Ultrabarrelled groups and the closed graph theorem

Extract

Suppose that t is a group homomorphism from a topological group E into a topological group F. When is it true, that the closure of t−1(V) in E is a neighbourhood of the identity in E for every neighbourhood V of the identity in F? This question arises naturally in the study of the closed graph theorem in the context of topological groups; for example, see (1) and ((3), p. 213). The concept of a g-ultrabarrelled space introduced in this paper is the result of an investigation aimed at answering this question.
