Weak dual topology #
We continue in the setting of Mathlib/Topology/Algebra/Module/WeakBilin.lean,
which defines the weak topology given two vector spaces E and F over a commutative semiring
𝕜 and a bilinear form B : E →ₗ[𝕜] F →ₗ[𝕜] 𝕜. The weak topology on E is the coarsest topology
such that for all y : F every map fun x => B x y is continuous.
In this file, we consider two special cases.
In the case that F = E →L[𝕜] 𝕜 and B being the canonical pairing, we obtain the weak-* topology,
WeakDual 𝕜 E := (E →L[𝕜] 𝕜). Interchanging the arguments in the bilinear form yields the
weak topology WeakSpace 𝕜 E := E.
Main definitions #
The main definitions are the types WeakDual 𝕜 E and WeakSpace 𝕜 E,
with the respective topology instances on it.
WeakDual 𝕜 Eis a type synonym forDual 𝕜 E(when the latter is defined): both are equal to the typeE →L[𝕜] 𝕜of continuous linear maps from a moduleEover𝕜to the ring𝕜.- The instance
WeakDual.instTopologicalSpaceis the weak-* topology onWeakDual 𝕜 E, i.e., the coarsest topology making the evaluation maps at allz : Econtinuous. WeakSpace 𝕜 Eis a type synonym forE(when the latter is defined).- The instance
WeakSpace.instTopologicalSpaceis the weak topology onE, i.e., the coarsest topology such that allv : dual 𝕜 Eremain continuous.

If a monoid M distributively continuously acts on 𝕜 and this action commutes with
multiplication on 𝕜, then it acts distributively on WeakDual 𝕜 E.
If 𝕜 is a topological module over a semiring R and scalar multiplication commutes with the
multiplication on 𝕜, then WeakDual 𝕜 E is a module over R.

their weak topologies.
Equations
- WeakSpace.map f = { toLinearMap := ↑f, cont := ⋯ }
Instances For
There is a canonical map E → WeakSpace 𝕜 E (the "identity"
mapping). It is a linear equivalence.

Instances For
For a topological vector space E, "identity mapping" E → WeakSpace 𝕜 E is continuous.
This definition implements it as a continuous linear map.

Instances For
The canonical map from WeakSpace 𝕜 E to E is an open map.
A set in E which is open in the weak topology is open.
