Topologies of pairs and closed bounded convex sets

74 Views Asked by At

It is known, that if two locally convex topologies on a vector space determine the same collection of continuous linear functionals, then the classes of closed convex sets are the same, as well as the classes of bounded sets. Consequently, the classes of closed bounded convex sets also have to coincide.

I am wondering about the converse of this statement.

In particular I am interested if the following holds. Let $E$ and $F$ be vector spaces in duality, and let $H\subset F$ be such that the class of closed bounded absolutely convex sets with respect to $\sigma(E,H)$ is the same as with respect to $\sigma(E,F)$.

What can be said about $H$? Is it true that $H=F$?
