On Mackey topology for groups. (English) Zbl 0930.46006

This paper is a study of group topologies compatible with a given duality. Result: For a complete metrizable topological Abelian group, there always exists a finest locally quasiconvex topology with the same set of continuous characters as the original topology. For the additive group of a complete metrizable topological vector space, this topology coincides with the ordinary Mackey topology.
