If E is a Hausdorff barrelled space, which does not already have its finest locally convex topology, then the continuous dual E′ may be enlarged within the algebraic dual E*. Robertson and Yeomans [10] have recently investigated whether E can retain the barrelled property under such enlargements. Whereas finite-dimensional enlargements of the dual preserve barrelledness, they have shown that this is not always so for countable-dimensional enlargements E′+M. In fact, if E contains an infinitedimensional bounded set, there always exists a countable-dimensional M for which the Mackey topology τ(E, E′+M) is not barrelled [10, Theorem 2].
