Dual space and kernel












0














Having X , a normed vector space and X* = B(X,R) its dual space ( R is the real numbers).
Show that for all f contained in X*, we have that Ker f included in X is a closed subspace.



Knowing that X* is a Banach space, since R is a complete space, does that make X a Banach space too ?
Needing a little help with this one.

  • It is not necessary for $X$ to be a Banach space. Indeed, however, $X^*$ will be a Banach space whether or not $X$ is complete (see this post for instance)

  • This answer really comes down to applying the definitions. In particular: what does $ker f$ mean, and what does it mean for a subspace to be closed?

That $ker f$ is a linear subspace is evident. To prove that it is closed, notice that $ker f = f^{-1}({0})$, which is the preimage of the closed set ${0}$ under the continuous map $f$.



This has nothing to do with $X$ being or not being a Banach space.
