Valdivia's lifting theorem for non-metrizable spaces. Preprint

The lifting theorem of Valdivia concerning (pre) compact sets and convergent (respectively, Cauchy) sequences from a quasi-(LB) space to a metrizable, strictly barrelled space is extended to a strictly larger collection of range spaces. Specifically, we assume that the range space has a sequential web structure and do not require that it be metrizable, nor strictly barrelled, and the range space need not even be barrelled. Distinguishing examples are provided that include natural constructions of range spaces connected with applications, such as the space of distributions having their wavefront sets in a specified closed cone. The same and other examples could also serve as domain spaces for the closed graph theorem of Valdivia, revealing a much wider collection of domain spaces that can be used in that result.

Inductive limits of quasi locally Baire spaces

We study quasi-locally complete locally convex spaces and generalize this concept to quasi-locally Baire locally convex spaces. It is shown that an inductive limit of strictly webbed spaces is regular if it is quasi-locally Baire. This extends Qiu's theorem on regularity. Additionally, if each step is strictly webbed and quasi-locally Baire, then the inductive limit is quasi-locally Baire if it is regular. Relevant examples are provided.

Eventually constant intertwining linear maps between complete locally convex spaces

Starting from Sinclair's 1976 work {\it Automatic Continuity of Linear Operators}, Cambridge University Press, (1976), on automatic continuity of linear operators on Banach spaces, we prove that sequences of intertwining continuous linear maps are eventually constant with respect to the separating space of a fixed linear map. Our proof uses a gliding hump argument. We also consider aspects of continuity of linear functions between locally convex spaces and prove that such that a linear function $T$ from the locally convex space $X$ to the locally convex space $Y$ is continuous whenever the separating space $G(T)$ is the zero vector in $Y$ and for which $X$ and $Y$ satisfy conditions for a closed graph theorem.

On Docile Spaces, Mackey First Countable Spaces, and Sequentially Mackey First Countable Spaces

In this article we discuss the relationship between three types of locally convex spaces: docile spaces, Mackey first countable spaces, and sequentially Mackey first countable spaces. More precisely, we show that docile spaces are sequentially Mackey first countable. We also show the existence of sequentially Mackey first countable spaces that are not Mackey first countable, and we characterize Mackey first countable spaces in terms of normability of certain inductive limits.
