\begin{definition}[Real Polar]
\label{definition:real-polar}
Let $\dpn{E, F}{\lambda}$ be a duality over $K \in \RC$ and $A \subset E$, then
\[
A^\circ = \bracsn{y \in F| \text{Re}\dpn{x, y}{\lambda} \le 1 \forall x \in A}
\]
is the \textbf{real polar} of $A$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Absolute Polar]
\label{definition:absolute-polar}
Let $\dpn{E, F}{\lambda}$ be a duality over $K \in \RC$ and $A \subset E$, then
\[
A^\square = \bracsn{y \in F|\ |\dpn{x, y}{\lambda}| \le 1 \forall x \in A}
\]
is the \textbf{absolute polar} of $A$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:polar-properties}
Let $\dpn{E, F}{\lambda}$ be a duality over $K \in \RC$, then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\emptyset^\circ = \emptyset^\square = F$ and $F^\circ = F^\square = \bracs{0}$.
\item For any $A, B \subset E$ and $\lambda \ne 0$, if $\lambda A \subset B$, then $B^\circ \subset \lambda^{-1}A^\circ$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
