The Double Dual Space – Tensors #9

Показать описание

This is a fairly informal discussion of how we realise that the double dual space (in the finite case) can be regarded as isomorphic to (the same as) the original vector space. We therefore realise that whilst dual vectors are linear maps from vectors into R, we can equally view vectors as linear maps from dual vectors into R.

Apologies for the harsh "ess" sounds, tried to filter it as much as possible but my mic isn't great!!

This went full circle really fast lol
Really love this quick-video format, I'll be sure to check out the details of the double dual space
Love your work man

Thank you. I wish we could have gone deeper into this, though, explaining the equality of V and V**.

Am I right in coming to the conclusion that "V* = Hom(V, \mathbb{R}) iff V = Hom(V*, \mathbb{R})?

But can you do it with a Z-module M. And the dual M* = Hom(M, Z)?
