An example of a non-paracompact tvs (over the reals, say)

What is an example of a non-paracompact topological vector space? I'm aware of this question, but I don't care if my tvs is locally convex. In fact the wilder the better. The only criterion is that ...

Examples of TVS with no non-trivial open convex subsets

I give here the classical example of the space $E = L^p([0,1])$ which has no open convex subsets apart from $\emptyset$ and $E$. Consequently, there is no non-trivial continuous linear form on $E$. ...

Are there "pathological convex sets" over ultravalued fields of char 2?

In their book Topological Vector Spaces (2nd ed.) Lawrence Narici and Edward Beckenstein generalise convex sets for TVS over ultravalued field $K$ as $K$-convex sets. The definition goes as following:...
