_0$-space or an $\aleph$-space if $X$ has a countable $k$-network or a $σ$-locally finite $k$-network, respectively. We are motivated by the following result of Corson (1966): If the space $C_{c}(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ endowed with the compact-open topology is a Banach space, then $C_{c}(X)$ endowed with the weak topology is an $\aleph_0$-space if and only if $X$ is countable. We extend Corson's result as follows: If the space $E:=C_{c}(X)$ is a Fréchet lcs, then $E$ endowed with its weak topology $σ(E,E')$ is an $\aleph$-space if and only if $(E,σ(E,E'))$ is an $\aleph_0$-space if and only if $X$ is countable. We obtain a necessary and some sufficient conditions on a Fréchet lcs to be an $\aleph$-space in the weak topology. We prove that a reflexive Fréchet lcs $E$ in the weak topology $σ(E,E')$ is an $\aleph$-space if and only if $(E,σ(E,E'))$ is an $\aleph_0$-space if and only if $E$ is separable. We show however that the nonseparable Banach space $\ell_{1}(\mathbb{R})$ with the weak topology is an $\aleph$-space.
