Abstract

All our formal Theorems, Propositions, Corollaries, Examples are correct. One of our main results is Theorem 2 Let I be an index set and Ei an lcs for each i ∈ I . If at least c of the Ei are not in D(ℝ), or equivalently do not have the weak topology, then the product Πi∈I Ei has a nonseparable closed vector subspace. However, some statements in the Abstract and elsewhere claim too much. Thanks to e-mail from Stephen A. Saxon, we realized that the product Ec may have a nonseparable closed vector subspace even when lcs E has the weak topology. Take E to be the lcs of our Example 1; then this E has the weak topology, is separable and contains a nonseparable closed vector subspace. Our erroneous claim appears after Problem 2, after Theorem 2, and in the Abstract. In particular, we have not given a complete answer to Problem 2. Also, in the last sentence of the fifth paragraph of the Introduction, “a compact X” should be replaced by “a separable compact X”.
