Representation of Topological Algebras by
Projective Limit of Fréchet Algebras
Mati Abel
⋆
Abstract. It is shown that every topological Hausdorff algebra (in particular,
locally pseudoconvex Hausdorff algebra) A with jointly continuous multiplication
is topologically isomorphic to a dense subalgebra of the projective limit of Fréchet
(respectively, locally pseudoconvex Fréchet) algebras. In case, when A is complete,
A and this projective limit of Fréchet (respectively, locally pseudoconvex Fréchet)
algebras are topologically isomorphic. A partly new proof for these results from
[11] are given.
1. Introduction
It is well-known (published in 1952 in [10, p. 17], and in [5]) that every
complete locally m-convex Hausdorff algebra is topologically isomorphic to the
projective limit of Banach algebras. This result has been generalized to the case
of complete locally m-(k-convex) Hausdorff algebras in [2, Theorem 5]; to the
case of complete locally A-convex Hausdorff algebras in [4, Theorem 2.2], and to
the case of complete locally m-pseudoconvex Hausdorff algebras in [6, pp. 202–
204]. Similar representations of topological algebras (not necessarily with jointly
continuous multiplication) by projective limits of topological algebras with more
simple structure are considered in [3]. It is known (see [11, Theorem 1]) that every
complete topological Hausdorff algebra with jointly continuous multiplication is
topologically isomorphic to the projective limit of Fréchet algebras and every
complete locally convex Hausdorff algebra with jointly continuous multiplication is
topologically isomorphic to the projective limit of locally convex Fréchet algebras.
These results in [11] are correct, but the proofs of these are not, because in
the proofs there is applied a Lemma which, first of all, is not formulated suitably
