Weak dual topology

This file 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.

Main definitions

The main definition is the type WeakBilin B.

• Given B : E →ₗ[𝕜] F →ₗ[𝕜] 𝕜, the type WeakBilin B is a type synonym for E.
• The instance WeakBilin.instTopologicalSpace is the weak topology induced by the bilinear form B.

Main results

We establish that WeakBilin B has the following structure:

• WeakBilin.instContinuousAdd: The addition in WeakBilin B is continuous.
• WeakBilin.instContinuousSMul: The scalar multiplication in WeakBilin B is continuous.

We prove the following results characterizing the weak topology:

• eval_continuous: For any y : F, the evaluation mapping fun x => B x y is continuous.
• continuous_of_continuous_eval: For a mapping to WeakBilin B to be continuous, it suffices that its compositions with pairing with B at all points y : F is continuous.
• tendsto_iff_forall_eval_tendsto: Convergence in WeakBilin B can be characterized in terms of convergence of the evaluations at all points y : F.

Notations

No new notation is introduced.
