Recommended literature

The lecture notes available (here, to be completed) form the basic source.


The literature recommended in SIS is the following:
[1] Rudin, W.: Functional analysis. Second edition, McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1991
[2] M.Fabian et al.: Banach Space Theory, Springer 2011
[3] J.Diestel and J.J.Uhl: Vector measures, Mathematical Surveys and Monongraphs 15, American Mathematical Society 1977
[4] R.R.Ryan: Introduction to tensor products of Banach spaces, Springer 2002


More precisely:

Chapters V and VI, i.e., locally convex spaces and weak topologies approximately corresponds to Chapters 1-3 of [1]. This is not exact, the book works in a more general setting (for example Chapter 2 and, in general, the text works with general topological vector spaces) and, conversely, something is only briefly mentioned (polar calculus). One can also use Chapter 3 of book [2].


Chapter VII, the theory of distributions, is more than covered by chapters 6 and 7 of [1].


The topic of Chapter VIII, elements of vector integration, is addressed for example in sections III.1-III.3 of [3] Another approach can be found for example in the book [4], in sections 2.3 and 3.3.


Chapter IX, compact convex sets, is covered by Sections 3.8 and 3.9 of [2].
