Pontryagin dual #

This file defines the Pontryagin dual of a topological group. The Pontryagin dual of a topological group A is the topological group of continuous homomorphisms A →* Circle with the compact-open topology. For example, and Circle are Pontryagin duals of each other. This is an example of Pontryagin duality, which states that a locally compact abelian topological group is canonically isomorphic to its double dual.
