前言
A good introductory text on this subject should include a presentation of its axiomatics (i.e., of the general theory of topological vector spaces), it should treat at least a few topics in some depth, and it should contain some interesting applications to other branches of mathematics. I hope that the present book meets these criteria.
The subject is huge and is growing rapidly. (The bibliography in volume I of [4] contains 96 pages and goes only to 1957.) In order to write a book of moderate size, it was therefore necessary to select certain areas and to ignore others. I fully realize that almost any expert who looks at the table of contents will find that some of his or her (and my) favorite topics
are missing, but this seems unavoidable. It was not my intention to write an encyclopedic treatise. I wanted to write a book that would open the way to further exploration.
This is the reason for omitting many of the more esoteric topics that might have been included in the presentation of the general theory of topological vector spaces. For instance, there is no discussion of uniform spaces,of Moore-Smith convergence, of nets, or of filters. The notion of completeness occurs only in the context of metric spaces. Bornological spaces are
not mentioned, nor are barreled ones. Duality is of course presented, but not in its utmost generality. Integration of vector-valued functions is treated strictly as a tool; attention is confined to continuous integrands, with values in a Frechet space.
Nevertheless, the material of Part I is fully adequate for almost all applications to concrete problems. And this is what ought to be stressed in such a course: The close interplay between the abstract and the concrete is not only the most useful aspect of the whole subject but also the most fascinating one.
Here are some further features of the selected material. A fairly large part of the general theory is presented without the assumption of local convexity. The basic properties of compact operators are derived from the duality theory in Banach spaces. The Krein-Milman theorem on the exis tence of extreme points is used in several ways in Chapter 5. The theory of
distributions and Fourier transforms is worked out in fair detail and is applied (in two very brief chapters) to two problems in partial differential equations, as well as to Wiener's tauberian theorem and two of its applications. The spectral theorem is derived from the theory of Banach algebras (specifically, from the Gelfand-Naimark characterization of commutative
B*-algebras); this is perhaps not the shortest way, but it is an easy one. The symbolic calculus in Banach algebras is discussed in considerable detail; so are involutions and positive functionals.
I assume familiarity with the theory of measure and Lebesgue integration (including such facts as the completeness of the LP-spaces), with some basic properties of holomorphic functions (such as the general form of Cauchy's theorem, and Runge's theorem), and with the elementary topological background that goes with these two analytic topics. Some other topological facts are briefly presented in Appendix A. Almost no algebraic background is needed, beyond the knowledge of what a homomorphism is.
Historical references are gathered in Appendix B. Some of these refer to the original sources, and some to more recent books, papers, or exposi tory articles in which further references can be found. There are, of course,many items that are not documented at all. In no case does the absence of a specific reference imply any claim to originality on my part.
Most of the applications are in Chapters 5, 8, and 9. Some are in Chapter 11 and in the more than 250 exercises; many of these are supplied with hints. The interdependence of the chapters is indicated in the diagram on the following page.
Most of the applications contained in Chapter 5 can be taken up well before the first four chapters are completed. It has therefore been suggested that it might be good pedagogy to insert them into the text earlier, as soon as the required theoretical background is established. However, in order not to interrupt the presentation of the theory in this way, I have instead
started Chapter 5 with a short indication of the background that is needed for each item. This should make it easy to study the applications as early as possible, if so desired.
In the first edition, a fairly large part of Chapter 10 dealt with differentiation in Banach algebras. Twenty years ago this (then recent) material looked interesting and promising, but it does not seem to have led any where, and I have deleted it. On the other hand, I have added a few items which were easy to fit into the existing text: the mean ergodic theorem of
von Neumann, the Hille-Yosida theorem on semigroups of operators, a couple of fixed point theorems, Bonsall's surprising application of the closed range theorem, and Lomonosov's spectacular invariant subspace theorem. I have also rewritten a few sections in order to clarify certain details, and I have shortened and simplified some proofs.
Most of these changes have been made in response to muchappreciated suggestions by numerous friends and colleagues. I especially want to mention Justin Peters and Ralph Raimi, who wrote detailed critiques of the first edition, and the Russian translator of the first edition
who added quite a few relevant footnotes to the text. My thanks to all of them !
