Abstract

"Elementary length topologies defined on normed and pseudo-normed linear spaces are studied. It is shown that elementary length topologies constructed with different pseudo-norms are never equivalent. Elementary length topologies are constructed on certain topological spaces and some of their properties are investigated. It is shown that certain "measuring devices" (i.e., norms, pseudo-norms, semi-norms, and pseudo-metrics) which take their values in Tikhonov semifields may be used to construct elementary length topologies on any topological linear space. Relationships between two elementary length topologies generated with different measuring devices are considered.

Let (X,t) be a topological linear space such that t is determined from a convex functional, p-norm or quasi-norm. The function q may be used to construct an elementary length topology on X. Let Xr denote X with this elementary length topology and let C(Xr,k) be the set of all bounded, continuous, complex valued functions defined on Xr. Some of the properties of C(Xr,k) which may be used in a quantum mechanical scattering analysis involving elementary length are considered"--Abstract, page ii.
