The continuous ZMod n-dual of a topological group #

The continuous characters of a topological group with values in the multiplicative encoding Multiplicative (ZMod n) of ZMod n form a commutative group, written additively as the continuous ZMod n-dual TauCeti.continuousZModDual n G. Scalar n kills the target, hence the character group as well, so the dual is a ZMod n-module; for a prime p it is an 𝔽_p-vector space, the discrete companion of a compact 𝔽_p-vector group.

When the group is itself commutative with a ZMod p-module structure on its additive copy β€” for a prime p, an elementary abelian group β€” a continuous character of it is in particular a linear functional on that module, so TauCeti.continuousZModDualToDual reads the continuous dual inside the algebraic dual, injectively.

Main definitions #

@[reducible, inline]

The continuous ZMod n-dual of a topological group: its group of continuous characters with values in ZMod n, written additively so that it is a ZMod n-module. For a prime p it is the continuous 𝔽_p-dual, an 𝔽_p-vector space.

    The continuous ZMod n-valued characters form a ZMod n-module: the target has exponent dividing n, hence so does the character group.

    Equations

    Evaluation at a point g : G, as a ZMod n-linear functional on the continuous ZMod n-dual of G: a character Ο‡ goes to its value at g, read additively.

      Evaluation at g sends a character to its value at g.

        The transpose of f precomposes a character of H with f.

        @[simp]

        The transpose of f evaluates a character of H along f.

        @[simp]

        The transpose of the identity is the identity.

        @[simp]

        The transpose of a composite is the composite of the transposes, in the reverse order.

        The transpose of a topological group isomorphism is bijective: its inverse is the transpose of the inverse isomorphism.

        A continuous ZMod p-valued character of a commutative group W whose additive copy is a ZMod p-module, read as a linear functional on that module; for a prime p and an elementary abelian W this is a functional on the 𝔽_p-vector space Additive W. It is injective (TauCeti.continuousZModDualToDual_injective), so the continuous dual is a subspace of the algebraic dual.
