Polar set #
In this file we define the polar set. There are different notions of the polar, we will define the
absolute polar. The advantage over the real polar is that we can define the absolute polar for
any bilinear form B : E โโ[๐] F โโ[๐] ๐
, where ๐
is a normed commutative ring and
E
and F
are modules over ๐
.
Main definitions #
LinearMap.polar
: The polar of a bilinear formB : E โโ[๐] F โโ[๐] ๐

polar
The (absolute) polar of s : Set E
is given by the set of all y : F
such that โB x yโ โค 1
for all x โ s
.
Instances For
The map B.polar : Set E โ Set F
forms an order-reversing Galois connection with
B.flip.polar : Set F โ Set E
. We use OrderDual.toDual
and OrderDual.ofDual
to express
that polar
is order-reversing.
The polar set is closed in the weak topology induced by B.flip
.
The polar of a set closed under scalar multiplication as a submodule
