The FrΓ©chet-Riesz representation theorem #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
We consider an inner product space E
over π
, which is either β
or β
. We define
to_dual_map
, a conjugate-linear isometric embedding of E
into its dual, which maps an element
x
of the space to Ξ» y, βͺx, yβ«
.
Under the hypothesis of completeness (i.e., for Hilbert spaces), we upgrade this to to_dual
, a
conjugate-linear isometric equivalence of E
onto its dual; that is, we establish the
surjectivity of to_dual_map
. This is the FrΓ©chet-Riesz representation theorem: every element of
the dual of a Hilbert space E
has the form Ξ» u, βͺx, uβ«
for some x : E
.
For a bounded sesquilinear form B : E βLβ[π] E βL[π] π
,
we define a map inner_product_space.continuous_linear_map_of_bilin B : E βL[π] E
,
given by substituting E βL[π] π
with E
using to_dual
.

dual, FrΓ©chet-Riesz
An element x
of an inner product space E
induces an element of the dual space dual π E
,
the map Ξ» y, βͺx, yβ«
; moreover this operation is a conjugate-linear isometric embedding of E
into dual π E
.
If E
is complete, this operation is surjective, hence a conjugate-linear isometric equivalence;
see to_dual
.

FrΓ©chet-Riesz representation: any β
in the dual of a Hilbert space E
is of the form
Ξ» u, βͺy, uβ«
for some y : E
, i.e. to_dual_map
is surjective.
