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:
Submodule.dualRestrict_comap W'
is the dual annihilator ofW' : Submodule R (Dual R M)
, pulled back alongModule.Dual.eval R M
.Submodule.dualCopairing W
is the canonical pairing betweenW.dualAnnihilator
andM ⧸ W
. It is nondegenerate for vector spaces (subspace.dualCopairing_nondegenerate
).
- Vector spaces:
Subspace.dualLift W
is an arbitrary section (using choice) ofSubmodule.dualRestrict W
.

fails, see https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/05WG#comment-9913.

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.

For vector spaces, f.dualMap
is surjective if and only if f
is injective
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
