Dual vector spaces #
The dual space of an $R$-module $M$ is the $R$-module of $R$-linear maps $M \to R$. This file contains basic results on dual vector spaces.
Main definitions #
- Submodules:

A vector space over a field is isomorphic to its dual if and only if it is finite-dimensional: a consequence of the Erdős-Kaplansky theorem.
Alias of Module.dual_free.
Alias of Module.dual_projective.
Alias of Module.dual_finite.
For an example of a non-free projective K-module V for which the forward implication
fails, see https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/05WG#comment-9913.
See also Module.instFiniteDimensionalOfIsReflexive for the converse over a field.
Consider a reflexive module and a set s of linear forms. If for any z ≠ 0 there exists
f ∈ s such that f z ≠ 0, then s spans the whole dual space.
Given some linear forms $L_1, ..., L_n, K$ over a vector space $E$, if $\bigcap_{i=1}^n \mathrm{ker}(L_i) \subseteq \mathrm{ker}(K)$, then $K$ is in the space generated by $L_1, ..., L_n$.
Submodule.dualAnnihilator and Submodule.dualCoannihilator form a Galois coinsertion.

Instances For
Given a subspace W of V and an element of its dual φ, dualLift W φ is
an arbitrary extension of φ to an element of the dual of V.

Given a submodule, restrict to the pairing on W by
simultaneously corestricting to Module.Dual R M ⧸ W.dualAnnihilator.
This is Submodule.dualRestrict factored through the quotient by its kernel (which
is W.dualAnnihilator by definition).

That $\operatorname{im}(q^* : (V/W)^* \to V^*) = \operatorname{ann}(W)$.
Equivalence $(M/W)^* \cong \operatorname{ann}(W)$. That is, there is a one-to-one
correspondence between the dual of M ⧸ W and those elements of the dual of M that
vanish on W.
The inverse of this is Submodule.dualCopairing.

For vector spaces, dual annihilators carry direct sum decompositions to direct sum decompositions.
For finite-dimensional vector spaces, one can distribute duals over quotients by identifying
W.dualLift.range with W. Note that this depends on a choice of splitting of V₁.
