Streszczenie
It is proved that every real metrizable locally convex space which is not nuclear contains a closed additive subgroup $K$ such that the quotient group $G=(\mathop{\rm span} K)/K$ admits a non-trivial continuous positive definite function, but no non-trivial continuous character. Consequently, $G$ cannot satisfy any form of the Bochner theorem.
