Is Hausdorffness a categorical property in the category of locally convex spaces?
I want to characterize Hausdorffness of a locally convex space only using categorical terms of the additive category LCS of locally convex spaces and continuous linear maps, i.e., terms like mono- or ...

Is the filtered colimit topology on the space of signed Radon measures linear and locally convex?
Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space. In chapter 3 of Peter Scholze's Lectures on Analytic Geometry he considers the space of signed Radon measures on $X$ equipped with the filtered colimit (aka ...

Can $L^1_{loc}$ be represented as colimit?
Let $L^1_{loc}$ denote the set of all functions from $\mathbb{R}$ to itself which are locally integrable. For every infinite compact subset $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, let $L^1_{m_K}$ denote the space ...

The Gelfand duality for pro-$C^*$-algebras
The Gelfand duality says that
$$X\to C(X)$$
is a contravariant equivalence between the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps and the category of commutative unital $C^*$-algebras ...

The category of discontinuous Banach spaces
A banach space is discontinuous if it is isometric to $DC(X)$ for some Hausdorff topological space $X$. ($DC(X)$ is defined here. We denote by $DBan$, the category of all discontinuous ...

Topological characterization of injective metric spaces
Let $\ (X\ d)\ \,(Y\ \delta)\ $ be arbitrary metric spaces. A function $\ f:X\rightarrow Y\ $ is called a metric map (with respect to the given metrics $\ d\ \delta$) $\ \Leftarrow:\Rightarrow\ \...

Terminology for notion dual to "support"
If $X$ is a set (feel free to think of it as finite, but it doesn't have to be) and $f$ a real function on $X$, call the support $\operatorname{supp} f$ the subset of $X$ consisting of all elements $i\...
