Constructions of continuous linear maps between (semi-)normed spaces

A fundamental fact about (semi-)linear maps between normed spaces over sensible fields is that continuity and boundedness are equivalent conditions. That is, for normed spaces E, F, a LinearMap f : E →ₛₗ[σ] F is the coercion of some ContinuousLinearMap f' : E →SL[σ] F, if and only if there exists a bound C such that for all x, ‖f x‖ ≤ C * ‖x‖.

We prove one direction in this file: LinearMap.mkContinuous, boundedness implies continuity. The other direction, ContinuousLinearMap.bound, is deferred to a later file, where the strong operator topology on E →SL[σ] F is available, because it is natural to use ContinuousLinearMap.bound to define a norm ⨆ x, ‖f x‖ / ‖x‖ on E →SL[σ] F and to show that this is compatible with the strong operator topology.

This file also contains several corollaries of LinearMap.mkContinuous: other "easy" constructions of continuous linear maps between normed spaces.

This file is meant to be lightweight (it is imported by much of the analysis library); think twice before adding imports!

General constructions

def LinearMap.mkContinuous {𝕜 : Type u_1} {𝕜₂ : Type u_2} {E : Type u_3} {F : Type u_4} [Ring 𝕜] [Ring 𝕜₂] [SeminormedAddCommGroup E] [SeminormedAddCommGroup F] [Module 𝕜 E] [Module 𝕜₂ F] {σ : 𝕜 →+* 𝕜₂} (f : E →ₛₗ[σ] F) (C : ℝ) (h : ∀ (x : E), ‖f x‖ ≤ C * ‖x‖) : E →SL[σ] F

Construct a continuous linear map from a linear map and a bound on this linear map. The fact that the norm of the continuous linear map is then controlled is given in LinearMap.mkContinuous_norm_le.

Equations

• f.mkContinuous C h = { toLinearMap := f, cont := ⋯ }

Construct a continuous linear map from a linear map and the existence of a bound on this linear map. If you have an explicit bound, use LinearMap.mkContinuous instead, as a norm estimate will follow automatically in LinearMap.mkContinuous_norm_le.

• f.mkContinuousOfExistsBound h = { toLinearMap := f, cont := ⋯ }

Homotheties

A (semi-)linear map which is a homothety is a continuous linear map. Since the field 𝕜 need not have ℝ as a subfield, this theorem is not directly deducible from the corresponding theorem about isometries plus a theorem about scalar multiplication. Likewise for the other theorems about homotheties in this file.
