Abstract

For any pair E,F of pseudotopological vector spaces, we endow the space L(E,F) of all continuous linear operators from E into F with a pseudotopology such that, if G is a pseudotopological space, then the mapping L(E,F) × L(F,G) ∋ (f,g) → gf ∈ L(E,G) is continuous. We use this pseudotopology to establish a result about differentiability of certain operator-valued functions related with strongly continuous one-parameter semigroups in Banach spaces, to characterize von Neumann algebras, and to establish a result about integration of Lie algebra representations.

Keywords

pseudotopology, continuity, composition of operators, differentiability, one-parameter semigroup, von Neumann algebra, integration, Lie algebra representation
