Abstract
In this note we study the weak topology on paired modules over a (not necessarily
commutative) ground ring. Over QF rings we are able to recover most of the well
known properties of this topology in the case of commutative base fields. The proper-
ties of the linear weak topology and the dense pairings are then used to characterize
pairings satisfying the so called -condition.
Introduction
Let R be a commutative field, V, W be vector spaces over R with a non-degenerating R-
bilinear form : V ×W R, P := (V, W) be the induced R-pairing and consider V
P
W
and W
P
