Smith space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, Smith space is a complete compactly generated locally convex space having a compact set which absorbs every other compact set (i.e. for some ).
Smith spaces are named after Marianne Ruth Freundlich Smith, who introduced them[1] as duals to Banach spaces in some versions of duality theory for topological vector spaces. All Smith spaces are stereotype and are in the stereotype duality relations with Banach spaces:[2][3]
- for any Banach space its stereotype dual space[4] is a Smith space,
- and vice versa, for any Smith space its stereotype dual space is a Banach space.
