The locally convex topology on a vector space $X$ generated by the family of semi-norms $p(x)=|f(x)|$, where $f$ ranges over some subset $F$ of the (algebraic) adjoint space $X^*$.

Comments

The weak topology as introduced above is often denoted by $\sigma(X,F)$. It is a Hausdorff topology if and only if $F$ is a total set, that is, separates the points of $X$.

See also Strong topology.
