A Necessary Condition for F-Spaces to be Separable

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: A topological vector space E has the countable intersection property for subspaces if every family of closed subspaces intersecting to $0$ contains a countable subfamily that also intersects to $0$. We prove that every separable F-space satisfies this property, whereas a TVS with an uncountable Markushevich basis does not. Finally, we construct a separable TVS that fails to satisfy this property.
