Let V and W be Banach spaces and let $T: V rightarrow W$ and $S: W' rightarrow V'$ be maps with $f(T(v)) = S(f)(v)$ for all $f in W', v in V$. ($V',W'$ are the dual spaces of V and W)



Prove that T is linear and bounded, using the Hahn-Banach theorem.



This exercise appeared in my exam and I had no idea how to prove it. Somehow I find this exercise a little bit strange, but I don't know why.

  1. To show that $T(v_1+v_2)=Tv_1+Tv_2$ for any $v_1,v_2in V$:

Prove by contradiction. Suppose the contrary that there exist $v_1,v_2in V$
such that $T(v_1+v_2)neq Tv_1+Tv_2$. By Hahn-Banach Theorem,
there exists $fin W'$ such that $f(T(v_1+v_2))neq f(Tv_1+Tv_2)$.
On the other hand, $LHS=(Sf)(v_1+v_2)=(Sf)(v_1)+(Sf)(v_2)=f(Tv_1)+f(Tv_2)=f(Tv_1+Tv_2)=RHS$,
which is a contradiction.




  1. To show that $T(alpha v)=alpha T(v)$ for any scalar $alpha$
    (i.e., $alphainmathbbR$ or $alphainmathbbC$, depending
    on the scalar field of $V$ and $W$) and $vin V$:

Prove by contradiction. Suppose the contrary that there exist scalar
$alpha$ and $vin V$ such that $T(alpha v)neqalpha T(v)$. By
Hahn-Banach Theorem, there exists $fin W'$ such that $f(T(alpha v))neq f(alpha T(v))$.
On the other hand, $f(T(alpha v))=(Sf)(alpha v)=alphacdot(Sf)(v)=alphacdot f(Tv)=f(alphacdot Tv)$,
which is a contradiction.




By 1 and 2, $T$ is a linear map. Lastly, we show that $T$ is bounded.



Firstly, we show that $supleq1<infty$.
Let $vin V$ be arbitrary, then
begineqnarray*
sup_fin W',|Sf(v)| & = & sup_fin W',|f(Tv)|\
& leq & sup_fin W',|f|cdot|Tv|\
& = & |Tv|\
& < & infty
endeqnarray*
By Uniform Boundedness Principle, we have that $M:=supleq1<infty$.



Now, we are ready to show that $T$ is bounded and $|T|leq M$.
Let $vin V$ with $|v|leq1$ be arbitrary. If $Tv=0$, we have
$|Tv|leq M$. Suppose that $Tvneq0$. Consider the one dimensional
space spanned by $Tv$: $V_0=alphacdotwidehatTvmidalphainmathbbC$
(or $alphainmathbbR$), where $widehatTv=Tv/|Tv|$. Define
$f_0:V_0rightarrowmathbbC$ by $f(alphacdotwidehatTv)=alpha$.
Clearly $f_0$ is linear with $|f_0|=1$. By Hahn-Banach Theorem,
there exists $fin V'$ such that $|f|=|f_0|=1$ and $fvert_V_0=f_0$.
We have that
begineqnarray*
|Tv| & = & f(|Tv|cdotwidehatTv)\
& = & |f(|Tv|cdotwidehatTv)|\
& = & |f(Tv)|\
& = & |(Sf)(v)|\
& leq & |Sf|cdot|v|\
& leq & M.
endeqnarray*
It follows that $|T|leq M$.

    It follows that $|T|leq M$.
