Spaces with separating dual

We introduce a typeclass SeparatingDual R V, registering that the points of the topological module V over R can be separated by continuous linear forms.

This property is satisfied for normed spaces over ℝ or ℂ (by the analytic Hahn-Banach theorem) and for locally convex topological spaces over ℝ (by the geometric Hahn-Banach theorem).

Under the assumption SeparatingDual R V, we show in SeparatingDual.exists_continuousLinearMap_apply_eq that the group of continuous linear equivalences acts transitively on the set of nonzero vectors.

When E is a topological module over a topological ring R, the class SeparatingDual R E registers that continuous linear forms on E separate points of E.

• exists_ne_zero' (x : V) : x ≠ 0 → ∃ (f : V →L[R] R), f x ≠ 0

  Any nonzero vector can be mapped by a continuous linear map to a nonzero scalar.

Given a finite-dimensional subspace W of a space V with separating dual, any linear functional on W extends to a continuous linear functional on V. This is stated more generally for an injective linear map from W to V.

In a topological vector space with separating dual, the group of continuous linear equivalences acts transitively on the set of nonzero vectors: given two nonzero vectors x and y, there exists A : V ≃L[R] V mapping x to y.
