Exercise 6, § 1

Topological Vector Spaces, I, p. 23

Let K be a non-discrete valued division ring. Show that, for the space ℓK1(N)\ell_K^1(\mathbf{N}) of absolutely summable sequences x=(ξn)x = (\xi_n) of elements of K, the norms ∥x∥1=∑n=0∞∣ξn∣\|x\|_1 = \sum_{n=0}^\infty |\xi_n| and ∥x∥=sup⁡n∣ξn∣\|x\| = \sup_n |\xi_n| are not equivalent (*cf. GT, IX, § 3.3, prop. 7); show that ℓK1(N)\ell_K^1(\mathbf{N}) with the norm ∥x∥\|x\| is never complete even if K is complete; what is its closure in BK(N)\mathscr{B}_K(\mathbf{N})?
