"Descriptive Topology in Selected Topics of Functional Analysis" is a collection of recent developments in the field of descriptive topology, specifically focused on the classes of infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces that appear in functional analysis. Such spaces include Fréchet spaces, (LF)-spaces and their duals, and the space of continuous real-valued functions C(X) on a completely regular Hausdorff space X, to name a few. These vector spaces appear in functional analysis in distribution theory, differential equations, complex analysis, and various other analytical settings.
This monograph provides new insights into the connections between the topological properties of linear function spaces and their applications in functional analysis.

From the reviews:
"The book summarizes many results which describe various aspects of the structure of topological vector spaces . . Most of the chosen material is relatively recent and appears in book form for the first time. . Together with a rich list of references the book can help in finding and understanding many finer questions concerning various aspects of the structure of subclasses of the class of topological vector spaces." (Petr Holický, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1231, 2012)
"The authors collect a large amount of material displaying connections between general topology and functional analysis with regard to properties of infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces. . It is a fine piece of scholarship with well-organized, readable proofs. . It is an encyclopedia of a subject meant for researchers and advanced graduate students likely interested in research for an advanced degree, and/or adding more knowledge to a course in which they are enrolled." (E. Beckenstein, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2013)

Jerzy K¿kol is Full Professor of Mathematics at the Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznä (Poland). His research is strongly connected with functional analysis, infinite-dimensional and descriptive topology, and applications of topological methods in functional analysis. He published over 180 research papers, mainly in functional analysis and (descriptive) topology. In 1989/91 he was a scholarship holder of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation, which he carried out at the Universities of Munich and Saarbrucken. He conducted scientific research as a visiting professor at several universities in US (New York, Gainesville and Grand Forks, among others) and in Spain (Valencia, Murcia). Since 2005 he has been a member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences.
Wieslaw Kubi¿ is Full Professor of Mathematics, currently a Researcher in the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czechia, and also Professor at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw, Poland. His research spans several areas of pure mathematics: set theory, category theory, topology, and functional analysis---aiming at developing generic mathematical structures. He has published over 60 research articles, and is a co-author of the first edition of the current monograph. Prof. Kubi¿ is currently leading a prestigious five-year Excellence in Basic Research Grant Project EXPRO, awarded by the Czech Science Foundation.
Manuel López-Pellicer was Full Professor of Mathematics at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) until 2015 and since then he is Professor Emeritus.
