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 #

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

Main statements #

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

galois_connection (⇑order_dual.to_dual ∘ B.polar) (B.flip.polar ∘ ⇑order_dual.of_dual)

The map B.polar : set E → set F forms an order-reversing Galois connection with B.flip.polar : set F → set E. We use order_dual.to_dual and order_dual.of_dual to express that polar is order-reversing.
