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.

dual
The topological dual of a seminormed space E.
Equations
- normed_space.dual 𝕜 E = (E →L[𝕜] 𝕜)
Equations
The inclusion of a normed space in its double (topological) dual, considered as a bounded linear map.
Equations
The dual pairing as a bilinear form.
Equations
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
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.
