RT Book, Section T1 Bounded duality in topological abelian groups A1 Martín Peinador, Elena A1 Chasco, M. J. A2 Amigó, J. M. A2 Cánovas, M. J. A2 López-Cerdá, M. A. A2 López-Pellicer, M. AB We define the β-duality for topological Abelian groups by means of the notion of Hejcman of boundedness in uniform spaces. A real locally convex space considered as an Abelian topological group is β-reflexive iff it is reflexive in the ordinary sense for locally convex spaces. Thus, β-reflexivity is the natural extension to Abelian topological groups of the well-known notion of reflexivity. We prove: 1) A locally compact Abelian group is β-reflexive. 2) A β-reflexive metrizable group is reflexive in Pontryagin sense. 3) The β-bidual of a metrizable group is also a metrizable group.
