# Dual Space - Algebraic Dual Space

Algebraic Dual Space

Given any vector space V over a field F, the dual space V* is defined as the set of all linear maps φ: VF (linear functionals). The dual space V* itself becomes a vector space over F when equipped with the following addition and scalar multiplication:

begin{align} & (varphi + psi)(x) = varphi(x) + psi(x) \ & (a varphi)(x) = a left(varphi(x)right) end{align}

for all φ, ψV*, xV, and aF. Elements of the algebraic dual space V* are sometimes called covectors or one-forms.

The pairing of a functional φ in the dual space V* and an element x of V is sometimes denoted by a bracket: φ(x) = or φ(x) = ⟨φ,x⟩. The pairing defines a nondegenerate bilinear mapping : V* × VF.

### Famous quotes containing the words space, algebraic and/or dual:

In the tale proper—where there is no space for development of character or for great profusion and variety of incident—mere construction is, of course, far more imperatively demanded than in the novel.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,
Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
