- Introduce the nondegenerate pairing (
(flip_)quotDualCoannihilatorToDual_injective
) betweenM ⧸ W.dualCoannihilator
andW
. IfM
is a vector space andW
is a finite-dimensional subspace of its dual, this is a perfect pairing (quotDualCoannihilatorToDual_bijective
), andW
is equal to the annihilator of its coannihilator. - Use this pairing to show that
dualAnnihilator
anddualCoannihilator
give an antitone order isomorphismorderIsoFiniteCodimDim
between finite-codimensional subspaces in a vector space and finite-dimensional subspaces in its dual. This result can be e.g. found in Bourbaki's Algebra. For a finite-dimensional vector space, this gives an OrderIso between all subspaces and all subspaces of the dual. - Add some lemmas about the image and preimage of annihilators and coannihilators under
Dual.eval
. - Expand the docstring of
basis_finite_of_finite_spans
with comments on generalizations.
