Given a dual pair, a dual topology on is a locally convex topology so that
Here denotes the continuous dual of and means that there is a linear isomorphism
(If a locally convex topology on is not a dual topology, then either is not surjective or it is ill-defined since the linear functional is not continuous on for some .)
