The FrΓ©chet-Riesz representation theorem #

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.
