Polar set

In this file we define the polar set. There are different notions of the polar, we will define the absolute polar. The advantage over the real polar is that we can define the absolute polar for any bilinear form B : E →ₗ[𝕜] F →ₗ[𝕜] 𝕜, where 𝕜 is a normed commutative ring and E and F are modules over 𝕜.

Main definitions

• LinearMap.polar: The polar of a bilinear form B : E →ₗ[𝕜] F →ₗ[𝕜] 𝕜.

Main statements

• LinearMap.polar_eq_iInter: The polar as an intersection.
• LinearMap.subset_bipolar: The polar is a subset of the bipolar.
• LinearMap.polar_weak_closed: The polar is closed in the weak topology induced by B.flip.

The (absolute) polar of s : Set E is given by the set of all y : F such that ‖B x y‖ ≤ 1 for all x ∈ s.

The map B.polar : Set E → Set F forms an order-reversing Galois connection with B.flip.polar : Set F → Set E. We use OrderDual.toDual and OrderDual.ofDual to express that polar is order-reversing.
