Weak topology and weak convergence

TheoremWeakly convergent sequences are norm-bounded#✓fully proved

Let \(E\) be a normed space over \(\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{R}\) or \(\mathbb{C}\), let \((u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}\) be a sequence in \(E\) and let \(x \in E\). If \(f(u_n) \to f(x)\) as \(n \to \infty\) for every continuous linear functional \(f \colon E \to \mathbb{K}\), then the norms are bounded above: there is a real number \(C\) with \(\|u_n\| \le C\) for all \(n\).

TheoremWeakly open sets contain lines through each point#✓fully proved

Every nonempty weakly open set contains a whole line through each of its points: if U is weakly open and x ∈ U, then x + t • v ∈ U for all scalars t and some nonzero v (a common kernel vector of the finitely many functionals constraining a basic weak neighbourhood of x).
