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.
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 ๐ s
is the subset ofdual ๐ E
consisting of those functionalsx'

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
.

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.
