Theorem
Let $R$ be a commutative ring.
Let $G$ be an $R$-module.
Let $G^*$ be the algebraic dual of $G$.
Let $\innerprod x t$ be the evaluation linear transformation from $G$ to $G^{**}$.
Then the mapping $\phi: G \times G^* \to R$ defined as:
- $\forall \tuple {x, t} \in G \times G^*: \map \phi {x, t} = \innerprod x t$
satisfies the following bilinearity properties:
\(\text {(1)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \forall x, y \in G: \forall t \in G^*: \, \) | \(\ds \innerprod {x + y} t\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \innerprod x t + \innerprod y t\) | ||||||||||
\(\text {(2)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \forall x \in G: \forall s, t \in G^*: \, \) | \(\ds \innerprod x {s + t}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \innerprod x s + \innerprod x t\) | ||||||||||
\(\text {(3)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \forall x \in G: \forall t \in G^*: \forall \lambda \in R: \, \) | \(\ds \innerprod {\lambda x} t\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \lambda \innerprod x t\) | ||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \innerprod x {\lambda t}\) |
