The topological dual of a normed space #
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 ๐ = โ or ๐ = โ, 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 โโแตข[๐] (dual ๐ (dual ๐ 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.

dual
The topological dual of a seminormed space E.
Equations
- normed_space.dual ๐ E = (E โL[๐] ๐)
Equations
The inclusion of a normed space in its double (topological) dual, considered as a bounded linear map.
Equations
- normed_space.inclusion_in_double_dual ๐ E = continuous_linear_map.apply ๐ ๐
The dual pairing as a bilinear form.
Equations
- normed_space.dual_pairing ๐ E = continuous_linear_map.coe_lm ๐
If one controls the norm of every f x, then one controls the norm of x.
Compare continuous_linear_map.op_norm_le_bound.

The inclusion of a normed space in its double dual is an isometry onto its image.
Equations
- normed_space.inclusion_in_double_dual_li ๐ = {to_linear_map := (normed_space.inclusion_in_double_dual ๐ E).to_linear_map, norm_map' := _}
Given a subset s in a normed space E (over a field ๐), the polar
polar ๐ s is the subset of dual ๐ E consisting of those functionals which
evaluate to something of norm at most one at all points z โ s.
Equations
- normed_space.polar ๐ = (normed_space.dual_pairing ๐ E).flip.polar
If x' is a dual element such that the norms โฅx' zโฅ are bounded for z โ s, then a
small scalar multiple of x' is in polar ๐ 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 ๐ s are bounded by a constant.
