The constant one in L∞ #
This file equips L∞(μ) with the class 1 of the constant function one, for any normed group
with a distinguished element 1 and on an arbitrary measure space. Unlike
MeasureTheory.Lp.const, the construction needs no finite-measure hypothesis because the
essential supremum of a constant is always finite. Its norm is that of 1 unless μ = 0, and
its real integral is the total mass of the measure.
Every real L∞ class f satisfies f ≤ ‖f‖ • 1 (MeasureTheory.Lp.le_norm_smul_one), so the
constant one is an order unit, and a positive linear functional on L∞ is controlled by its value
at one; in particular it is continuous (PositiveLinearMap.continuous_lpTop). Conversely, a
nonnegative class f satisfies ‖‖f‖ • 1 - f‖ ≤ ‖f‖
(MeasureTheory.Lp.norm_norm_smul_one_sub_le_of_nonneg), which tests positivity of a functional
bounded by its value at one.
The class of the constant function one, as an element of L∞(μ).
The representative of 1 : L∞(μ) is almost everywhere the constant function one.
On a nonzero measure, the norm of 1 : L∞(μ) is that of 1.
Every real L∞ class lies below its norm times the constant one. With the lemmas of
TauCeti/Analysis/Normed/Order/PositiveLinearMap.lean, this bounds and makes continuous every
positive linear functional on L∞.
A positive linear functional on real L∞ is continuous.
