Bilinear Forms

The geometry of Rn is controlled algebraically by the dot product. We will abstract the dot product on Rn to a bilinear form on a vector space and study algebraic and geometric notions related to bilinear forms (especially the concept of orthogonality in all its manifestations: orthogonal vectors, orthogonal subspaces, and orthogonal bases). Section 1 defines a bilinear form on a vector space a...

Arens regularity of bilinear forms and unital Banach module spaces

Assume that $A$‎, ‎$B$ are Banach algebras and that $m:Atimes Brightarrow B$‎, ‎$m^prime:Atimes Arightarrow B$ are bounded bilinear mappings‎. ‎We study the relationships between Arens regularity of $m$‎, ‎$m^prime$ and the Banach algebras $A$‎, ‎$B$‎. ‎For a Banach $A‎$‎-bimodule $B$‎, ‎we show that $B$ factors with respect to $A$ if and only if $B^{**}$ is unital as an $A^{**}‎$‎-module‎. ‎Le...

A note on bilinear forms

Bilinear Forms on Frobenius Algebras

We analyze the homothety types of associative bilinear forms that can occur on a Hopf algebra or on a local Frobenius k-algebra R with residue field k. If R is symmetric, then there exists a unique form on R up to homothety iff R is commutative. If R is Frobenius, then we introduce a norm based on the Nakayama automorphism of R. We show that if two forms on R are homothetic, then the norm of th...
