The topological dual of a normed space #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
In this file we define the topological dual normed_space.dual
of a normed space, and the
continuous linear map normed_space.inclusion_in_double_dual
from a normed space into its double
dual.
For base field 𝕜 = ℝ
or 𝕜 = ℂ
, this map is actually an isometric embedding; we provide a
version normed_space.inclusion_in_double_dual_li
of the map which is of type a bundled linear
isometric embedding, E →ₗᵢ[𝕜] (dual 𝕜 (dual 𝕜 E))
.
Since a lot of elementary properties don't require eq_of_dist_eq_zero
we start setting up the
theory for seminormed_add_comm_group
and we specialize to normed_add_comm_group
when needed.
Main definitions #
inclusion_in_double_dual
andinclusion_in_double_dual_li
are the inclusion of a normed space in its double dual, considered as a bounded linear map and as a linear isometry, respectively.polar 𝕜 s
is the subset ofdual 𝕜 E
consisting of those functionalsx'
for which‖x' z‖ ≤ 1
for everyz ∈ s

The inclusion of a normed space in its double dual is an isometry onto its image.
Equations
Given a subset s
in a normed space E
(over a field 𝕜
), the polar
polar 𝕜 s
is the subset of dual 𝕜 E
consisting of those functionals which
evaluate to something of norm at most one at all points z ∈ s
.
Equations
If x'
is a dual element such that the norms ‖x' z‖
are bounded for z ∈ s
, then a
small scalar multiple of x'
is in polar 𝕜 s
.
The polar
of closed ball in a normed space E
is the closed ball of the dual with
inverse radius.
Given a neighborhood s
of the origin in a normed space E
, the dual norms
of all elements of the polar polar 𝕜 s
are bounded by a constant.
