Topology of function spaces

Dual topology

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics a dual topology is a locally convex topology on a vector space that is induced by the continuous dual of the vector space, by means of the bilinear form (also called pairing) associated with the dual pair. The different dual topologies for a given dual pair are characterized by the Mackey–Arens theorem. All locally convex topologies with their continuous dual are trivially a dual pair and the locally convex topology is a dual topology. Several topological properties depend only on the dual pair and not on the chosen dual topology and thus it is often possible to substitute a complicated dual topology by a simpler one. (Wikipedia).

Dual basis

Dual basis definition and proof that it's a basis In this video, given a basis beta of a vector space V, I define the dual basis beta* of V*, and show that it's indeed a basis. We'll see many more applications of this concept later on, but this video already shows that it's straightforwar

Dual Basis Example

In this video, I show how to explicitly calculate dual bases. More specifically, I find the dual basis corresponding to the basis (2,1) and (3,1) of R^2. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of how dual bases work. Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/drpeyam What is

Duality Argument

In this video, I present a very classical example of a duality argument: Namely, I show that T^T is one-to-one if and only if T is onto and use that to show that T is one-to-one if and only if T^T is onto. This illustrates the beautiful interplay between a vector space and its dual space,

Every basis is a dual basis

In this video, I show a very neat result about dual spaces: Namely, any basis of V* is automatically a dual basis of some basis of V. Even though this result is very interesting, it's the proof that makes this very exciting, by simply using the fact that V and V** are 'very' isomorphic. En
