In other words it is the weakest topology such that all elements of the predual are continuous when considered as functions on B H . Relation with the weak operator topology The ultraweak topology is similar to the weak operator topology. For example, on any norm bounded set the weak operator and ultraweak topologies are the same, and in particular the unit ball is compact in both topologies. The ultraweak topology is stronger than the weak operator topology. One problem with the weak operator topology is that the dual of B H with the weak operator topology is too small . The ultraweak topology fixes this problem the dual is the full predual B sub sub H of all trace class operators. In general the ultraweak topology is more useful than the weak operator topology, but it is more complicated to define, and the weak operator topology is often more apparently convenient. The ultraweak topology can be obtained from the weak operator topology as follows. If H sub 1 sub is a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space then B H can be embedded in B H H sub 1 sub by tensoring with the identity map on H sub 1 sub . Then the restriction of the weak operator topology on B H H sub 1 sub is the ultraweak topology of B H .

Unreferenced date December 2009 In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics a dual topology is a locally convex topology on a dual pair , two vector space s with a bilinear form defined on them, so that one vector space becomes the continuous dual of the other space. The different dual topologies for a given dual pair are characterized by the Mackey Arens theorem. All locally convex topologies with their continuous dual are trivially a dual pair and the locally convex topology is a dual topology. Several topological properties depend only on the dual pair and not on the chosen dual topology and thus it is often possible to substitute a complicated dual topology by a simpler one.
