Pulling back continuous bilinear maps, and their quadratic maps #
A continuous linear map u : W โL[๐] V pulls a continuous bilinear map B on V back to the
bilinear map B (u ยท) (u ยท) on W. This operation is itself continuous and linear in B
(ContinuousLinearMap.pullbackBilinL), so that it commutes with derivatives of families of
bilinear maps, such as the coordinate expressions of metrics. In particular, pulling back each
value of a continuous family of multilinear maps valued in bilinear maps, along u in every
argument, gives a continuous family
(Continuous.pullbackBilinL_compContinuousMultilinearMap). Pulling back along a bijection preserves
nondegeneracy (ContinuousLinearMap.injective_bilinearComp).
The quadratic map x โฆ B x x of a continuous bilinear map is Lipschitz on every ball, with a
constant proportional to the radius: โB x x - B y yโ โค โBโ (โxโ + โyโ) โx - yโ
(ContinuousLinearMap.norm_apply_apply_sub_apply_apply_le). This is the quadratic estimate on the
nonlinear terms of an equation that is quadratic in its unknown.
Pulling back along continuous linear equivalences keeps a bilinear map Bโ : V โL V' โL G
invertible as a map to the dual (ContinuousLinearMap.IsInvertible.bilinearComp), and it
conjugates the comparison operator Bโโปยน โ B of two such maps by the equivalence in the first
slot (ContinuousLinearMap.inverse_bilinearComp_comp_bilinearComp). This is how operators built
from a pair of bilinear forms, such as the Morse congruence of a form with a reference form,
transform under a linear change of coordinates.
An invertible bilinear map Bโ : V โL V โL G determines adjoints of operators on V: the
adjoint ContinuousLinearMap.pairingAdjoint Bโ X is characterized by
Bโ (adj X w) w' = Bโ w (X w') (ContinuousLinearMap.IsInvertible.pairingAdjoint_apply). It
reverses products, fixes the identity, and tends to the identity as Bโ stays near an
invertible map and X tends to the identity. On Banach spaces the comparison operator
Bโโปยน โ B also tends to the identity as both maps tend to the same invertible map
(ContinuousLinearMap.IsInvertible.tendsto_inverse_comp).
Pulling a continuous bilinear map back along a continuous linear map u,
B โฆ B (u ยท) (u ยท), as a continuous linear map in B.
Instances For
pullbackBilinL u precomposes a bilinear map with u, and then each of its values with u.
In this form it is visibly built from u by continuous linear operations, so that, for instance,
its regularity in u follows from that of the precomposition maps compL.
The quadratic map x โฆ B x x of a continuous bilinear map B satisfies
โB x x - B y yโ โค โBโ (โxโ + โyโ) โx - yโ.
Pulling a nondegenerate bilinear map back along a bijective continuous linear map keeps it nondegenerate.
Pulling a bilinear map that is invertible, as a map to the space of linear maps on its second argument, back along continuous linear equivalences in both arguments keeps it invertible.
Pulling two bilinear maps back along continuous linear equivalences conjugates their
comparison operator Bโโปยน โ B by the equivalence eโ in the first argument.
The adjoint of an operator X on V for the pairing Bโ, Bโโปยน โ (ยท โ X) โ Bโ. When
Bโ is invertible it is characterized by Bโ (adj X w) w' = Bโ w (X w')
(ContinuousLinearMap.IsInvertible.pairingAdjoint_apply).
Instances For
The adjoint for the pairing Bโ is Bโโปยน โ (ยท โ X) โ Bโ.
The defining property of the adjoint for an invertible pairing.
Operators are determined by their pairings against an invertible bilinear map.
The adjoint for an invertible pairing reverses products.
The adjoint of the identity for an invertible pairing is the identity.
The comparison operator eโโปยน โ e tends to the identity as both maps tend to the same
invertible map.
The adjoint of X for the pairing Bโ tends to the identity as Bโ tends to an
invertible pairing and X tends to the identity.
Pulling back each value of a continuous family f of multilinear maps valued in bilinear
maps, both in its arguments and in its values, along a continuous linear map u gives a
continuous family. Applied to iterated derivatives of a family of bilinear forms, this is the
pullback of all their coordinate derivatives along u.
