On homomorphisms, open operators and their adjoints

abstract:
The well-known A. Grothendieck's theorem on a homomorphism between locally convex spaces is generalized to the case of topologies which are incompatible with dualities. On the basis of this theorem, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for a weak homomorphism (resp. its adjoint operator, resp. its double adjoint operator) to be again a homomorphism in various topologies of the initial (resp. dual, resp. bidual) spaces. Some new classes of pairs of locally convex spaces satisfying these conditions are established. The results obtained have enabled us to reveal new properties of frequently encountered homomorphisms and weakly open operators, as well as to strengthen and generalize some well-known results
