INTRODUCTION

Nuclear spaces were discovered by A. Grothendieck, and the most important part of the theory of nuclear spaces was developed in his famous article (see Grothendieck [ 2]).

Unfortunately, the machinery of tensor

products used there is very cumbersome; this makes the theory some unnecessary difficulties and complicacy.

Pietsch [ 1] was the first to simplify the theory

of nuclear spaces by using locally convex spaces of summable and absolutely summable families, instead of locally convex tensor products.

It is

impression

that the idea of using seminorms satisfying some expected properties to investigate some classes of locally convex spaces, would make the development of the whole theory easier. the topology

This has been done by the author [1] for stu~ing

of uniform convergence on ordeJ:"'-bounded sets.

Thus, one of

the purposes of these lecture notes is to embark upon a unifying treatment of Schwartz spaces, nuclear spaces, and A-nuclear spaces by using this idea. Therefore, this monograph is actually a continuation of that written by the author [ 1]. These lecture notes contain six chapters, starting with Chapter 0 in which terminology and some elementary results in topological vector spaces, that will be used through these notes, are given.

Chapter 1 deals with Schwartz

spaces by means of precompactness of seminorms. nuclear spaces in terms of

Chapter 3 is concerned with

of seminorms; in order to show that

our definition of nuclearity coincides with the usual one, we use the concept of summabili ty wh
