The topological dual of a normed space

In this file we define the topological dual NormedSpace.Dual of a normed space, and the continuous linear map NormedSpace.inclusionInDoubleDual 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 NormedSpace.inclusionInDoubleDualLi 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 SeminormedAddCommGroup and we specialize to NormedAddCommGroup when needed.

Main definitions

• inclusionInDoubleDual and inclusionInDoubleDualLi are the inclusion of a normed space in its double dual, considered as a bounded linear map and as a linear isometry, respectively.
• polar 𝕜 s is the subset of Dual 𝕜 E consisting of those functionals x' for which ‖x' z‖ ≤ 1 for every z ∈ s.
