Weak vector space topologies<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>.<br />

In order to conclude that τ ′ makes X into a topological vector<br />

space it remains now only to show that every one-point set {x} in<br />

X is closed. This goes as follows:<br />

For each y = x <strong>the</strong>re is an element ly ∈ X ′ such that ly(x) = ly(y).<br />

This is because X ′ separates points by assumption. It follows that<br />

{x} c = <br />

{z ∈ X : ly(z) = ly(x)} .<br />

y∈{x} c<br />
