==𝒢-ℋ topologies on spaces of bilinear maps==
 
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> (respectively, <math>\mathcal{H}</math>) be a family of subsets of <math>X</math> (respectively, <math>Y</math>) containing at least one non-empty set.
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:
* <math>X</math> and <math>Y</math> are barrelled spaces and <math>Z</math> is locally convex.
