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).

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>

We will let <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math> denote the space of separately continuous bilinear maps and <math>B(X, Y; Z)</math> denote the space of continuous bilinear maps, where <math>X, Y,</math> and <math>Z</math> are topological vector space over the same field (either the real or complex numbers).
In an analogous way to how we placed a topology on <math>L(X; Y)</math> we can place a topology on <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math> and <math>B(X, Y; Z)</math>.
Let <math>\mathcal{G}</math> (
Let <math>\mathcal{G} \times \mathcal{H}</math> denote the collection of all sets <math>G \times H</math> where <math>G \in \mathcal{G},</math> <math>H \in \mathcal{H}.</math>
We can place on <math>Z^{X \times Y}</math> the <math>\mathcal{G} \times \mathcal{H}</math>-topology, and consequently on any of its subsets, in particular on <math>B(X, Y; Z)</math> and on <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math>.
This topology is known as the '''<math>\mathcal{G}-\mathcal{H}</math>-topology''' or as the '''topology of uniform convergence on the products <math>G \times H</math> of <math>\mathcal{G} \times \mathcal{H}</math>'''.
However, as before, this topology is not necessarily compatible with the vector space structure of <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math> or of <math>B(X, Y; Z)</math> without the additional requirement that for all bilinear maps, <math>b</math> in this space (that is, in <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math> or in <math>B(X, Y; Z)</math>) and for all <math>G \in \mathcal{G}</math> and <math>H \in \mathcal{H},</math> the set <math>b(G, H)</math> is bounded in <math>X.</math>
If both <math>\mathcal{G}</math> and <math>\mathcal{H}</math> consist of bounded sets then this requirement is automatically satisfied if we are topologizing <math>B(X, Y; Z)</math> but this may not be the case if we are trying to topologize <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math>.
The <math>\mathcal{G}-\mathcal{H}</math>-topology on <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math> will be compatible with the vector space structure of <math>\mathcal{B}(X, Y; Z)</math> if both <math>\mathcal{G}</math> and <math>\mathcal{H}</math> consists of bounded sets and any of the following conditions hold:

Suppose that <math>X, Y,</math> and <math>Z</math> are locally convex spaces and let <math>\mathcal{G}^{\prime}</math> and <math>\mathcal{H}^{\prime}</math> be the collections of [[Equicontinuous linear functionals|equicontinuous subsets]] of <math>X^{\prime}</math> and <math>X^{\prime}</math>, respectively.
Then the <math>\mathcal{G}^{\prime}-\mathcal{H}^{\prime}</math>-topology on <math>\mathcal{B}\left(X^{\prime}_{b\left(X^{\prime}, X\right)}, Y^{\prime}_{b\left(X^{\prime}, X\right)}; Z\right)</math> will be a topological vector space topology.
This topology is called the ε-topology and <math>\mathcal{B}\left(X^{\prime}_{b\left(X^{\prime}, X\right)}, Y_{b\left(X^{\prime}, X\right)}; Z\right)</math> with this topology it is denoted by <math>\mathcal{B}_{\epsilon}\left(X^{\prime}_{b\left(X^{\prime}, X\right)}, Y^{\prime}_{b\left(X^{\prime}, X\right)}; Z\right)</math> or simply by <math>\mathcal{B}_{\epsilon}\left(X^{\prime}_{b}, Y^{\prime}_{b}; Z\right).</math>

* If <math>X</math> and <math>Y</math> are both normed (respectively, both Banach) then so is <math>\mathcal{B}_{\epsilon}\left(X^{\prime}_{\sigma}, Y^{\prime}_{\sigma}\right)</math>
