Characterization of Dual Topologies
The Mackey–Arens theorem, named after George Mackey and Richard Arens, characterizes all possible dual topologies on a locally convex spaces.
The theorem shows that the coarsest dual topology is the weak topology, the topology of uniform convergence on all finite subsets of, and the finest topology is the Mackey topology, the topology of uniform convergence on all weakly compact subsets of .

Famous quotes containing the word dual:
“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
