Weak Dual in Topological Vector Spaces

We prove that the weak topology induced by a bilinear form B : E →ₗ[𝕜] F →ₗ[𝕜] 𝕜 is locally convex and we explicitly give a neighborhood basis in terms of the family of seminorms fun x => ‖B x y‖ for y : F.

Main definitions

• LinearMap.toSeminorm: turn a linear form f : E →ₗ[𝕜] 𝕜 into a seminorm fun x => ‖f x‖.
• LinearMap.toSeminormFamily: turn a bilinear form B : E →ₗ[𝕜] F →ₗ[𝕜] 𝕜 into a map F → Seminorm 𝕜 E.

Main statements

• LinearMap.hasBasis_weakBilin: the seminorm balls of B.toSeminormFamily form a neighborhood basis of 0 in the weak topology.
• LinearMap.toSeminormFamily.withSeminorms: the topology of a weak space is induced by the family of seminorms B.toSeminormFamily.
• WeakBilin.locallyConvexSpace: a space endowed with a weak topology is locally convex.
• LinearMap.rightDualEquiv: When B is right-separating, F is linearly equivalent to the strong dual of E with the weak topology.
• LinearMap.leftDualEquiv: When B is left-separating, E is linearly equivalent to the strong dual of F with the weak topology.
