In [[mathematics]],
The article [[operator topologies]] discusses topologies on spaces of linear maps between [[normed space]]s, whereas this article discusses topologies on such spaces in the more general setting of [[topological vector space]]s (TVSs).

Throughout
<ol>
<li><math>T</math> is any non-empty set and <math>\mathcal{G}</math> is a non-empty collection of subsets of <math>T</math> [[Directed set|directed]] by subset inclusion (i.e. for any <math>G, H \in \mathcal{G}</math> there exists some <math>K \in \mathcal{G}</math> such that
<li><math>Y</math> is a [[topological vector space]] (not necessarily Hausdorff or locally convex)
<li><math>\mathcal{N}</math <li><math>
</ol>
===𝒢-topology===
The following sets will constitute the basic open subsets of topologies on spaces of linear maps.
For any subsets <math>G \subseteq T</math> and <math>N \subseteq Y,</math> let
<math display="block">\mathcal{U}(G, N) := \{f \in F : f(G) \subseteq N\}.</math>
The family
<math display="block">\{ \mathcal{U}(G, N) : G \in \mathcal{G}, N \in \mathcal{N} \}</math>
forms a [[Neighbourhood system|neighborhood basis]]<ref>Note that each set <math>\mathcal{U}(G, N)</math> is a neighborhood of the origin for this topology, but it is not necessarily an ''open'' neighborhood of the origin.</ref>
at the origin for a unique translation-invariant topology on <math>F,</math> where this topology is {{em|not}} necessarily a vector topology (that is, it might not make <math>F</math> into a TVS).
This topology does not depend on the neighborhood basis <math>\mathcal{N}</math> that was chosen and it is known as the '''topology of uniform convergence on the sets in <math>\mathcal{G}</math>''' or as the '''<math>\mathcal{G}</math>-topology'''.{{sfn|Schaefer|Wolff|1999|pp=79-88}}
However, this name is frequently changed according to the types of sets that make up <math>\mathcal{G}</math> (e.g. the "topology of uniform convergence on compact sets" or the "topology of compact convergence", see the footnote for more details<ref>In practice, <math>\mathcal{G}</math> usually consists of a collection of sets with certain properties and this name is changed appropriately to reflect this set so that if, for instance, <math>\mathcal{G}</math> is the collection of compact subsets of <math>T</math> (and <math>T</math> is a topological space), then this topology is called the topology of uniform convergence on the compact subsets of <math>T.</math></ref>).

'''Properties'''
Properties of the basic open sets will now be described, so assume that <math>G \in \mathcal{G}</math> and <math>N \in \mathcal{N}.</math>
Then <math>\mathcal{U}(G, N)</math> is an [[Absorbing set|absorbing]] subset of <math>F</math> if and only if for all <math>f \in F,</math> <math>N</math> absorbs <math>f(G)</math>.{{sfn|Narici|Beckenstein|2011|pp=371-423}}
If <math>N</math> is [[Balanced set|balanced]]{{sfn|Narici|Beckenstein|2011|pp=371-423}} (respectively, [[Convex set|convex]]) then so is <math>\mathcal{U}(G, N).</math>
The equality
<math>\mathcal{U}(\varnothing, N) = F</math>
always holds.
If <math>s</math> is a scalar then <math>s \mathcal{U}(G, N) = \mathcal{U}(G, s N),</math> so that in particular, <math>- \mathcal{U}(G, N) = \mathcal{U}(G, - N).</math>{{sfn|Narici|Beckenstein|2011|pp=371-423}}
Moreover,{{sfn|Narici|Beckenstein|2011|pp=19-45}}
<math display=block>\mathcal{U}(G, N) - \mathcal{U}(G, N) \subseteq \mathcal{U}(G, N - N)</math>
and similarly{{sfn|Jarchow|1981|pp=43-55}}
<math display=block>\mathcal{U}(G, M) + \mathcal{U}(G, N) \subseteq \mathcal{U}(G, M + N).</math>
For any subsets <math>G, H \subseteq X</math> and any non-empty subsets <math>M, N \subseteq Y,</math>{{sfn|Jarchow|1981|pp=43-55}}
<math display=block>\mathcal{U}(G \cup H, M \cap N) \subseteq \mathcal{U}(G, M) \cap \mathcal{U}(H, N)</math>
which implies:
<ul>
<li>if <math>M \subseteq N</math> then <math>\mathcal{U}(G, M) \subseteq \mathcal{U}(G, N).</math>{{sfn|Narici|Beckenstein|2011|pp=371-423}}</li>
<li>if <math>G \subseteq H</math> then <math>\mathcal{U}(H, N) \subseteq \mathcal{U}(G, N).</math></li>
<li>For any <math>M, N \in \mathcal{N}</math> and subsets <math>G, H, K</math> of <math>T,</math> if <math>G \cup H \subseteq K</math> then <math>\mathcal{U}(K, M \cap N) \subseteq \mathcal{U}(G, M) \cap \mathcal{U}(H, N).</math></li>
</ul>
For any family <math>\mathcal{S}</math> of subsets of <math>T</math> and any family <math>\mathcal{M}</math> of neighborhoods of the origin in <math>Y,</math>{{sfn|Narici|Beckenstein|2011|pp=19-45}} <math display="block">\mathcal{U}\left(\bigcup_{S \in \mathcal{S}} S, N\right) = \bigcap_{S \in \mathcal{S}} \mathcal{U}(S, N) \qquad \text{ and } \qquad \mathcal{U}\left(G, \bigcap_{M \in \mathcal{M}} M\right) = \bigcap_{M \in \mathcal{M}} \mathcal{U}(G, M).</math>
===Uniform structure===
{{See also|Uniform space}}
For any <math>G \subseteq T</math> and <math>U \subseteq Y \times Y</math> be any [[Uniform space|entourage]] of <math>Y</math> (where <math>Y</math> is endowed with its [[Complete topological vector space#Canonical uniformity|canonical uniformity]]), let
<math display=block>\mathcal{W}(G, U) ~:=~ \left\{(u, v) \in Y^T \times Y^T ~:~ (u(g), v(g)) \in U \; \text{ for every } g \in G\right\}.</math>
Given <math>G \subseteq T,</math> the family of all sets <math>\mathcal{W}(G, U)</math> as <math>U</math> ranges over any fundamental system of entourages of <math>Y</math> forms a fundamental system of entourages for a uniform structure on <math>Y^T</math> called {{em|the uniformity of uniform converges on <math>G</math>}} or simply {{em|the <math>G</math>-convergence uniform structure}}.{{sfn|Grothendieck|1973|pp=1-13}}
The {{em|<math>\mathcal{G}</math>-convergence uniform structure}} is the least upper bound of all <math>G</math>-convergence uniform structures as <math>G \in \mathcal{G}</math> ranges over <math>\mathcal{G}.</math>{{sfn|Grothendieck|1973|pp=1-13}}

If we let <math>\mathcal{G}</math> be the set of all finite subsets of <math>T</math> then the <math>\mathcal{G}</math>-topology on <math>F</math> is called the '''topology of pointwise convergence'''.
The topology of pointwise convergence on <math>F</math> is identical to the subspace topology that <math>F</math> inherits from <math>Y^T</math> when <math>Y^T</math> is endowed with the usual [[product topology]].

Throughout this section we will assume that <math>X</math> and <math>Y</math> are [[topological vector space]]s.
<math>\mathcal{G}</math> will be a non-empty collection of subsets of <math>X</math> [[Directed set|directed]] by inclusion.
<math>L(X; Y)</math> will denote the vector space of all continuous linear maps from <math>X</math> into <math>Y.</math> If <math>L(X; Y)</math> is given the <math>\mathcal{G}</math>-topology inherited from <math>Y^X</math> then this space with this topology is denoted by <math>L_{\mathcal{G}}(X; Y)</math>.
The [[Dual space#Continuous dual space|continuous dual space]] of a topological vector space <math>X</math> over the field <math>\mathbb{F}</math> (which we will assume to be [[real numbers|real]] or [[complex numbers]]) is the vector space <math>L(X; \mathbb{F})</math> and is denoted by <math>X^{\prime}</math>.
Note in particular that this is the case if <math>\mathcal{G}</math> consists of [[Bounded set (topological vector space)|(von-Neumann) bounded]] subsets of <math>X.</math>
===
The above assumption guarantees that the collection of sets <math>\mathcal{U}(G, N)</math> forms a [[filter base]].
The next assumption will guarantee that the sets <math>\mathcal{U}(G, N)</math> are [[Balanced set|balanced]].
Every TVS has a neighborhood basis at 0 consisting of balanced sets so this assumption isn't
The following assumption is very commonly made because it will guarantee that each set <math>\mathcal{U}(G, N)</math> is absorbing in <math>L(X; Y).</math>

Some authors (e.g. Narici) require that <math>\mathcal{G}</math> satisfy the following condition, which implies, in particular, that <math>\mathcal{G}</math> is [[Directed set|directed]] by subset inclusion:
:<math>\mathcal{G}</math> is assumed to be closed with respect to the formation of subsets of finite unions of sets in <math>\mathcal{G}</math> (i.e. every subset of every finite union of sets in <math>\mathcal{G}</math> belongs to <math>\mathcal{G}</math>).
Some authors (e.g. Trèves {{sfn|Trèves|2006|loc=Chapter 32}}) require that <math>\mathcal{G}</math> be directed under subset inclusion and that it satisfy the following condition:
:If <math>G \in \mathcal{G}</math> and
If <math>\mathcal{G}</math> is a [[bornology]] on <math>X,</math> which is often the case, then these axioms are satisfied.
If <math>\mathcal{G}</math> is a [[saturated family]] of [[Bounded set (topological vector space)|bounded]] subsets of <math>X</math> then these axioms are also satisfied.

If <math>\mathcal{G}</math> is a family of subsets of a TVS <math>T</math> then <math>\mathcal{G}</math> is said to be '''[[Total set|total in <math>T</math>]]''' if the [[linear span]] of <math>\bigcup_{G \in \mathcal{G}} G</math> is dense in <math>T.</math>{{sfn|Schaefer|Wolff|1999|p=80}}
