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
π and a bilinear form B : E ββ[π] F ββ[π] π. 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 βL[π] π and B being the canonical pairing, we obtain the weak-* topology,
WeakDual π E := (E βL[π] π). Interchanging the arguments in the bilinear form yields the
weak topology WeakSpace π E := E.
Main definitions #
The main definitions are the types WeakDual π E and WeakSpace π E,
with the respective topology instances on it.
WeakDual π Eis a type synonym forDual π E(when the latter is defined): both are equal to the typeE βL[π] πof continuous linear maps from a moduleEoverπto the ringπ.- The instance
WeakDual.instTopologicalSpaceis the weak-* topology onWeakDual π E, i.e., the coarsest topology making the evaluation maps at allz : Econtinuous. WeakSpace π 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 π Eremain continuous.

The weak star topology is the topology coarsest topology on E βL[π] π such that all
functionals fun v => v x are continuous.
Instances For
If a monoid M distributively continuously acts on π and this action commutes with
multiplication on π, then it acts on WeakDual π E.
If a monoid M distributively continuously acts on π and this action commutes with
multiplication on π, then it acts distributively on WeakDual π E.
If π is a topological module over a semiring R and scalar multiplication commutes with the
multiplication on π, then WeakDual π E is a module over R.
If a monoid M distributively continuously acts on π and this action commutes with
multiplication on π, then it continuously acts on WeakDual π E.
The weak topology is the topology coarsest topology on E such that all functionals
fun x => v x are continuous.
Instances For
A continuous linear map from E to F is still continuous when E and F are equipped with
their weak topologies.
Instances For
There is a canonical map E β WeakSpace π E (the "identity"
mapping). It is a linear equivalence.
Instances For
For a topological vector space E, "identity mapping" E β WeakSpace π E is continuous.
This definition implements it as a continuous linear map.
Instances For
The canonical map from WeakSpace π E to E is an open map.
A set in E which is open in the weak topology is open.
