Abstract Let K be a non-archimedean valued field whose residue class field is formally real, let l be the space of all bounded sequences of elements of K and let c 0 be the linear subspace of l of all null-convergence sequences. Under this condition, the supremun norm of c 0 is coming from an inner product and its dual is l. In this paper the authors define a locally convex topology on c 0 such that the dual of this locally convex space is just itself. Many properties of such topology are study.

2 José Aguayo, et al. 1. Introduction and Notations Throughout this paper K is a non-archimedean valued field, complete with respect to the ultrametric induced by the nontrivial valuation. Recall that the residue class field of K is the field k = B (0, 1 /B (0, 1, where B(0, 1 = {λ K : λ 1} and B (0, 1 = {λ K : λ < 1}. Let E be a vector space over K. By a non-archimedean inner product we mean a map, : E E K which satisfies for all a,b K and x,y,z E I.1 x = 0 x,x = 0; I.2 ax + by, z = a x,z + b y,z ; I.3 x,y 2 x,x y,y (Cauchy-Schwarz type inequality A vector space E with, is called a non-archimedean inner product space. If x,y = y,x for all x,y E, then, is called a symmetric inner product. In what follows we omit non-archimedean in non-archimedean inner product in order to simplify the reading of this article. We already know that each infinite-dimensional Banach space is linearly homeomorphic to c 0 (see [10], Th. 3.16, pp.70. Therefore, to study these kind of spaces is equivalent to study c 0, the space of all sequences in K which are convergent to 0.c 0 is a Banach space with the supremum norm. In c 0 there is a natural symmetric bilinear form, : c 0 c 0 K, defined by x,y = n N x n y n. (1.1 It is easy to see that x,y x y. But, it may happen that x,x < x 2 for some x c 0. In order to avoid the last strict inequality, we need an extra algebraic condition on K. Definition 1.1. A field F is formally real if for any finite subset {a 1,...,a n } of F that n satisfies ai 2 = 0 implies each a i = 0. i=1 According to this definition, R is formally real and C is not. Examples of nonarchimedean fields which are not formally real are Q p and C p ; however, the Levi-Civita field given in [8] is formally real. If we take R instead of F in [10] Th.1.3, page 9, then we can have many examples of non-archimedean field whose respective residual class fields are formally real. Now, in the non-archimedean context, we have the following alternative condition for a formally real field:

A locally convex topology and an inner product 3 Proposition 1.2. Let K be a non-archimedean valued field. Then, k is formally real if, and only if, for each finite subset {λ 1,λ 2,...,λ n } of K, λ 2 1 + λ2 2 + +λ2 n = max { λ 2 1, λ 2 2,..., λ 2 } n. Proof. ( Suppose that k is formally real. Then, by [6], Corollary 6.3, for x,y c 0. In particular, if x,x + y,y = max { x,x, y,y }, x = (λ 1, 0,..., y = (λ 2, 0,... c 0, then λ 2 1 + λ2 2 = max { λ 1 2, λ 2 2} The rest of the proof follows by induction ( Let us suppose now that k is not formally real, that means, there exists a finite subset {λ 1,λ 2,...,λ n } K so that and λ 2 1 + λ2 2 + +λ2 n = 0 Now, λ 2 1 + λ2 2 + +λ2 n = 0 implies λ 2 1 + λ 2 2 + +λ2 n < 1 λ i = 0. (1.2 and since λ 2 1 + λ 2 2 + +λ2 n = max { λ1 2, λ 2 2,..., λ n 2} we have λ i < 1 for each i {1, 2,...,n}, which is equivalent to λ i = 0 This is a contradiction to (2. The following theorem was one of the main results proved in [6], (Th.6.1, p. 194: Theorem 1.3. The symmetric bilinear form given in (1.1 is an inner product on c 0 which induces the original norm if and only if the residue class field k of K is formally real. We already know that the dual of (c 0, is just l. The main goal of this paper is to define a locally convex topology ν 0 on c 0 such that (c 0,ν 0 = c 0 and each closed

4 José Aguayo, et al. subspace has a normal complemented, that is, if M is a v 0 -closed subspace, then there exists a v 0 closed subspace N such that c 0 = M N and m, n = 0 for every m M and n N. In other words, (c 0,v 0 is orthomodular with respect to this inner product. Another concept that we will need to know is the following: Definition 1.4. Let ( x n be a sequence of nonzero elements of c 0. Then, we will say that ( x n has the Riemann-Lebesgue Property (RLP in short if for any y c 0 we have that x n,y 0. Of course, every base of c 0 have the RLP. It is well-known that if X is a zero dimensional Hausdorff topological space, then there are some special locally convex topologies, so-called strict topologies, defined in C b (X, K, the space of all continuous and bounded functions from X into K. One of them, which will be the topology that will be used in this paper, is constructed as follows (see [2] and [4]: A function v : X K is said to be vanish at infinity if it is bounded and for each ɛ>0 there exists a compact K of X such that v X\K <ɛ.let us call B (X, K the collection of all functions on X which are vanish at infinity. Given v B (X, K, we define the semi-norm p v (f = sup f (x v (x ; for f C b (X, K. x X The family {p v } ν B(X,K generates a locally convex topology which is denotes by β 0. This topology has many properties that was proved in [4] and we will only mention those that will be useful in this paper. Let us denote by τ u the uniform topology on C b (X, K, that is, the topology generated by the supremum norm on C b (X, K, and by τ c the compact-open topology on C b (X, K. 1. β 0 coincides with τ c on each τ u bounded set. 2. τ c β 0 τ u 3. β 0 and τ u have the same bounded sets. 4. A sequence (f n in C b (X, K is β 0 convergent to f iffitisτ u bounded and f n f in τ c. 5. If C 0 (X, K denotes the space of those function v B (X, K which are continuous and X is locally compact, then C 0 (X, K is β 0 dense in C b (X, K. Now, in order to describe the dual of (C b (X, K, β 0, we need to introduce a space of measures. Let us denote by S (X the ring of clopen subsets of X; we will understand by a measures on X to any finitely-additive set-function m : S (X K such that it is

A locally convex topology and an inner product 5 m (S (X is bounded in K. The space of all these functions will be denoted by M (X and it is normed by m = m (X, where m (A = sup { m (B : B A; B S (X} for any A S (X.M t (X will denote the subspace of all measures m M (X such that for any positive real number ɛ, there exists a compact subset K of X such that m (X K <ɛ.it is well-known that (C b (X, K, β 0 = M t (X and for any m M t (X, each f BC (X is m-integrable. These two facts will be also used in this work. 2. Definition of a locally convex topology on c 0 We already know that the dual of (c 0, is l, the space of all bounded sequences in K. In this dual we can distinguish two kind of linear functionals: linear functional of the type,y : c 0 K, defined by x x,y, for any y c 0, and linear functional of the type f : c 0 K, defined by x f (x = n N x n a n, where (a n l \ c 0. The first ones are call Riesz functional and this collection forms a normed space that we will denote by R = { f c 0 : f =,y for some y c 0}. Clearly, R is algebraically isomorphic to c 0. The next lemma will give us conditions for a continuous linear functional can be a Riesz functional. Here, e n will denote the n th canonical elements of c 0. Lemma 2.1. A continuous linear functional f is a Riesz functional if and only if lim f (e n = 0. In other words, e n 0 in the weak topology with respect to the n duality c 0, R. Proof. ( Let f be an element of R. Then, there exists y c 0 such that f =,y. Now, by the fact that {e n : n N} has the RLP, we have lim f (e n = lim e n,y = 0. n n ( On the other hand, if lim n f (e n = 0, then y = (f (e n c 0. We claim that f =,y, in fact, x c 0 x = x n e n ( f (x = f x n e n = x n f (e n = x,y.

6 José Aguayo, et al. Definition 2.2. A locally convex topology ν on c 0 is said to be admissible if (c 0,ν = R. The locally convex topology generated by the family of semi-norms {q y ( =,y : y c 0 } is admissible. It is clear that this topology is the weak topology σ R respect to the duality c 0, R. By the fact that this topology is Hausdorff, every admissible topology is also Hausdorff. Theorem 2.3. Let ν be an admissible topology. Then, 1. if K is spherically complete, then e n ν 0. 2. if ν is of countable type, then e n ν 0. Proof. Both results follow from the fact that each weakly convergent sequence is convergent, since ν is strongly polar (see [9] Th.4.4 and Prop. 4.11 pages 197 and 200. For each y c 0, we define p y (x = max { x n y n : n N}. It is clear that p y is a semi-norm. Let us denote by ν 0 the locally convex topology generated by this family of semi-norms. Lemma 2.4. For y c 0, lim p y (e n = 0. n Proof. This is immediately consequence of Lemma 2.5. ν 0 is of countable type. p y (e n = y n. Proof. We need to prove that ( c 0,p y is of countable type, for each y c0. We claim that c 0 = [{e 1,e 2,...}] py. ( n In fact, let x c 0 and consider the following sequence x i e i. Since p y (x i=1 n x i e i = p y (0, 0,...,0,x n+1,x n+2,... i=1 = max { x k y k : k n + 1} y max { x k : k n + 1} n 0

A locally convex topology and an inner product 7 ( n we conclude that x i e i is p y -convergent to x, which is enough to prove the lemma. i=1 Proposition 2.6. ν 0 is admissible. Proof. Let us take f (c 0,ν 0. Then, there exists a positive constant C and a finite collection y 1,y 2,...,y k c 0 such that By Lemma 2.4, which implies that f (x C max { p y l (x : l = 1,...,k }. p y l (e n 0, f (e n 0. Thus, f R. Let us take now f R and prove that f is ν 0 continuous. Since f R, there exists y c 0 such that f =,y. Consider the semi-norm We claim that In fact, p y (x = max { x n y n : n N}. f (x p y (x. f (x = x,y = x n y n max { x n y n : n N} = p y (x. Thus, f is ν 0 -continuous. Therefore, R = (c 0,ν 0. Theorem 2.7. ν 0 is the finest locally convex topology of countable type which is admissible. Proof. Let ν be an admissible locally convex topology of countable type and let p be a ν v-continuous semi-norm. By Th.2.3, e n 0, and then p (e n 0. Choose y = (y n c 0 such that y n p (e n

8 José Aguayo, et al. and consider the semi-norm p y (x = max { x n y n : n N}. Note that convergent, since p (x n e n 0. Then, ( p (x = p x n e n max { x n y n : n N} = p y (x. It is enough to show that ν ν 0. x n e n is p- 3. ν 0 as a strict topology Assuming that N has the discrete topology (which is a zero-dimensional topological space, we will have that l = {x = (x n : x < } is precisely C b (N, K. According to the first section, a function whose vanishes at infinity is a function η : N K which satisfies that for a given ɛ>0, there exists a compact K in N such that η (x N\K <ɛ, Now, compact sets in N are just the finite subsets, therefore the above condition is equivalent to say that lim η (n = 0, n that is, η c 0. Thus, we have proved that B (K (X, K = {η : N K : η vanish at infinity} = c 0 The first section tell us that the strict topology β 0 defined on C b (N, K = l is the topology generated by the family of semi-norms { p η }η c 0. In this case, each p η has the following form: p η ((a i = sup a i η i i N Also, the spaces ( l (, and l,β 0 have the same bounded sets. Note that C 0 (N, K is just c 0 and hence c 0 is β 0 -dense in l. At the same time, the topology ν 0 defined in the second section is just the induced topology by β 0 ; hence we have the following corollary: Corollary 3.1. The spaces (c 0,ν 0 and (c 0, have the same bounded sets. Proof. Let B be a ν 0 -bounded set, hence y c 0 = B (K (X : max x B p y (x <.

A locally convex topology and an inner product 9 Therefore, η B (K (X = c 0 : max x B p η (x <, that is, B is β 0 -bounded and then B is -bounded. Remark 3.2. The Ascoli theorem type proved in [5] tells us that the compactoid sets of (c 0,ν 0 are precisely the bounded sets. In other words, (c 0,ν 0 is a semi-montel space. Proposition 3.3. Let (x n be a bounded sequence in c 0. Then, (x n is ν 0 -convergent to 0 if and only if (x n has the Riemann-Lebesgue Property. Proof. Since the condition for a sequence must have the Riemann Lebesgue Property is equivalent that this sequence convergent to 0 in the weak topology respect to the duality c 0, R and by the fact that bounded sets are compactoid, the proposition follows applying Th. 4.4 and Prop. 4.11 in [9]. Remark 3.4. Let us mention some properties of the spaces ( l,β 0 and (c0,ν 0. Since N is a small set, is not a compact space, is a k-space, is a locally compact space and is an infinity set, we have 1. ( l,β 0 is not a barrelled space, Th. 7.2.14 in [9] 2. ( l,β 0 is not a reflexive space, Th. 7.5.10 in [9]. 3. ( l,β 0 is a complete space, Th. 9 in [5]. 4. c 0 is β 0 dense in ( l,β 0 and then (c0,ν 0 is not a complete space. 4. Duality Now, by the fact that c 0 is β 0 -dense in ( l,β 0, we have that R = (c 0,v 0 = ( l,β 0 = Mt (N, K. Let us describe the elements of the space M t (N. Here, the ring of subsets of N is S (N = P (N and if m M t (N, then m for a given ɛ>0, there exists a compact set K of N such that m (N \ K <ɛ.since compact sets in N are finite, we have that K = {n 1,n 2,...,n k } N such that which this means that m (N \ {n 1,n 2,...,n k } <ɛ, m (N \ {n 1,n 2,...,n k } = max { m (B : B {n 1,n 2,...,n k } = } <ɛ

10 José Aguayo, et al. On the other hand, m M t (N is equivalent to say that for each sequence {G n } of subsets of N such that G n G k = for n = k, m ( G n = m (G n which implies that (m (G n c 0. Now, since each function f l is m-integrable, we have fdm K But, by properties of the integral, we have N fdm= {n} fdm= N {n} fdm= and then we can define a linear homomorphism : M t (N R x n m ({n} = f, (m ({n}, f (m =, (m ({n} We claim that is an isomorphism, even more, it is a linear isometry. In fact, let,y be an element of R, for some y = (y n c 0. We define m : P (N K by m (A = i A y i. Clearly, m is well-defined and is finite additive set-function. Moreover, since m (A = y i max { y i : i A} y i A we conclude that m M (N. Now, for a given ɛ>0, there exists N N such that y n <ɛ,for any n N. Let us take K = {1, 2,...,N 1} which is compact in N; hence m (N \ K = max { m (B : B N \ K} <ɛ, that is, m M t (N. Now, take m M t (N ; then (m =, (m ({n} = (m ({n} = sup { m ({n} : n N} sup { m (B : B P (N} = m (N = m On the other hand, since m (B y, for all B P (N, we conclude that (m = m. 5. ν 0 -Closed subspaces In this section we will study the ν 0 closed subspaces of c 0. Let us start with a Kernel of a ν 0 linear functional f. By sections 3, there exists y c 0 such that f =,y and then its Kernel N (f has the Riemann-Lebesgue Property. Conversely, if f is a continuous

A locally convex topology and an inner product 11 linear functional and its Kernel has the Riemann-Lebesgue Property, then there exists y c 0 such that f =,y (see [6]. From this facts, we have the following proposition. Proposition 5.1. Let M be an one-codimensional and -closed subspaces of c 0. Then, M is ν 0 -closed if and only if M has the Riemann Lebesgue Property. Proof. Let us denote by N its complemented of M, that is, c 0 = M N and N = [{y}], for some y c 0. Thus, there exists a unique pair {u, v} in c 0 such that x = u + v, with u M and v N. We define f : c 0 K by f (x = α, where v = αy. Clearly, f is a linear functional whose N (f = M. Now, if M is ν 0 closed, then f is ν 0 -continuous which implies that f =,z for some z c 0. Now, invoking Th.5 in [1], we conclude that N (f = M has the Riemann Lebesgue Property. Conversely, since M is -closed, we have that the above f is -continuous and its kernel N (f has the Riemann-Lebesgue Property; then by Cor. 9.2 in [6], we have that there exists y c 0 such that f =,y and conclude that M = N (f is ν 0 -closed, since f =,y R. Corollary 5.2. Let M be a finite-codimensional and -closed subspaces of c 0. Then, M is ν 0 -closed if and only if M has the Riemann Lebesgue Property. Proposition 5.3. Let M be a -closed subspace of c 0. Then, if M has the Riemann Lebesgue Property, then M is ν 0 -closed. Proof. Since M has the Riemann-Lebesgue Property, there exists a normal complement N in c 0, that is, c 0 = M N and x,y = 0 for any x M and y N (see Cor. 3 in [1]. Under this condition we can sure the existence of a normal projection P such that N (P = N and R (P = M. Now, by Th. 5 in [3], there exists an orthonormal basis {y 1,y 2,...} in N with the Riemann Lebesgue Property such that P =,y n y n,y n y n. Now, each f n =,y n y n,y n is a Riesz functional and then is ν 0-continuous which implies that N (f n is ν 0 -closed. By the fact that M = N (f n we conclude that M is ν 0 -closed. Remark 5.4. If we M = {M : M c 0,Mis closed and M has RLP} and N = {M : M c 0 and is ν 0 closed}, then Prop. 5 tells us that M N. On the other hand, Prop. 4 and Cor. 2 show that there exist ν 0 closed subspaces which have the RLP. The open question here is: M = N?
